Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 56: Enter Heroine Chapel
Location: Dominion of Shadows-Outside Abandoned Pokemon Center
Chapel's POV
"Don't worry. I understand very well." It was a boy with a gladiator mohawk hairstyle about to fight a burly bald man in a Neo Snagem uniform. The boy was riding a Rapidash. "It's simple: Team Neo Snagem won't stop until they have the head of the boy with the dark aura. But to tell the truth, the guy who was murdered had it coming. We of Johto Region's Restoration Committeee won't just stand helplessly and be pushed around by Neo Snagem anymore! We will fight for our right to live! Rapidash, charge!"
The Rapidash then proceeded to pursue the burly bald Neo Snagem member. However, the bald man remained calm, closing his eyes as he said "Intercept the target..."
"Saur!" The Rapidash was tripped up by a vine launched by a Venasaur that was just released by the bald man. Rapidash fell to the ground, along with the gladiator mohawked boy.
"Leader of Johto Region's Restoration Committee- Kashius Kleigh! This is the nd for you!" The bald man announced. "Venasaur, finish him, now!"
"Vena saaauurr..."
"No!" That Venasaur was preparing to launch a Hyper Beam. And that 'Kashius Kleigh' was downed. I've gotta save that guy. And so, without word, I ran toward the boy as the Hyper Beam was launched, unsure if even I'LL escape unharmed. Eeven so, I can't just stand by and watch someone die. I have to take action. Enter: Heroine Chapel!
Heroine Chapel was exactly who I was as I tackled a downed Kashius Kleigh away from the path of Venasuar's Hyper Beam.
"Saur?" Vensaur cried confused as Hyper Beam was avoided.
"What? What happened?" The bald man questioned, as he then layed his eyes on the sight of Kashius kleigh being held by eme. "Who are you?!"
"Y-yes." Kashius added as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. "Who are you?" He began to help himself up. "Why did you save me?"
"My name is Heroine Chapel, and I..." I started as I then stood up to face the bald Neo Snagem member and his Venasaur. "I've come to save the entire world from Team Neo Snagem!"
"Y-you want to save the world?" Kashius parroted.
"Here." Without turning away from Venasaur, I tossed a Sitrus Berry back to Kashius. "Treat Rapidash for me. We're going to need all the help we can get if we wish to win this fight."
"Stupid little girl. You won't even be able to help yourself. Opposing Neo Snagem, speaking out against Neo Snagem...Yes, I'm sure Commander Zero will promote me to Commander after I have your head." The bald man said.
I gasped. "Death threats?"
"We must kill him before he kills us." Kashius said.
I closed my eyes, wincing at just the thought of killing another human being. Will I be no better than the organization that killed my mother Chiyo? No...I had no problem saying that I would kill the duo that killed my mother five years ago. And if the man that stands as my opponent is ready to kill, then he should be ready to BE killed as well.
"Fine, if that's how you want to play-" I pulled out a single pokeball. Staring at Venasaur, I threw the pokeball as I called "Ursaring!"
"An Ursaring?" Kashius questioned ,"How unexpected."
"I suppose looks can be deceiving." The bald man started, "A little girl with a buff pokemon like Ursaring? I guess you're not as helpless as you look."
Helpless little girl...The 'helpless little girl' inside me is long gone, and has been for five years.
"I won't make the mistake of underestimating you, just so you know. Perhaps you'll be more of a challenge than Kashius." The bald man said.
"Me?" I questioned. "Don't you mean US?"
"Us?" The bald man repeated confused.
"Do you really think I'd hold anything back, or even fight fair when my life is on the line?" i asked as Chime, Eevee, Mawile, Missingno, and the healed Rapidash all stepped up to the bald man and his Venasaur. They were all in their battle stances.
Upon hearing my words and seeing the pokemon's actions, a worried expression was put on the bald man's face.
"What's wrong? Do you not have any pokemon besides Venasaur?" I asked. "Of course, you COULD jus tsummon reinforcements from within the many members of Neo Snagem riotting right now, but they seem to have their hands full will the minority right now." He did not say anything. The only thing that the bald man could do was stare down his opponents and hope that somehow he and Venasaur would emerge victorious. "Everyone, attack!"
And with that, all the pokemon, led by Ursaring, proceeded toward Venasaur, as Venasaur braced itself in a defensive stance.
"Venasaur!" The bald man called.
"Uuuaarr!" Ursaring was beginning to close in on Venasaur with his hands cloaked in a Hammer Arm aura.
"Saur!" But before he could land a strike on Venasaur, Venasaur instinctively use Vine Whip to bind ursaring's arms. Hammer Arm's cloak faded, the attack was cancelled out, and Ursaring was stopped in it's tracks.
"Aaarr!" Venasaur's hold over Ursaring would fail to last as Venasaur was struck by an unforeseen Flare Blitz, courtesy of Rapidash.
"Why you..." The bald man was scolding Rapidash.
"Saur!" Venasaur was knocked on the ground, and wasn't allowed the reaction time for our next assault.
"Maw!" Mawile, who was on Rapidash's back, on holding on despite Flare Blitz, had hopped of Rapidash and started falling toward Venasaur with a diving Power-Up Punch. "Wile!"
"Aaar!" Venasaur was hit right on the face by Mawile. Sure the damage was minimal, but the amount of times Mawile boosts her attack with Power-Up Punch would eventually add up.
"Ee vee!"
"Chime!" Following Mawile's diving Power-Up Punch, Chime and Eevee also charged after Venasaur. Eevee was able to land a swiflty executed Quick Attack, but unfortunately-
"-Chime! Chime!" Venasaur was able to take Eevee's Quick Attack pretty well, and was able to react in time for it to launch a Vine Whipe at Chime, wrapping the Psychic type who was desperately trying to break away.
"Chime, no!" I yelled as I then turned to Ursaring and Rapidash. "Hurry, get Chime!"
They both gave me a nod and started toward Venasaur again.
"Venasaur, stop them!" The bald man commanded.
And at the man's command, Venasaur did exactly that as it let out a familiar golden powder I believed to be Stun Spore. Ursaring and Rapidash couldn't react in time to avoid the powder, and thus they, along with a trapped Chime, were all paralyzed.
"Mawile! Eevee!" It was hard to believe, but the fight was actually starting to tip in the favor of Venasaur as Chime, Ursaring, and Rapidash were all unable to move.
It was up to Mawile and Eevee now to stop Venasaur as they each charged in one more time.
"Vee!" Eevee was going in just ahead of Mawