Chapter 8
I'M READY I'M READY I'M READY I'M READY! TO RELEASE ANOTHER CHAPTER! YOU CAN'T STOP ME NOW! Oh-OH-OOOHHH! Welcome back everybody, Zayden StormVoid here once again for another chapter of MY HERO POKEDAMIA! As you tell by the horrible parody, I have been a little busy watching the new Spider-Man: Miles Morales game, 100% pure awesomeness.
But anyways, last time we had Izuku's second day of U.A. where he explained/lied about what his Quirk is, Serena returned and has joined Class 1-A, we find out how Serena made it in, we see Izuku's hero suit, and Battle Training has begun with Deku vs Bakugou.
But before we dive in further, let's head on over to the reviews!
LincolnRonnie94: No, she is in the harem, she just hasn't had any personal interaction with Izuku, same with Asui, Nejire, Melissa, Setsuna and Mei. Also as for other comment, yes, I did get my inspiration from Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and you can expect these two Pokémon to be on the same stat level as their Partner versions.
Yellowpikmin88: They will be joining in on this lesson, with only one Pokémon per student used as a helper. As for the Pokémon suggestions, well done and nice calls, like you are right on Psychic types being Ochako's specialty, and the Snover suggestion is actually smart and something Momo would probably do, if those berries produce fat.
Zelavin: True enough All Might would stop the fight if it came to that, but I get the feeling that it will be someone else that lets the fight continue. Just wait and see. Also, look here ladies and gents, we have prophet here that has both seen the future and speaks truth.
Mystery889: Because a) I like Eevee and Pikachu, b)I found Eevee compares a lot with Izuku and that one of the Pokémon that was deemed as useless while in Eevee form in the past is now more significant than his Eevelutions, and c) adding in Eevee there are Nine Eevelutions like there are 9 current users of One For All.
Musical Dragon Rider: That is because of a sadistic God and Watcher of The Multiverse that finds mortal suffering and sadness amusing! Also, for Izuku you can just picture his Hero Costume during the Hero Killer Stain Arc with the aforementioned alterations. As for Serena, sadly I do not as I had to make this up by scratch, but you can look up a woman's diving suit and then pictured it with scale-like armor similar to Mera, Aqualad and Tempest.
Pixel's Fanbooks: Welcome boys and girls to Pixel's Review's Review, with your host with the most, Zayden, the Analyst, StormVoid! And on the camera again is Wade Wilson, The Deadpool.
DP: Ahem, its Missuer Deadpool Stabbingsworth the III actually.
Yeah, I'm never calling you that. Play the theme music!
(Cue Way Up by Jaden [From Into the SpiderVerse] 0:00-0:32)
Now straight on into the review. Yep, Serena was fated to take the purple pervs spot, and kind of hard not to blush when you have bazookas pressed onto your chest by the first girl that you have had a positive reaction towards. And yes, the dreaded bane of every harem ever, Jealousy and Competition. I would say that Mina isn't fully there on the love train yet but she has her ticket and is starting to board, and she will be by far the chillest of the group, with Torru not far behind. Its Uraraka, Momo, and Serena that Izuku better watch out. And that's even counting the others.
DP: Ugh, Women. Always so territorial and cut-throat with each other. Why can't they just share like me and the boys do with pizza?
Well Wade, first off, would you want Rogue or Psylocke or even Lady Death to be hounded by other dudes? And also what do mean share with you and the boys? I walked in to see you, Wilcat, Vanoss, and Wolverine tearing each other apart over the last slice of pepperoni pizza.
DP: Quiet you. And those two babes get hounded on by creeps and horny dudes on the internet all the time.
Fair enough. As for Kaminari, while he definitely has more morals and standards compared to Mineta, he is now the only perv of Class 1-A and a ladies man. Plus with half of the girls in his class already pining for one green bean, of course the Sparkplug would be stoked for another single chick, only to have that same girl pine for Deku as well.
DP: I feel you man. Kind of hard to get the ladies when you look like me.
You got the hot Lady of Death for a girlfriend.
DP: Clearly you haven't read the latest Deadpool comics.
4th wall breaking aside, Kaminari will definitely be more competent in this story than his canon version, mostly because he is one of my favorite characters. As for Toshinori and Inko, ToshInko for life! And for Serena's hero outfit, I was a little stumped for what to make it and then I decided to go for a mixture of a diving suit, mixed in with DC's Atlantean armor, like Aqualad, Mera, and Tempest. Glad to see that my work payed off.
Izuku and Pikachu will have a sort of best bros kind of friendship, with the two riffing and joking on one another, while Eevee has a more childhood friend vibe.
All interesting choices of Pokémon there, though you will have to wait and see.
DP: Aren't you going to use it this chapter like you said?
Nope, that was a typo I forgot to get rid of. That reveal will happen later.
DP: You Lying Piece Of-
Story decision aside, that's all we have for now! Glad you liked the chapter, hope you love this chapter because this is a fight 11 years in the making. This has been Pixel's Review's Review and as always, Go Beyond. PLUS-
*RRRRRAAAAAWWWRRR*
I THOUGHT I TOLF YOU TO GET THAT TIGER UNDER CONTROL!
DP: Oh I did. That was Boseman.
Boseman?
DP: My pet panther. Ms. Cuddlesworth needed a friend.
Ok. But why Boseman?
DP: In Honor of Chadwick Boseman, duh! WAKANDA FOREVER! ALSO PLUS ULTRA!
*Sigh* I shouldn't be surprised at this point.
DP: Well you should be, he's right behind you.
AAAAAAHHHHHH!
(Technical Difficulties as chibi Zayden runs from chibi panther with a Black Panther shirt, redundant as it is, while chibi Deadpool eats popcorn and watches.)
And also as one last bonus fact, something that all of you missed was that when Inko told Izuku that she would be there with him 'Always', I did that in reference and inspiration from Harry Potter talking to his mother in the Deathly Hallows Part 2 asking her to 'Stay Close to me' and she replies with 'Always.'
With all that said, as always, I don't own My Hero Academia, belongs to Horikoshi and Bones Studios, or Pokémon, property of Gamefreak and Nintendo.
NOW LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Deku vs Bakugou
Izuku POV
Past...
After walking past the destroyed gate, the five of us kids walked deeper into the forest. Bakugou's three lackeys went on ahead, looking aimlessly for Pokemon.
"None here." Yubi called out. "Jus a bunch of useless Rattatas."
"Keep searching!" Bakugou called out. "I know that there are supposed to be a huge amount of Pokémon here!"
"How do you know?" Yubi questioned.
"It Obvious You Idiots!" Bakugou called out. "I saw a couple of cool Pokémon wonder in here! I would have captured them then if it wasn't for my hag of a mom!"
"Wow!" Tsubasa said. "You are so cool, Kacchan! Standing up to your parents like that!"
"Of course, I am." Bakugou smirked arrogantly before raising his hand into the air. "I'M ME!" He unleashed a big explosive blast into the air, startling a few Starlys and Pidgeys. "There they Go! Follow Them! Perhaps one of those Pokémon has a cool Egg Move or is a Shiny!"
The three kids run off after them, leaving Bakugou marching arrogantly with me and Eevee following behind him.
"Wow, You're so Lucky! Your Quirk is Amazing, Kacchan!" I praised the kid. "When I get mine, I hope its just as Cool!"
"Whatever Deku." Bakugou scoffed and looked back. "No Matter what power you may end up with, You'll never be able to defeat me."
Bakugou turned back and ran off, leaving me behind. "W-Wait up Kacchan!" I said.
Back then, I was a little hurt by what Bakugou said and I knew Eevee was a little mad too, I mean who wouldn't when their friend barely acknowledges and makes fun of you? I wanted to retort back, but back then I guess I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Or I was just scared that he would get mad and attack me. Wouldn't have been the first time. So instead I followed. Even if I knew that all the cooler, rarer Pokémon were in fact west of us due to their migration and food sources, I still I followed, placing my trust in who I thought was my best friend that I would find something cool.
Suddenly, I stopped. I felt this weird feeling around me, as if something unordinary was near. The nagging feeling directed my gaze to my right, to see another path, hidden by a pair of large bushes. I brushed the bushes aside to see a small stream flowing from the right along the hidden path. My eyes widened to see something I never seen before.
It was a Pokémon, but none that I had ever seen before. It was small, around Eevee's height yet instead of walking around it was flying, floating and zipping around, all the while making a giggle of sorts. It was entirely pink, with two large blue eyes, its head was feline-like, its snout wide and roundish and its ears like triangles. It had two short arms, its small paws had three fingers, large hind paws with an oval marking on the back of its foot. It also had a tail, a really long, thin one with the tip of it more ovalish and wide.
I stared at it with wide, awe-filled eyes, engraving its flight and giggles in my head for years to come. It floated over to the stream and dipped its head slightly, licking the water, before it launches into the air, flying circles while laughing gleefully. It suddenly stopped and looked towards me, with me gasping in awe. I titled my head to the right to get a different angle of it only for the mysterious Pokémon to tilt its head left, mimicking my movements. I leaned my head left and the Pokémon mimed my movement again, I giggled and the Pokémon giggled in delight at this unofficial game we were playing.
Eevee poked his head through the bushes, wondering what I was seeing before gasping likewise as it saw the pink Pokémon. Said Pokémon looked at Eevee before it suddenly glowed bright blue and suddenly transformed into another Eevee. We gasped in shock and see how the once pink Pokémon was giggling and running around like Eevee, with my own Eevee smiling before jumping through the bushes and running around with the Pokémon. Eevee crouched into a pouncing posture and jumped towards the clone Eevee, only for the clone Eevee to jump high into the air, Eevee missing completely, and it glowed bright blue before transforming back to normal, giggling at Eevee's failed attempt to catch him.
I smiled wide and laughed joyfully, bring the creature's attention back at me. It slowly floated towards me, its own eyes staring at me with curiosity. I reached out my hand slowly to touch it. But just before I made contact, "HEY DEKU!"
I flinched and looked back to where Bakugou was, Eevee likewise sticking his head through the other side of the bushes, waiting a few meters away with the others. "HURRY UP USELESS DEKU BEFORE WE DITCH YOUR BUTT!"
"Oh! B-But I found something!" I called back as I turned back. "Something-"
But as I looked back, the Pokémon was gone, vanished into thin air. Me and Eevee stood there in confusion, looking around for the pink creature, before Bakugou walked back towards me and shoved me away. "Alright, what is it? Better not be something stupid." Bakugou grumbled before looking into the bushes and seeing the hidden path. "Hey, look! A secret path! What do you know? Looks like you did something right after all, Deku. Come on guys, Let's Go!"
I shrugged off the shove, dismissing it as Kacchan being Kacchan, and quickly followed the group down the new path, all the while me and Eevee still looked for the mysterious Pokémon.
Never knowing that it was right beside us, invisible, and giggling silently.
Third POV
Back in the present, Team A, of Izuku and Uraraka, and Team D, of Bakugou and Iida, stood facing All Might beside a large, abandoned building as he announced the rules.
"Team D, you two can go on inside." All Might said. "Once you are set up, you can release your selected Pokémon, same with the Team A outside. In five minutes, Team A will be let loose and the battle will begin!"
"Yes sir." The students said.
As Bakugou and Iida were about to enter the building, All Might stopped them. "Young Iida, Young Bakugou, the key to being successful in this challenge is to embody Villainy. Think from the perspective of any evil doer. If things go too far, I'll step in."
"Yes sir." Iida said as he dramatically bowed.
As All Might left to talk to Team A, he noticed Bakugou staring at Izuku, his teeth grounded together in a growling snarl. 'It won't be too hard for you to act like a Villain.' All Might thought bitterly.
Bakugou's Hero Costume consisted of a tight, sleeveless, black tank top that revealed his shoulders all the way up to the end of his biceps. The shirt formed a V-neck, an orange X was on the shirt, the top part of the X tracing over the V-neck and it had two black dots on one of its lines. He wore a metallic brace around his neck and shoulders, the ends rectangular and with three holes on each side. He wore black, baggy pants, a moss green belt, with a few grenades and Pokeballs strapped in, that held up his pants and connected with metallic knee guards, and wore black and red-orange boots. His hands were covered in black gloves, with orange on the palm side, that rode up in black sleeves covered by large gauntlets that appeared like grenades, holes on the end of the gauntlets over his hands. Finally, his mask was black and jagged, trimmed with orange trimming the sides before spiking up outwards in flare-shape protrusions, and it covered over his eyes that seem to embody pure animalistic rage.
He spoke again with a final warning. "And one more thing. A word of Warning." All Might stared back at the Team D, especially Bakugou, his sky blue eye brightly shining through the shadows over them in a warning glare. "Lethal Force is Not Permitted. If I see Anything that shows you would harm the other team Fatally, I will pull the plug and your team will Fail."
Iida shivered in fright before bowing low. "Y-Yes sir!"
Bakugou just glared, inwardly struggling to hold back his displeasure. As well as hold back the quivering of his clenched, shaking hand.
Inside, Iida and Bakugou walked through the halls of the building. "Even though this is training, it pains me to be aligned with criminal behavior." Iida said, holding his removed helmet with one arm.
They entered a large room, almost empty save for a few crates and boxes, and of course the weapon. The weapon was a large rocket, the coloring black with three painted lines of red and one line of grey metal with black dots. It stood on four black legs, at its pointed top was a iron rod, and by its side a metal screen with a fifteen minute countdown primed in.
"So, this is the weapon we must protect." Iida said as he tapped onto its metal hull a few times to receive hollow sounds. "Fake, of course."
As Iida was about to dig into his belt for his Pokeball, Bakugou shouted "Hey." Iida looked towards his partner who faced the door they came through. "Do you really think Deku has a Quirk?"
"Hmm?" Iida hummed in confusion. "You saw how he threw that ball. And his enhanced speed and strength, along with that green lightning that shot off of him. He even told me the name of the Quirk, Aura Force, as I recall. If you insinuate that he lied about it, then what other way could he do all those things if it wasn't for a Quirk?"
Bakugou scoffed in anger. Iida frowned in though 'Hmm, Midoriya did say that he and Bakugou were once childhood friends, but had a falling out years prior, presumably because of his supposed Quirklessness.' He placed a hand over his chin as though further. 'Midoriya was most likely bullied too, given the name that Midoriya claims Bakugou gave to him and combined it with the word useless. And he said it so casually, if not a little sadly, as if it was said about him repeatedly.'
His eyes widened as his mind came up with a hypothesis that he wished to dismiss as soon as it came up. 'Could...Could Bakugou have been one of those bullies? It would explain his aggressive and downright violent relationship with Midoriya, and the name. But...no, U.A. is supposed to be the finest Hero Training institution in Japan, surely they would have done background checks on all of us? They did so with that Mineta from before. I'm sure that they just had a falling out, how else would he be here? Surely U.A. wouldn't be so biased against powerful Quirks as to let such a character like a bully into its prestigious halls?'
Iida looked back to Bakugou, who still had his back turned to him. 'Might as well ask.'
"If I may ask, why is it that you seem especially angry when it comes to Midoriya?" Iida asked.
Bakugou remained silent, his clenched fists shaking. 'Was he seriously tricking me all these years.' Bakugou thought furiously. 'Like some sort of sick joke.'
"I heard that you and he were friends in childhood before you had a falling out of sorts." Iida said, as Bakugou froze. "Is this true?"
Bakugou remained silent and frozen before replying "Yeah." He said slowly, almost possessed. "A Falling out.' Inwards, he thought. 'Did he...Did he open his big, fat mouth about our Past?! Thinking he can gain some Sympathy from these Extras and paint me the Bad Guy For putting That Weakling In His Place?!'
Bakugou raised his head, a sick, feral smile on his face and his eyes filled with pure, violent rage.
'I'm Going To Roast That Damn Nerd Today!'
Meanwhile, outside, Deku, Uraraka, and Pikachu stood outside the building looking at the floor plans of the building.
"Wow." Uraraka said as she looked over the plans. "You think they are expecting us to memorize All of this building's plans. Man, its so Big! It'll be a pain to find the weapon in there." Uraraka looked up, her mind in thought. "You know, All Might is just as cool in person as he is on television! Man, I'm glad that he isn't threatening us with expulsion like Mr. Aizawa. Isn't that great De-"
Uraraka stopped as she looked at Deku, his steeled eyes wavering in fear, mouth quivering, his hands gripping the plans tightly and shakily. Beads of sweat rolled down his face.
"Um, Deku are you ok?" Uraraka asked concerned.
Izuku came to and said "Oh I'm sorry! It's just...we are up against Ka-Bakugou. Iida too."
"Oh right." Uraraka said, her chipper mood failing as she remembered the explosive teen's angry face and power. "Hey, I don't mean to ask, its none of my business but, why do you always seem you are about to call him something else but switch to Bakugou afterwards?"
Pikachu sighed. "I know she was going to bring that up. If that Mina chick realized that with Momo, then it wasn't going to be long before someone asked about that."
Izuku frowned sadly. "Well, back when me and Bakugou were...friends, I wasn't the only one who received a nickname. While he called me Deku, I always called him Kacchan. Its a combination of his first name, Katsuki, and chan, it was what me and the other neighbor kids always were comfortable calling him when we were young. I guess that...I am struggling against calling him that name, the name I used for my friend."
"You two must have been really close." Uraraka said.
"Yeah, close." Pikachu said bitterly. "Close to your face with his hand."
Izuku flinched at that. "Yeah, we were. All my life, I though he was amazing. He can be a real pain, no secret there, but his strength, his confidence and ambition, I always looked up to him for that. Not to mention his Quirk, so powerful and versatile, it seemed he could do anything. He was my Symbol of Victory, someone who never gave up no matter what and always won. Someone who seemed so much better than me in every way."
Uraraka stared at Izuku in silence, absorbing just how much the green-haired teen respected and admired the blonde. Pikachu stared at Izuku with a sad look, sad that his partner lost what must have been a really inspiring friend. Eevee listened in silence, remembering how he first met the blonde kid and his Cyndaquill, how they were they best of friends, and then he turned into such a jerk. Eevee always wondered where things could have gone so wrong.
"But," Izuku said as he stood straight, eyes relit in steeled determination. "That means I have to do better. Be Better, if I'm going to escape his shadow and be the Hero I want to be." He pulled his hooded mask over his eyes. "I Refuse to Lose!"
Uraraka and Pikachu stared at their friends in awe before smiling, determined themselves. "So," Uraraka said. "Its a Fated Battle between Rivals."
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Izuku apologized. "I'm not trying to get you wrapped up in my fight! It must have been a bore to hear all that, huh?"
"You kidding?" Uraraka questioned before placing on her helmet. "That just makes me extra pumped, and determined to win this too!"
"Yeah, boss." Pikachu said. "You may be more on your way to surpassing All Might than you know, because you sure are doing great in lifting people's spirits and getting them pumped."
Izuku smiled at Pikachu. Suddenly, Izuku heard Eevee's voice in his head. "Izuku, let me fight today."
'Huh.' Izuku mentally communicated. 'Are you sure, Eevee? We both know that if there is any Pokémon that Kacchan is going to use its Quillava, and you haven't won a fight against him."
"Neither have you with Bakugou." Eevee replied, surprising Izuku. "If you are going to face the music and strike back against the past, then I have my own score to settle. Me and Quillava, we were friends before sure, but someone needs to knock that him down a peg, and if its going to be anyone, its gotta be me!"
Izuku was silent as he though over Eevee's words and came to a conclusion. "Pikachu." Izuku said, as the Electric Mouse turned to him. "I want you to head back to the others and wait there for the rest of the match."
Uraraka and, most especially, Pikachu were shocked at the order. "Huh?" Pikachu said. "Boss, I'm the strongest, most experienced Pokémon you got! The new girl isn't ready and Eevee and Quillava were-"
"Pikachu." Izuku cut off Pikachu's argument, looking at him with determined eyes and a smile. "I've got a plan. Trust me."
Pikachu looked at his partner before sighing. "Alright, fine. You call the shots, that's why you're the boss. Hey Eevee, kick that Flame-Spewing Rat a Lesson He'll Never Forget!"
"You got it, Pikachu." Eevee replied.
Izuku and Uraraka watched as the Electric Type Pokémon run down the same path All Might and the others went.
"So," Uraraka said. "You said you got a plan?"
"Yeah, I do." Izuku said as his right fist clenched hard. "But first, your Pokémon, do you have any with the move Gravity or Psychic?"
Uraraka looked puzzled. "Yeah, Minnie, she knows both. But why do you ask?"
Izuku smiled.
Meanwhile, at the same time, All Might and the rest of Class 1-A, stood in front of a large screen, glowing green with the symbol of U.A. High as it showed camera footage of a few locations of the Battle Training area, one of which showed Bakugou and Iida in the room with the weapon and another the outside, showing Izuku, Uraraka, and Pikachu talking.
"Pay attention, kids." All Might said as he stood by a podium with a mic and papers placed onto it. "Learn from your classmates. Think about what you would do."
The group noticed at Izuku and Uraraka's screen it showed Pikachu running off screen somewhere.
"Huh? What happened?" Kirishima asked. "Where did Midobro's Pikachu run off to?"
"Could it be some kind of strategy?" Asui questioned.
A moments later, All Might heard a ringing noise and noticed the coms device on him was beeping green. He quickly placed the device on his ear, pressed onto the device and spoke through the microphone. "Yes, Midoriya, I read you loud and clear. What's going on? Where did you send Pikachu off to?" The students watch silently as All Might hummed for a few moments before saying "Understood. Good luck."
"Hey All Might, what was that about?" Kirishima asked. "Were you talking with Midobro?"
"If you are referring to Midoriya, yes, I was communicating with one of these communication devices." All might pointed at his ear to the device. "I gave one to each of them so that I communicate with them and listen in on their plans and grade them accordingly."
"So, what was with Pikachu running off?" Mina jumped in asking.
"Midoriya has decided to use a different Pokémon, his Eevee more specifically, for this exercise." All Might informed the class.
'Wait can he do that?" Kaminari asked.
"Yes, since the exercise hasn't started and his Pikachu has a habit of staying outside his Pokeball, Izuku can choose another Pokémon if he wishes." All Might revealed. "But once the exercise starts, then he and the rest will be forced to only use that one Pokémon."
"Looks like the others are getting out their Pokémon." Kyouka pointed out.
On the screen showing Bakugou and Iida, Bakugou called out his Quillava, the Fire Type Starter wearing the same kind of mask as Bakugou, and Iida called out a Lucario, the Aura Pokémon wearing a helmet similar to Iida's.
"Woah, seriously?!" Sato questioned. "Bakugou has a Fire Starter already evolved into its 2nd stage and Iida has a Lucario?!"
Mina brought out her Pokedex (Generation IV Johto female Pokedex) and pointed it at Quilava. Tt spoke in a feminine robotic voice "Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolved form of Cyndaquil. This Pokémon is fully covered by nonflammable fur. It can withstand any kind of fire attack."
"Makes sense that Bakugou would have a Pokémon like that." Asui said. "His explosions likely won't affect his Pokémon if it gets caught in the blast area and if it has Flash Fire it will become even stronger."
Todoroki brought out his own Pokedex too (Kalos Pokedex) and aimed it at Lucario. It spoke out in a masculine robotic voice saying "Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, and the evolved form of Riolu. By catching the Aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements."
"That will be a problem if Midoriya and Uraraka try to approach them with stealth." Kyouka said. "That Lucario will likely spot them instantly and whatever plan they have."
"Don't read too much into Pokedex info." Kaminari said. "I heard many of them were exaggerated or proven false."
"Faulty information aside, these Pokémon could determine this battle just as much as their Quirks and skills." Shoji said.
"And it would appear that they have trained their Pokémons hard to reach the levels that they are." Tokoyami said.
"Indeed." Momo said. "While Quilava evolves from Cyndaquil through normal leveling, Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day when it forms a strong friendship with its trainer. That would mean that Lucario has a lot of trust in its trainer and will follow his order without fail and with extreme efficiency."
Izuku brought out his own Pokémon, Eevee, while Uraraka brought out her own Pokémon, a Minior.
"Huh?" Sero said. "They are going to fight a fully evolved and 2nd evolution stage Pokémon with those two?"
Kaminari popped out his own Pokedex (Alola Pokedex) and aimed it at the Minior. "Minior, the Meteor Pokémon. Strong impacts can knock it out of its shell. This Pokémon was born from mutated nanoparticles."
"While its Rock typing would work well on Bakugou's Quilava, it would be risky having it face Iida's Lucario with its Steel Typing." Todoroki pointed out, as he aimed his Pokedex as Izuku's Eevee. "Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Thanks to its unstable genetic makeup, this special Pokémon conceals many different possible evolutions."
"Unfortunately, Midoriya's Eevee isn't particularly useful against any of the Villain Team's Pokémon and is especially weak towards Lucario." Asui said.
"Yeah, at least Pikachu would fair better, but I honestly don't know what Midoriya's planning." Kaminari said.
Serena looked at the screen, clenched hand over heart. 'I know you can do this, Izu.' Serena thought. 'Win and prove you aren't his punching bag anymore.'
"My my, have the battles already started?" A voice from behind the group said.
The group turned to face Principal Nezu and Shouta Aizawa by the entrance with Pikachu standing beside them.
"I hope we aren't too late to watch?" Nezu asked again.
"N-Nezu sir?!" All Might questioned. "What are you and Aizawa here?"
"I'm here to watch my class perform their first Battle Training against each other." Aizawa said simply, as if it was the most simplest thing in the world. "As for the rat, he said he wanted to 'drop in and watch'. Also, we ran into Midoriya's Pikachu on his way over here." Pikachu on cue ran up to Serena who cuddled with the Hydro Quirk user.
"I do hope it is alright with you, All Might, that we witness this exercise? It shouldn't be any problem, right?" Nezu asked, his eyes gleaming as if to say 'You have no other choice in the matter.'
"O-O-Of course not sir!" All Might stuttered much to the shock of the students at seeing the Symbol of Peace cower before U.A.'s Principal. "I-In fact I was just about to start the exercise."
"Lovely." Nezu said simply.
All Might turned to the screen and thought 'Young Midoriya, in this class, your just another student. I will grade you just like I would anyone else. Without playing favorites.' He grabbed the mic and announced "ALRIGHT! LET'S BEGIN THE INDOOR COMBAT TRAINING! TEAM A AND TEAM D! YOU'RE TIME STARTS NOW!"
Back at the building, Izuku, with Eevee on his shoulder, and Uraraka climbed and jumped inside an open window, Uraraka's Minior, or Minnie as she called it, floated on in after them.
"And just like that, we are in." Uraraka said.
"Careful, there are a lot of blind spots around here." Izuku warned her.
The two quickly, yet carefully, made their throughout the maze of halls of the building, keeping a lookout for Bakugou, Iida, or any of his Pokémon. 'While I don't have full control over One For All, Full Cowling lets me fight on par with the others without hurting myself in a single attack or accidentally killing someone.' Izuku thought over. 'But this isn't going to be a match decided on by strength, Bakugou still clearly surpasses me on that front, and its not going to be about speed, Iida has us beat on that too. If we are going to have a shot at winning this, we'll have to stick to the plan and adapt.'
Just as Izuku turned a corner, Eevee's ears perked up and the Evolution Pokémon whispered "Incoming!'"
Izuku quickly reacted and jumped, pushing Uraraka away as Bakugou popped out of a corner an fired a point-blank explosion at them. As the smoke cleared, Bakugou clearly missed, the wall beside the explosion teen scorched and destroyed with the two Heroes unscathed, the only casualty being his hoodie mask, with half of it gone.
"Uraraka, Eevee, are you two ok?!" Deku quickly asked as he got back up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Uraraka said.
"Peachy." Eevee replied.
"What's the matter Deku?" Bakugou taunted. "Afraid to fight back?"
Izuku simply smirked. "I knew you would try to sneak up on us." Izuku said. "It was like reading an open book."
Bakugou gritted his teeth in anger. "Well, did expect this?! Quilava! Flamethrower!"
On cue, Quilava jumped out of the corner on the opposite end of the hall and fired on the two Heroes with a Flamethrower. Before the flames could them however, Eevee jumped in and cast a green bubble of energy around him, the flames shielding the Pokémon and others from the attack.
"Yeah, I'd expect that." Izuku said. "You may be cocky and arrogant, but you are still smart."
Over at the viewing room, Kirishima slammed his fists and angrily shouted "Sneak attacks, Bakugou?! What kind of Man pulls off cheap tricks like that?!"
"Its a viable strategy." All Might said. "He's acting the part, pretending to be a Villain."
'I don't think he's pretending anything.' Serena thought.
Bakugou meanwhile rushed at Izuku saying "I won't you so bad that they'll have to stop the fight, JUST CLOSE!" Bakugou reared his right arm for another attack.
Only for Izuku to quickly dive in and grabbed Bakugou's right arm, stunning the ash-blonde teen. Izuku, quickly, then shifted his left foot back while pivoting his body to his left as well before he started pulling. 'H-How...how did the do that?!' Bakugou thought in disbelief. 'He's Not that Good!'
A second later, Izuku shoulder tosses Bakugou onto the ground, the surprised explosion teen groaning in pain as he bounced at the force of the throw. Uraraka and the other students who were watching eyes' widened in surprise and shock at the move.
"Woah! Look at him Go!" Uraraka said.
"Whoo! Is it getting hot in here?" Mina mumbled as she fanned herself.
"That was so cool!" Torru cheered.
Serena and Momo smiled widely at Izuku's move.
Quilava was momentarily stunned at what happened to his partner from Deku, before he growled in rage and rushed over to help him, only to get tackled by Eevee who pushed the Volcano Pokémon back.
As Bakugou got back up, Izuku said "Bakugou, you always use a big right hook to start a fight." Bakugou momentarily froze. "I know because I've watched you for years. All those times you threw a punch, used an explosion, I didn't just take it, I learned. I analyzed every amazing Hero's moves and tactics, even you. I wrote it all down, including in the notebook you burned and threw away!"
Bakugou gritted his teeth in anger as he turned to look at his former punching bag, who met his gaze with one of pure determination.
"You may call me useless, call me Deku all you want." Izuku said, as held his fists up. "But I'm not your punching bag anymore! You Hear Me?! I've Changed!"
Izuku's body and eyes sparked in green lightning. "From Now On, DEKU IS THE NAME OF A HERO!"
Uraraka gasped as she remembered her words yesterday and how much it must have meant to the green-haired teen.
Bakugou got up and shook and shivered in rage. "Deku!" Bakugou growled. "You talk big, but you are still shaking!" True to his words, despite his words and confident stance, Deku's legs and arms still shook slightly. "You are still afraid, yet you are fighting me anyway! THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU!"
Meanwhile at the viewing room, All Might, hearing every word of the two's declarations, didn't know whether to know smile so wide his would jaw broke or for once frown and growl in anger.
'I am proud of you, Young Midoriya.' All Might thought. 'Standing up to your fears with your head held high and ready. However, you, Young Bakugou, your reasoning, I can understand. You are always so used to the weak standing down before the mighty, like you and Midoriya before. But now that he has grown so strong, you can understand and bear it, and instead you are drowning in your hatred. Those eyes, they aren't those of a Hero in training or a Hero angry over the harm of innocents. They are the eyes of a Beast, a Monster who has lost all control. No better than a Villain.'
Aizawa and Nezu too heard through their own coms and frowned at the friction between the two.
Serena, while she couldn't hear, could see the anger and hatred in the blonde's eyes. 'Izu.' She though worryingly.
"Bakugou!" Bakugou heard Iida's voice through his coms. "Come in! Give Me a Status Report! Lucario can't see sense anything near you!" Eevee's ears perked up as he heard. "You are emitting too much negati-"
"Just Shut Up and Defend The Weapon!" Bakugou roared into his coms. "And Get That Pokémon Of Yours To Get Better!"
"Hey! Are You forgetting what our mission is supposed to-" Bakugou hung up Iida's coms.
"Wait so Bakugou is talking to Iida on his coms right?" Kirishima guessed. "Doesn't look like Iida liked what Bakugou said." Kirishima pointed at the screen where Iida looked like he was venting.
"Indeed." All Might said. "Young Bakugou turned off his coms."
"Clearly Bakugou is letting his emotions towards Midoriya cloud his judgement and is refusing to work cohesively with his partner." Momo deduced. "Unwise, reckless even."
"Wait, is that the capture tape you told us about?" Sero said pointing to the screen showing Bakugou bring out a roll of tape.
"Correct." All Might said. "Wrapping that around your opponent means you apprehended them, and they are out for the rest of the game, including their Pokémon."
"So there is a 15 minute countdown and the Heroes have no idea where the nuclear weapon is?" Mina deduced. "Then the Heroes are at a clear disadvantage, a big one at that."
"Real Pros have to outwit Villains and criminals on a daily basis." All Might replied. "Its unfair, but that's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor, we persevere and fight! That's what Heroes are all about!"
The students smiled in awe of the Number 1 Pro's advice.
"ALL TOGETHER NOW! WE ARE HEROES! PLUS ULTRA!"/"WE ARE HEROES! PLUS ULTRA!"
Nezu chuckled at All Might inspiring the youths while Aizawa sighed and rubbed his ears at the loud cheer.
Back at the fight, Bakugou readied himself to launch towards Deku, which the green bean noticed. "Uraraka! Go!" Deku yelled to which the girl immediately followed, running back down the hall where they came from with Minior in tow, leaving Deku and Eevee with Bakugou and Quilava.
Bakugou shot towards Deku, using his explosions as a boost. Bakugou twisted his body and threw a roundhouse kick which Deku blocked with his arm. "You Think You Can Take Me On Yourself, Deku?! Huh?!" Bakugou quickly realized that Deku was wrapping capture tape around his leg. Bakugou quickly counterattacked by unleashing another big blast at the nerd only for said 'shitty nerd' to dive away, leaving Bakugou growling further in rage.
As Deku slid to a halt he thought 'Hero Notebook Number 10. Luckily I saw how Eraserhead moved in action yesterday. I knew Bakugou would attack with another big blast. Yet, he also attacked with a kick, is he trying to mix up his moves so I won't predict?' Izuku looked as Bakugou glared at him with hatred, his attention fully focused on him. 'Good, he's angry enough to have ignored Uraraka. I have to keep it that way. Keep his attention on me and Eevee.'
Meanwhile, Quilava's mouth filled with flames as it lunged using Fire Fang. Eevee stood his ground waiting before swiping his tail on the ground and flicking dirt onto Quilava with Sand Attack, blinding the Pokemon. 'Just like Hawlucha showed me.' Eevee thought as the Evolution Pokémon remembered his training with Hawlucha during Izuku's 10 months of training. 'Wait till your opponent is close and blind him.'
Eevee quickly jumped out of Quilava's way as the Volcano Pokemon tried shaking the sand from his eyes. 'While he is blinded and distracted, look for a weak spot.' Eevee landed on the wall beside them and spotted Quilava's back side. 'And Strike!' Eevee jumped towards Quilava's backside, curled his body, and slammed into his backside, the Volcano Pokémon crying out in pain. "Body Slam!" Eevee jumped behind the temporarily downed foe. 'That should have struck with a critical hit. Yes, he is paralyzed.' As Eevee said, as Quilava tried standing, his body shook and shivered, having difficulty moving.
As Quilava got back up with a shake, Eevee spoke out to his former friend of his own saying "Izuku isn't the only one who has been training hard. I've been training as hard as I can to be the best partner I can be, to one day stand in the ring with you and hold my own. No, so that I may win against you. You've looked down on me for not evolving, saying that staying in a weaker form is wrong, but look at me now. Me up top, and you you down in the dirt!"
"Shut. Up!" Quilava shouted back. "You are just as annoying as your so called trainer! Me and Katsuki will show you two that we are the superior fighters and you two little more than useless runts!"
As both trainer and Pokémon both stood ready to launch themselves again, Deku shouted "Scatter!"
Deku, using Full Cowling zipped away down a corridor while Eevee took heed and fled down a different one using Quick Attack.
"Huh?! Get Back Here Deku!" Bakugou shouted, running off towards Deku's direction while Quilava followed Eevee. Bakugou would look towards where Deku went only to find no sign of him, the same with Quilava and Eevee. Just as Bakugou went down another hallway, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. Bakugou quickly dived behind him and blasted at the individual only for the smoke to clear to show that it was Quilava he almost struck.
"Shit!" Bakugou cursed at his mistake. The two nodded their heads, knowing that the attack wasn't intended for him, and looked around for Izuku and Eevee. Finally having enough, Bakugou roared in anger "DAMMIT! YOU WERE TRICKING ME FOR YEARS, WEREN'T YOU?! LAUGHING BEHIND MY BACK AS YOU HAD A QUIRK ALL ALONG?! DOESN'T MATTER! YOUR QUIRK, NO QUIRK COMPARES TO MINE! QUIRK OR NOT, YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME DEKU!"
Izuku flinched as he heard but roared out "KEEP TALKING! THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU'RE ONLY GOOD AT! BIG TALK! SO COME FIND ME IF YOU WANT TO BITE AS MUCH AS YOU BARK!"
Izuku heard Bakugou roar in fury and run towards his voice, but Izuku ran away from his position and continued running. 'So far, Bakugou and Quilava are splitting up to try to find Eevee and me. With Full Cowling and Quick Attack, me and Eevee can zip around through the building and keep Bakugou and Quilava's attention on us. Meanwhile, Uraraka goes to find the weapon and take care of Iida until we are both in position.' Izuku's right hand twitched in anticipation. 'Its risky and it might not even work, but I can't lead Bakugou back towards Iida if I try to go with her and take down Iida together. So, I'll keep Bakugou angry and distracted while Eevee does the same with Quilava. Even if I don't like acting like him, I'll do it for the sake of the mission.'
'By the way, 'Kacchan',' Izuku thought finally. 'There is one thing I truly want to say. What I said, about not wanting to compete with you, I Take It Back! So Bring It On!'
Meanwhile, with Bakugou, as he continued searching from room to room, hallway to hallway, while Quilava searched the opposite direction of him. Bakugou's mind flashed back to his childhood days, to every major interaction between him and Deku.
'Jeez Izuku, You really can't do anything right, can you?' Young Bakugou said as Izuku failed to keep a ball up like him.
'Deku, that must be the name of a hopeless, worthless failure.' Young Bakugou said as he gave Deku his nickname.
'Why can't you do anything right?!' He said at Deku.
'Hey did you hear, Izuku doesn't have a Quirk. Its called being Quirkless. So dumb.' Young Bakugou heard the kids at preschool kids reveal about Deku.
'You're a total failure Deku.' Young Bakugou thought when he heard the news.
'Impressive. I bet that's going to grow into an amazing Quirk.'/'Definitely, a flashy Quirk for a future Hero.' The two suck up preschool teachers said.
'Yeah, their right! I am Amazing! In fact, I bet there's no one as great as I am!' His younger self thought.
Suddenly, Bakugou's memories took him back down that very fateful day.
Flashback...
Bakugou POV
"Wow, You're so Lucky! Your Quirk is Amazing, Kacchan!" Deku praised him. "When I get mine, I hope its just as Cool!"
"Whatever Deku." I scoffed and looked back. "No Matter what power you may end up with, You'll never be able to defeat me."
Afterwards, Deku found that hidden path through the bushes that they took. Soon Bakugou, those three lackies, and Deku marched through a large fallen log over a small stream. "Forward, March, And Here We Go! Members of the Agency Bakugou!" His younger self chanted. "Sound the-AAAAHHHH!" Then I fell into the stream.
"Kacchan! Are you ok?!" Bendy Fingers cried out worried.
"Oh don't worry." Tsubasa said. "Kacchan is super tough. See?"
I got out of the stream alright.
"I was just fine on my own, Deku."
"Hurry and get back up here!" One of the them said.
"Sure, just give me one second."
"I didn't need your stupid help!"
As I was getting up, Deku came up to me with his hand out to him and his face concerned. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? I was worried you might have hit your head on something?"
My confident smile turned into a frown and then into a snarl as I slapped his hand away.
"But you looked at me like I was some kind of weakling! Like You!"
I remembered I tried to attack him, but then I felt something shove me in the back and I fell into the stream again. I got up to see if it was Deku's stupid Eevee, but there was nothing there.
Flashback over...
'But I'm Not!' Bakugou mentally screamed in his head like a mantra. 'I'm Not Weak Like You! I'm So Much Better Than You!'
With Uraraka, she and Minior turned a corner and quickly hid behind one of the pillars in the large room. She peeked out and whispered "Found it."
She saw Iida pacing around while his Lucario was in a meditative stance. 'So, Deku was right. Iida does have a Lucario. It's still strange how he knew, though.'
Uraraka remembered as she and Deku went over their plan, how she strongly stood against it at first before Deku eased her.
Flashback...
"Are you sure this will work?" She asked.
"Bakugou will chase after me, I'm sure." Deku said. "Iida would be the smarter to send, but I know Bakugou will go after us himself. He's too energetic to stand around doing nothing. Plus, he'll come mostly just to attack me. We will use that to our advantage. I'll egg Bakugou on and rile up his anger so that Iida's Lucario can't sense us. Lucario can sense people's Aura and emotions and use them read their minds. But if Bakugou's becomes so riled up, his negative emotions will make it hard for Iida's Lucario to get a read on us."
"Wait, how do you know Iida is going to use a Lucario?" She asked. Deku looked at her confused. "Actually, how do you even know that Iida has a Lucario? We've never seen him reveal his own Pokemon before."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Deku asked. "Its obvious that he has a Lucario. Can't you feel it?"
She looked at him with confusion before Deku immediately did a double take and said "I-I mean, my Quirk revolves around Aura, so I can feel when a Pokémon that uses Aura is around, r-right?"
"R-Right." Uraraka agreed reluctantly, though to her it sounded less like an obvious statement and more like he was questioning himself.
Flashback...
'I can think about that later.' Uraraka thought. 'Right now, I need to contact Deku and tell him where the bomb is and our position, and to hide long enough until he is in position.'
Just Uraraka was about contact Deku through her coms, Iida spoke out loudly "Bakugou definitely has a Villainous side, one that I don't think he's doing intentionally for this mission, but that's exactly what we need to succeed just as All Might said. Hmm, I must devote myself temporarily to criminal intent. Yes! I won't fail this trail and bring shame upon the Iida family name! That means: I Must Now Embrace Evil To Become a Hero!"
Iida turned around and shouted out loud "Behold! I Am The Personification Of Villainy! BWAHAHAHAHA!"
Lucario, while still meditating, had a comical sweat drop roll down his head in embarrassment.
Uraraka broke out into giggles at the Iida's roleplaying. 'He's So Serious.' Uraraka mentally laughed out.
Lucario's ears perked, his eyes flaring open at Uraraka's position. "RRAWWR!" He yelled at Iida gaining the Engine Quirk user's attention and pointing it at where Uraraka was, Iida noticing a glimpse of Uraraka's helmet.
"Uraraka, is that you?!" Iida yelled out in his dastardly Villain voice.
Uraraka flinched. 'Shit! I gave myself away!' Uraraka nervously stepped out of her hiding spot, her Minior floating beside her.
"AHA! I Knew you would come here the moment that Bakugou ran off by himself and engaged with Midoriya!" Iida dramatically declared as Lucario got up. "Your Quirk allows you to float any object that you touched! But I prepared for that!" Iida dramatically waved his arms around the empty room, save for the weapon. "By Removing Every Object in This Room So You Have Nothing To Use Against Me, Do-gooder!"
Iida pointed at Uraraka. "My Dastardly tricks have Rendered You Helpless! You Blundered Hero! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"He really is...playing the part." Uraraka muttered.
"Dwaaaahh./Rrawwr." Minior cried out and Lucario sighed in agreement.
As Izuku hid from Bakugou, he suddenly heard Uraraka's voice through his headset. "Um, Deku?"
"Yeah, I'm here." Deku said. "Did you find the weapon?"
"Yeah I did, but Iida and his Lucario found me." Uraraka said. "Sorry."
"That's alright." Izuku said. "Where are you?"
"Near the middle of the 5th floor." Uraraka revealed.
Deku looked above him and said "Right above me. Keep Iida busy and make sure to lure Lucario to the center and distracted."
"You got it." Uraraka said as she shut her coms off.
"Alright, Uraraka is in position." Izuku muttered. "Now I've got to get Bakugou and Quilava over here."
"Found you, Deku."
Izuku quickly dived away from his position as Bakugou attempted to sneak attack him again from behind. Before Izuku could get out of Bakugou's range, Bakugou grabbed onto Deku's leg and tossed him away. Izuku recomposed himself and pivoted his body in mid-air to land in a slide. 'Well, that was easier than expected.' Izuku thought.
"I finally found you, Deku." Bakugou repeated, a maniac grin on his face. "Now, what was it is you said? Oh right, show you my Bite Is As Big As My Bark!"
Bakugou launched towards Deku using his explosions to propel him forward. Deku steeled himself and stood ready. 'One For All! Full Cowling: 5%!' He mentally roared as he sped towards Bakugou to face him head on. Bakugou brought his right arm back, before immediately switching to his left arm and attempted to blast Deku once again. Deku quickly slid and tried wrapping his capture tape on Bakugou's leg. Bakugou reacted quickly, firing an explosion at Izuku that the green-haired teen rolled away from. Bakugou propelled backwards by his explosion, twisted his body in mid-air and fired an explosion to send him back towards Deku, only for Deku to land on his hands from his roll and shoot himself forward, smashing into Bakugou's solar plexus with his feet.
Bakugou spat up some spit at the impact and crashed into the wall next behind him, before quickly recovering and blasted himself forward and firing a point blank explosion at Deku, who barely managed to block with his arms crossed. Deku was blasted back to the wall behind him and quickly rolled away from Bakugou's second explosion, the remaining part of Deku's mask burnt away.
Deku quickly launched towards Bakugou and fired a powerful punch at Bakugou, who blocked with his own crossed arms, the explosive teen flinching at the strength behind it that definitely bruised one of his arms. Bakugou growled in anger because of this and launched a kick at Izuku's side, causing the teen to gasp in pain, with Bakugou quickly following by tossing Izuku down the hall to Bakugou's right with an explosion, causing the successor of All Might to crash into the wall.
Deku groaned before getting back up at the slowly approaching Bakugou, before he heard movement and heat to his his right and side-stepped in time before he Quilava could slam into him with a Flame Wheel.
At the viewing room, the students watch in awe of Izuku's fight with Bakugou and Izuku managing to evade both Bakugou and his Quilava.
"Damn, Midoriya is really holding his own against Bakugou and Quilava!" Kirishima said. "He's so Manly!"
"No." Serena said, drawing the group's attention. "He may look like he's holding his own, but Izu's clearly on the defensive. He may be fast and strong, but against two opponents at once, he is barley keeping up."
The group turned back to see that she was indeed right. They saw that Deku was clearly not trying to attack Bakugou or Quilava anymore and was purely evading the two. They saw Deku jumping onto the roof and springing downwards to evade Bakugou's explosion only to get tackled by Quilava using Quick Attack.
'The girl is right.' All Might thought. 'At 5% of One For All, Midoriya may be faster and stronger than an ordinary human, but Bakugou's speed using his explosions and Quilava's own speed make it extremely difficult for him to counterattack.'
Nezu stared at the fight when he noticed Izuku managing to toss Bakugou onto the roof above them. The principal of U.A. smiled.
Over with Uraraka, she and Minior stood against Iida and his Lucario, with the speedster still monologuing.
"As you can see Hero, without any objects around for you to use, you Quirk is Useless!" Iida yelled out.
Uraraka smirked. "I wouldn't be too sure about that Iida!"
Before Iida could respond, Uraraka yelled out "Minnie use Rock Slide!"
The Meteor Pokémon complied, glowing purple in energy before glowing purple rocks suddenly materialized above Iida and Lucario.
Iida reacted quickly, speeding away from the falling debris while ordering "Lucario, Bone Rush to destroy those rocks!"
Lucario created a long, thin staff that looked like a bone at the ends made of glowing blue energy. The Aura Pokémon jumped around the falling rocks and would strike at those near him.
Uraraka quickly reacted, touching any fallen rocks and the destroyed remnants of the rest, making all of them float in mid-air. 'Normally, Minnie would have trouble levitating a lot of objects at once, but since they don't weigh a thing, it makes it all the more easier.' Uraraka though before yelling "Minnie, Psychic on the rocks! Keep them off me!"
The nicknamed Minior glowed purple again, telekinetically lifting and moving the floating rocks. It levitated the rocks and sped them around Uraraka like she had her own orbit of meteors. "Special Move!" Uraraka yelled. "Orbit Shield!"
"Smart." Aizawa complimented. "Using the floating objects that her Minior created to make it easier for her Pokémon to move and protect her with it. However-"
Iida was taken aback by the move before noticing that she was heading towards the weapon. Quickly he rushed towards her, but jumped back, avoiding the boulder that nearly collided on him. Noticing the purple halos around the rocks, Iida quickly reacted. "Lucario! Rush at Uraraka's Minior! Keep it busy!"
Lucario complied, zooming over to the Meteor Pokémon with his Bone Rush attack and swung. Minior quickly reacted, floating away from the attacks from the Aura Pokemon.
'But Bone Rush is a Ground Type move.' Uraraka thought confused. 'Why would Iida have Lucario attack a Flying Type with an Earth Type Move?'
Uraraka received her answer as the rocks around her lost their momentum and floated slowly around her. Uraraka eyes widened barely looking to her front as Iida charged in and slammed into Uraraka.
"Wait what just happened?" Torru asked.
"Iida knew that to attack Uraraka head on with her shield would be useless and waste time as she drew closer to the weapon." Momo began explaining. "So instead of breaking through her defenses manually, he instead had Lucario focus on the source of her shield's effectiveness: Uraraka's Minior. And at the heat of the moment, they didn't need Minior to be attacked to break its concentration with Psychic, only distract it. As such, Uraraka's shield lost its effectiveness, giving Iida an opportunity to push Uraraka away."
"E-Excellent deduction, Young Yaoyorozo!" All Might said. 'Man, she stole the words out of mouth before I could speak.'
Uraraka tumbled back towards Minnie, getting up with a groan as Iida and Lucario rejoined in front of the weapon.
"A valiant attempt, Hero, but you'll have to be quicker than that if you want to get your hands on this weapon!" Iida monologued.
Gritting her teeth in frustration, Uraraka looked at the timer on the bomb.
5:45
'Dammit!' Uraraka cursed in her head. 'I have to find another way to get to the bomb quickly. If not, then we'll have to go with the plan. But how?'
Before they could continue, a huge, thundering boom sounded, the building shaking as a result, causing the two students and their Pokémon to stumble.
"What's Happening?!" Iida yelled. "And Earthquake?! An Explosion?!"
Uraraka's eyes widened in fear. "Deku!" She whispered out.
Over with Izuku, he slid to a stop panting. 'I've got to hurry.' Izuku mentally chastised himself. 'If I waste anymore time, time will run out and we'll lose.'
"I'm all loaded up." Bakugou muttered as he stood at the opposite end of the hall with Quilava by his side. "What are you waiting for, Deku? Don't tell me that's all that you got? Or are you holding back? Where was the strength you used during that Ball Throw yesterday, huh?!"
Izuku gritted his teeth in frustration. 'Come on, Uraraka.' Izuku thought. 'Just stick to the plan and give me the signal.'
Bakugou gritted his teeth at the lack of a response. "Are you ignoring me, Deku?!" He yelled out, snapping the green-suited teen out of his thoughts. "Fine then. I'll give you something to notice me! Since you are such a stalker, then you know how my Quirk, Explosion, works." Bakugou pointed his right gauntlet at Deku. "I secret nitro-glycerin like sweat from my hands and make it blow up. Imagine what I could do if I had a lot of it!"
Izuku's eyes, along with All Might's and Eraserhead's whilst overhearing, widened in horror and alarm. Even Quilava stared at his partner in surprise. "Katsuki! Wait Hold Up!" The Pokémon tried yelling to his partner, who paid his Pokémon no heed.
Bakugou pulled back the metal mechanism connected to his gauntlets, revealing a metal pin. "That's Right." Bakugou said, his eyes widening in maniacal glee as he placed his finger on the pin. "These gauntlets aren't just for show! They have been storing up my sweat for One Monster Blast To Wipe You Off the Face of the Earth!"
'No! He's Going Too Far!' All Might mentally exclaimed. "Young Bakugou! STOP THIS AT ONCE! YOU'LL KILL HIM!"
Aizawa was just about to run out the door before Bakugou exclaimed "HE'LL BE FINE AS LONG HE DODGES!" Bakugou pulled the pin, a massive burst of fire and light shooting outward and heading straight towards the frozen Izuku. "MEGA BLAST BURN!"
'Move!' Izuku mentally told his body as it didn't respond. 'Why can't I move?!'
"YOUNG MIDORIYA! GET OUT OF THERE!" All Might yelled.
"IZUKU!" Serena yelled in horror.
'Is he...really trying to kill me?' Izuku mentally choked out.
Just as the blast neared Izuku, Eevee jumped out of the hall to Izuku's left. "Eevee!" Izuku yelled in shock.
"PROTECT!" Eevee screamed out as he erected a large green bubble around the two as the explosion engulfed them.
The explosion blasted through the building, a large plume of smoke and fire bursting outward.
The students and teachers at the viewing room stumbled at the rumbling from the explosion.
"IZUKU!" Momo, Serena, Mina, and Torru screamed in horror.
"BOSS!" Pikachu cried out.
"THIS IS CRAZY!" Kaminari yelled out.
"COME IN!" All Might yelled into the coms in panic. "COME IN YOUNG MIDORIYA!"
"Enough with This!" Aizawa yelled as he settled the principal to the ground as he ran out the door. "Shut the match down! NOW!"
As the smoke cleared, the once dark maze of halls was destroyed, the remaining floor brightly lit and open as rubble was everywhere. Izuku got up groggily, looking to his right to see a large scorched trail where he and Eevee stood. "That was too close." Izuku muttered as he recalled what happened at the last minute.
He remembered how Eevee's Protect was shielding them from the blast but Izuku quickly noticed that cracks were forming in the bubble. Izuku remembered how he picked Eevee up and dived to his left just as the explosion broke through the shield. "A second too late, and I would have been toast."
Izuku heard coughing. "Eevee!" Izuku yelled as he quickly turned his attention to his partner. The brown Pokémon had a few scorch marks on the end of his tail and his fur look dirtied and scratched but he looked mostly in one piece. "Are you ok?!"
"Y-Yeah." Eevee coughed as he got up. "I'm alright. What about you, Izuku, are you hurt?"
"No, I'm ok." Izuku reassured the Evolution Pokémon. Izuku's suit was scratched and dirtied, his back was slightly singed black but Izuku's back didn't sting too much.
"Hehaha!" Izuku heard maniacal laughter that send a shiver down his and Eevee's spines. They turned to see Bakugou and Quilava walking out of the smoke and rubble, their eyes practically glowing red like demons. "These are Awesome!" Bakugou yelled out in glee. "The more nitro-sweat stored in these babies, the Stronger the Explosion!
"Go On And Fight All You Want, Deku!" Izuku's eyes widened in fear and anger as Bakugou stalked towards him like a monster. "In The End, YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME!"
Over with the viewing party, the students and teachers sighed in relief.
"Oh thank Arceus!" Momo swore in relief, hand over her heart. "He's alright!"
"All Might, sir, you gotta do what Mr. Aizawa says!" Kirishima urged the Symbol of Peace. "That Bakugou guy is going too far! He's Going to Kill Him!"
All Might nodded, but before he spoke a word "Hold on a moment, All Might." The group turned to see that it came from Principal Nezu.
"Sir?!" All Might questioned. "What do you mean?!"
The two received a beep in their earpieces to hear Aizawa's voice call out "Nezu, All Might, Shut the Exercise down now!"
"That won't be necessary, Eraserhead." Nezu replied.
"What?!" Aizawa yelled in shock.
"I say that we continue with the exercise." Nezu said.
"WHAT?!" The group yelled out in pure shock.
"But Sir-"
"I am aware of the dangers All Might, but for my own reasons, we shall allow this fight to continue." Nezu said. "This use of lethal force against a fellow student will Not go unpunished or overlooked, but for now we shall continue with the Training. As a compromise, warn the boy that if he uses those gauntlets once more, the exercise will be shut down and the opposing team will win by default. Do I make myself clear?"
All Might wished nothing more than to argue and shut the exercise at once but the look in Nezu's eyes practically scream that it wasn't a question but a demand. All Might sighed in painful reluctance and nodded before turning to the screen and mic.
The students uneased at the order from the principal. Pikachu wished nothing more than attack the Pokémon-looking principal but was held off by Serena, who looked conflicted.
'I want to stop this madness so bad and go down there and help him,' Serena thought. 'But I can't go against the Principal's orders. Plus, this fight is Izuku's fight, he has to settle this himself. Please be alright, Izu.'
"Come in Bakugou!" Iida yelled through his coms. "Was that you that caused that explosion?! Answer God Dammit!"
Uraraka shook off her worry and looked at the weapon. 'No time to lose.' Uraraka thought. 'I have to trust that Deku's alright. I have to go and get the weapon! If I get it, that means we win, and I can go see if Deku is alright quicker!'
Uraraka rushed forward. Iida noticed and ran towards Uraraka with Lucario in tow. "Not So Fast Hero!" He yelled in his renewed Villain voice.
"Minnie! Use Rock Tomb!" Uraraka called out.
Minnie responded by glowing white before creating and firing whitish-blue rocks. They collided at Iida and Lucario's path, around the middle of the room, the rocks sprouting out and enlarging as large boulders that blocked their path.
Iida gritted his teeth before firing up his engines. He yelled "Lucario! Break Through! Power-Up-Punch!"
Lucario's fist glowed orange with a red glow. Iida and Lucario jumped towards the rock, Iida swinging his left leg in a engine-powered kick and Lucario with Power-Up-Punch. They struck the boulders and smashed through to rush at Uraraka...only for Uraraka to be above them, flying past them.
'Just one touch of the weapon, and this will all be over!' Uraraka thought as she sailed through the air.
"Since when can she make herself float?!" Iida questioned.
"Minnie! Give me a boost!" Uraraka called. Minnie shot towards Uraraka, pushing Uraraka through her back and speeding her way to the weapon.
"Oh no!" Iida yelled out. "Lucario! Shadow Ball at Minior!" Iida sped his way towards the weapon as Lucario built up an orb of sinister purple energy and fired it at the Pokémon. The Meteor Pokémon noticed the incoming attack and dodged out of the way, the attack sailing past it while Uraraka continued flying towards the weapon.
Close to the weapon, Uraraka tapped her finger pads together and yelled "Release!" Uraraka began to fall downwards towards the weapon. 'Almost There!'
But just before she reached it, Iida appeared and sped away with the weapon, Uraraka flying to the ground before tumbling towards the wall in a groan, her helmet falling out.
"Ow!" Uraraka groaned.
"Dwwwaaahhh!" Minior cried as it flew towards her worried.
"Ugh, I'm alright Minnie." Uraraka eased her Pokémon
"MWAHAHAHAHA!" Iida laughed villainously. "Nice Try, Hero! While I admire your attempt, ultimately it was no good! I can easily keep this weapon out of your reach until time runs out!"
The timer on the weapon was now at 3 minutes and counting.
Uraraka got up and wiped her cheek. "Its not over yet. I won't let you down, Deku."
"What's the matter?!" Bakugou taunted. "Are you scared?! Get Up and Fight Back, Deku, So I Can Put You Down For Good!"
Izuku growled in frustration. 'Those gauntlets allow him to fight at long range too, and Quilava's long range attack will be even more difficult for me and Eevee to dodge. So what do I do? Come on Izuku, think!'
"Uraraka!" Izuku said to his coms. "What's the situation?"
"Deku!" Uraraka cried out. "Thank Arceus you're alright! Its not looking good! Iida is keeping the weapon away with his super speed and his Lucario is keeping me and Minnie away with his long range attacks."
Bakugou's eyes twitched. "You're ignoring me again?! I'll Get Your Attention! Another Blast Should Put You and That Runt To Ashes!"
"Bakugou!" The explosive teen heard All Might's voice through the coms. "Use That Stored Up Power Again And I'll End The Match! Your Team Will Lose!"
"What?!" Bakugou cried out in anger.
"I Warned You That Deadly Force Would NOT be Permitted!" All Might repeated himself. "Not only is such an attack a poor strategy in defending the weapon you should be protecting, but a violation of my Warning! Use it Again and I'll Fail you and your Team and grant the victory to the Heroes!"
Bakugou gritted his teeth so hard that Quilava thought that they were going to shatter. Bakugou finally roared in anger and frustration.
"Just get him into the center!" Izuku continued speaking to Uraraka. "Signal me when-"FINE THEN!" Izuku was cut off by a furious Bakugou as he raced towards him with Quilava in tow. "WE'LL FIGHT HAND TO HAND! QUILAVA FINISH THAT PEST!"
"Eevee! You know what to do! Go!" Izuku ordered, Eevee nodding before jumping away to fight the Volcano Pokémon.
Izuku activated Full Cowling and drew his feet back in a stance, only for the ground beneath him to crack and shatter, causing Izuku to stumble. Bakugou noticed and shot towards Deku quickly. 'Shit! No Good!' Izuku cursed. 'I'll have to counterattack quickly!' Izuku readied his fist and threw a punch towards the incoming explosive teen. Bakugou fired an explosion in front of him, blinding Izuku in smoke while vaulting over in mid-air using his explosion till he was behind Deku. He fired an explosion from his right hand to blast himself towards Deku before firing an explosion from his left hand onto Deku's back, the green teen shouting in pain.
"Woah, What was that?!" Mina cried out in question.
"He doesn't come off as forward-thinking or a guy with a plan, but he is actually rather intelligent." Todoroki said.
"What do you mean?" Kirishima asked.
"He used that first explosion as to vault himself over and change his trajectory while in mid-air whilst blinding Midoriya with the explosion's smoke." Todoroki explained. "He changed his trajectory to get behind Midoriya, used that second explosion to launch him closer to him, and use a final one to attack at his unguarded back."
"While I hate to admit it, Todoroki's right." Momo said. "To perform that maneuver and feint attack, he would have to have an extreme amount of precision, calculating the physics and show great control over his Quirk. He may be a aggressive and violent, but he is talented."
Quilava chased after Eevee firing Flamethrowers and Embers at him, while Eevee dodges and obscured his vision with Sand Attack. Quilava flinched as the paralysis kick in. Eevee saw this and attacked, his tail glowing white and he slashed and fired Swift at him. Quilava shook it off and quickly counterattacked by firing Ember, the fiery bolts of sparks colliding and destroying the stars in a burst of smoke.
Quilava quickly jumped towards Eevee with Quick Attack, slamming onto the mid-air Pokemon and used Bite on him, Eevee crying out in pain as it tossed him over to the ground, the Evolution Pokémon tumbling before getting up groggily. Eevee only had a second of rest before jumping out of the way of Quilava and continuing to run from him.
Meanwhile, Uraraka rushed at Iida while calling out to her Minior "Minnie, Ancient Power!" Minnie glowed purple as it manifested large rocks with fossils and glowing purple before firing it on Lucario.
"Lucario, Metal Claw to destroy them, then strike back with Force Palm!" Iida said as he sped away from an incoming Uraraka. Lucario took head, his paws erecting glowing white claws and slashing away at the rocks while rushing towards Minior. Lucario suddenly vanished from sight, Minnie looking around in confusion only for Lucario to appear behind it and place its open palm on its back. The palm glowed in fiery blue aura before blasting forth an explosion of blue flames that blasted the Meteor Pokémon forwards.
Minnie slowed before coming to a stop mid-air, its rocky shell cracking as it stood by a frustrated Uraraka.
"Here it comes, Nerd!" Bakugou yelled as he rushed forward. "That famous right hook you were talking about!" Bakugou struck Deku's side with his arm through the hard gauntlet, stunning Izuku before grabbing him and spinning around, using his explosion as a boost. "Deku! Don't You Ever Forget What You Are! A Weakling For Me To Squash!" Bakugou slammed Deku into the floor hard, Deku crying out in pain.
"This is hard to watch!" Torru said as she covered her eyes.
"Yeah, all he has to do is capture him, not kill him!" Mina yelled.
Serena's hands were so tightly gripped that they were turning white, her normally sweet, kind eyes flaring in hatred towards the explosive teen like never before.
Pikachu growled in anger, his cheeks sparking in electricity. "Come on Boss! Fight Back!"
Izuku was blasted back by another explosion and struggled to get back up. 'He's not giving me any time to think or fight back. Maybe I can't really beat him. He's just too strong. Like always.' His mind flashed back to all the times in their childhood that Bakugou bested him at everything. Sports, Friends, Pokémon Battles, everything. 'Why? Why is this world so unfair and cruel? Can I really do anything right?'
Suddenly, he heard Pikachu's voice in his head "Come on Boss! Fight Back! Stop With this Self-Loathing and Complaining Bullshit! Me and the girls are Rooting For You! So Get Up And Fight Back!"
Izuku froze. 'You're right.' Izuku thought back. 'What am I doing? Complaining now?'
"Life is full of unfairness. Its a Hero's job to try and combat that unfairness."
'Mr. Aizawa's right. Its not a Hero's Job to whine and give in.' Izuku thought as his hand gripped the floor. 'Its to Get Back Up and Fight!'
"You are truly talented and worthy to be here." Momo said. "And we are honored to be your friends."
"Screw them." Serena said. "You never gave up on your dream and goal, and you are here, where you belong."
'Momo, Uraraka, Torru, Mina, Serena, All Might are rooting for me.' Izuku groggily lifted himself up. 'I can't let them down!'
"Screw the haters that say you are useless." Pikachu said. "You aren't. We got your back and you ours. That's all that matters."
"My thoughts exactly." Eevee said.
Izuku looked up to see Eevee still fighting against Quilava, peering over to me, his eyes saying all the word he needed to here.
'Get! UP!'
"That is where you belong, Deku!" Bakugou roared out. "A worthless Bug For Me To Squash AND A USELESS WASTE OF SP-"
"Shut! The Hell! UP!" Izuku roared out as his body sparked in green lightning and rushed towards Bakugou.
Bakugou gritted his teeth in rage before rushing in himself. "YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Bakugou brought his hand back to fire a final explosion. Just as Izuku was in front of him, Bakugou fired point blank at Izuku, covering the teen's body in smoke.
Just as Bakugou smiled in victory, Izuku rushed from below the explosion, ducking from the attack gripped onto Bakugou, his left arm around his waist and his right over Bakugou's left neckline. 'Notebook 13, Page 30! All Might's Machamp!' Bakugou's eyes widened. 'Against a stronger opponent, wait until the opponent strikes with a jab and then duck at the last second, grabbing him in a lock.' Izuku's eyes flared with lightning. 'AND SLAM DOWN!' Izuku slammed Bakugou down into the ground hard.
The students gasped in shock at the maneuver. The girls and Pikachu's eyes brighten and smiled at Izuku fighting back. All Might smiled wide.
Bakugou regained his composure and struggled to get free. Izuku countered by rolling and tossing Bakugou off of him with a kick. The explosive teen rolled before skidding to a stop, but just before he could rush back, Izuku was on him and slammed a Full Cowling fist to his face that knocked him back.
"Alright!" Mina cheered. "Midori's fighting back!"
"Not that's the stuff!" Kirishima yelled. "I got to get him to teach me that move! That was so Manly!"
"Yeah me too!"
"Mess Him Up Boss!" Pikachu cheered.
Bakugou crashed into the nearly wrecked wall behind him before dodging out of another punch from Deku, this one going straight through the wall. Bakugou looked into Deku's eyes, eyes that glowed green with strength and anger. Bakugou found his heart stirring with the emotion that he always had towards Deku when he said he would be a Hero. Fear.
Bakugou growled in anger as he beat down the emotion and rushed towards Deku, the green teen dodging as he removed his hand from the wall. Bakugou gave chase to Izuku as he bounced from wall to roof to floor like an electrified Buneary. Deku jumped from the left wall of the room to the left of the middle of the room, where Izuku felt a large, thin plate of the floor bend, catching Izuku's attention. He quickly brought his attention back to Bakugou and jumped upwards to avoid an explosion. Bakugou blasted upwards and fire another explosion only for Deku to quickly jumped down from the roof, the unstable roof cracking slightly.
Eevee, invigored by his trainer's counterattack, struck back firing another wave of Swift. Quilava responded once again by firing Ember, destroying the stars, but was suddenly slammed into by Eevee using Quick Attack. Quilava was pushed back and tried to counterattack but flinched in paralysis. Eevee hammered onto the Volcano Pokémon with another Swift, this time the stars pelting the paralyzed Pokémon, it flinching as it was struck.
Quilava broke free of his paralysis and fired a Flamethrower at Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon shielding itself with Protect. As the fire dissipated, Eevee quickly struck back, his body glowing slightly white as it slammed into Quilava. "Take Down!" Quilava cried out in pain as it was pushed back, with Eevee flinching at the recoil damage. Eevee looked at Izuku, who peered at him with a determined expression. Izuku suddenly held a tiny rock in his hand and tossed it over to his left. Eevee followed where the rock landed and his eyes lit up in realization.
A top with Uraraka and Iida, Iida once again sped away from Uraraka, yelling to Lucario "Lucario! Knock It Away with Brick Break!"
"Minnie, Meet it With Zen Headbutt!" Uraraka cried out.
The two Pokémon clashed, one with glowing white fist, while the other smashed head on with its front glowing violet purple. The two pushed back hard but Lucario having the greater Attack strength pushed the Meteor Pokémon back, its shell finally breaking apart, revealing its pink Core form.
"Are you ok, Minnie?!" Uraraka asked her Pokémon, who replied with a nod. Uraraka looked back at Lucario to where she realized where he was standing. The remains of Rock Tomb. At the center of the room.
Izuku slammed his knee into Bakugou's gut, the ash-blonde teen coughing in pain before growling, grabbing Izuku's leg and flinging him away to the other end of the room.
Deku got up, panting, as he suddenly heard Uraraka through the coms. "Deku, Lucario is in the center!"
"Alright, keep him there and stay where you are for when I give the signal." Deku whispered back.
"Got it." Uraraka replied. "Minnie! Fire Onto Lucario With Rock Tomb!"
The Meteor Pokémon complied by unleashing a barrage of Rock Tombs.
Iida noticed the greater amount and power. 'Of course.' Iida mentally mused. 'Minior's have the ability Shield Down, where they become more aggressive and stronger in attacking when their outer shell is destroyed. I got to keep them their until time runs out.' "Lucario! Break Them Down With Bullet Punch!"
Lucario roared as his fists became covered in metallic shine as he unleashed his own barrage of super fast metal punches, breaking down the Rock Tombs as they connected.
Back with Izuku and Bakugou, Bakugou stalked towards Deku yelling "You've had a Quirk. This entire time, You've had a Quirk! Why'd You Hide It?!" Izuku was silent, which made Bakugou growl in rage. "Late Bloomer My Ass, You've Been Hiding It This Whole Time! Laughing Behind My Back For Years! Thinking You Were Better Than Me The Entire Time!"
Izuku's eyes widened, memories of the past flashing in his mind. "That's what you though?" Izuku asked. "You...You Idiot! I Was Never Lying Nor Did I Ever Saw You As Weak! You Were Always Better Than Me, Bakugou! And That's Why," Deku's body started sparking again with Full Cowling. "I WANTED TO BEAT YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE AMAZING!"
"You're An Even Bigger Idiot Than I Thought If You Ever Thought That Would Ever Happen!" Bakugou roared back, his palms alight and sparking. "SO COME AT ME!"
Quilava and Eevee faced each other panting, Eevee right behind where Bakugou and Deku were.
"Why?" Quilava groaned. "Why won't you just Stay Down?!"
"Because, Izuku is counting on me." Eevee said. "And I won't let Him Down!"
At the same time the four charged at each other, as time seemed to slow. Meanwhile, the students watching were begging at All Might and Nezu to end the fight, claiming that they were going to kill each other. All Might gripped the pedestal and continued to watch. 'I think...I think I now see why you wanted this match to continue, Nezu.' All Might thought as he peered at the Principal of U.A., who stared at the screen with a neutral expression. 'The only time he ever talk like that, when he acts like that, is when he is focused only on being a Hero no matter the cost.'
Izuku roared as he charged, cocking his right arm, green lightning sparking wildly as his veins glowed red in power. Bakugou too roared, his own right arm smoking and bright hot red for an explosion.
Quilava raced towards Eevee, jumping before flipping into a roll, the fire of on his head and tail growing as it charged with Flame Wheel. Eevee meanwhile charged too.
'He is facing all the pain and torment throughout his years in this fight.' All Might continued. 'To strike back against the past and the jeers. You wanted to have him let go of the past, so as to move forward, didn't you Nezu? But still...'
The four roared as they were about to clash.
"Sir! Please!" Serena yelled in desperation.
All Might gritted his teeth before he grabbed the mic and yelled "BOTH OF YOU STOP THIS NOW!"
"URARAKA NOW!" Izuku yelled.
All Might was taken back and looked at the screen with Uraraka and Iida.
"Got it!" Uraraka said as she hugged the pillar next to her, confusing Iida and Lucario.
'I'm not ready.' Izuku thought. 'I'm not strong enough to fight you one on one yet! But that Doesn't Mean THAT I WON'T WIN!'
"NOW!" Eevee yelled as he slammed his tail on the loose plate, Quilava, who was at the other end, catapulted into the air.
Right above Deku and Bakugou.
"DETROIT SMASH!" Deku screamed as he was blasted by Bakugou's explosion and he struck too. Just not at Bakugou. But the air next to him.
Bakugou gasped in realization as a burst of powerful air pressure blasted through the rood and the rest of the building floor by floor, Quilava with it. Quilava, still rolling uncontrollably with Flame Wheel, crashed through floor after floor, rubble after rubble, until it collided with something that put a stop in its tracks. Lucario.
Quilava slammed into the shocked Lucario's stomach, just below his chest spike, the Aura Pokémon roaring in pain at the super effective and critical hit.
Iida who held onto dear life on the weapon looked agape in shock at the sight of the middle of the room destroyed, a gale of wind pressure shooting up and Lucario slammed into by Bakugou's Quilava. "What's Happening?!" He screamed.
Uraraka, clutching onto a broken, weightless pillar screamed "MINNIE NOW! GRAVITY ON LUCARIO AND QUILAVA!"
Minnie cried out as it glowed bright pinkish-purple, the same glow appearing on the two Pokémon as they suddenly shot down the newly made hole like a bullet. "LUCARIO!" Iida yelled out.
"This Is It! Sorry Iida!" Uraraka shouted out. "IMPROVISED SPECIAL MOVE! COMET HOMERUN!"
Uraraka swiped the pillar onto the weightless rubble and rocks that were flung straight towards Iida.
"IN THE NAME OF VILLAINY, I DEMAND THAT YOU STOP THIS!" Iida screamed as he was pelted by rocks and debris. But as he was pelted, he was unaware of Uraraka, weightless and glowing pinkish-purple through Minnie's Psychic pushing her, flying past him.
"AND RELEASE!" Uraraka yelled as she clasped her finger pads together. She floated down and landed onto the weapon. "I GOT IT!"
The weapon's timer stopped at 0:01.
"NO! THE WEAPON! Iida yelled in horror.
Bakugou looked agape at Izuku, his right arm purple while the other burnt and bruised. "De-"
Izuku looked straight at him, eyes alight in green lightning and, Bakugou swore for just a millisecond, a flash of blue. Deku quickly stepped back, spun on his heel and spun around, All Might gaping as for a moment he saw Cinderace in Izuku's place.
'I WILL WIN! AND I WILL BEAT YOU!' Izuku mentally roared, his right leg stuck out and alight in green lightning and a slight halo of blue.
Just as Lucario and Quilava, falling fast, reached them, Izuku swung his leg in a roundhouse kick.
"6% FULL COWLING! WASHINGTON SMASH!"
Deku's leg struck Lucario and Quilava, sending them flying towards the stunned Bakugou and all three crashing into the wall behind them.
Deku panted hard, slouched as he his injured and broken arms hanged limp by his side, barely able to stand as his right leg was likely sprained. Deku looked towards Bakugou, where he and the two Pokémon laid limp, all three in the rubble of the wall, unconscious.
Izuku looked towards a tired Eevee to his left. Izuku smiled wide and slowly, but surely, raised his left arm, fist clenched, up high in victory.
The student's mouths were agape in shock and awe, barely believing what they had just seen. Serena, Momo, Mina, and Torru smiled wide and bright, blushes on their faces. Pikachu was jumping and sticking his arms up in cheer. Nezu smiled wide and knowingly.
All Might smiled wide, his eyebrows raised high. "You...You did it!" All Might whispered in awe and pride.
Izuku fell down, the last thing he would hear before he fell into unconsciousness himself was four words.
"The Hero Team...WINS!"
AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD SCENE! BOOM! HAPPY LATE THANKSGIVING, EARLY CHRISTMAN PRESENT FOLKS! Deku and Uraraka win, Bakugou is unconscious by Deku, Iida is crying out in horror like a Villain, and Deku has probably earned the respect and awe of his classmates. And probably made a certain pair of girls swoon.
This has been my longest and most worked on fight scene that I have Ever written in a fanfiction story, so I truly hope you guys loved this! I worked hard on keeping to the canon while adding in the Pokémon and their fights, a change in Deku's plan in coordination with his new skills and Pokémon, and Deku fighting back against Bakugou some more in an epic even match. And some flashbacks and sprinkle of mystery along the way.
And for the record, because I'm sure I'm going to get this from some people, I Am Not Attempting to Bash Bakugou...well maybe a little, but only as payback and retribution against his bullying and because Bakugou before all the character development, that people constantly point out when it comes to him to justify or excuse his asshole-ish behavior, and at the beginning of the story of MHA was a complete utter douche that didn't deserve any redemption, at least then. And if you are pissed off about it, well he ain't out of the word work. Just wait till next chapter and the Sports Festival.
Now I will be explaining the reasons why I gave Iida a Lucario and Uraraka a Minior. For Uraraka, I say that a Minior was the perfect choice. It flies and floats around like her Zero Gravity, its space themed like Uraraka, its a living comet for the girl with the Comet Homerun, and I found that its Pink Core Form would be a perfect adorable Pokémon for Uraraka to have that was also cool.
As for Iida and Lucario, they are both stubborn looking and stone-faced, Lucario's Steel and Fighting Type sounds about perfect for Iida who is dressed in armor like a knight and fights normally in hand to hand combat, and Lucario is wicked fast, especially using Extremespeed and his Steadfast Special Ability. These aren't the only Pokémon the two will have as more will be revealed and caught later.
Also as a little bonus fact, that grapple that Izuku used on Bakugou was in reference to Attack on Titan, which I am have recently been watching and catching up on, where Eren grappled the Armored Titan. Love that show! And finally, that new move, Washington Smash, was based on Cinderace using Pyro Ball and was named after the state of Washington, the soccer-friendliest state in the union and home to the Seattle Sounders, the most popular and successful soccer team in America.
Now with that all said, gee I wonder what Pokémon little Izuku encountered I saw sarcastically, how did Izuku know about Lucario, what shit has Bakugou landed in with the teachers, and as always, I hope you liked the chapter, leave your thoughts and potential ideas in the reviews, check out my other stories if you want, and keep each other safe and healthy in these trying times.
This has been Zayden StormVoid and I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
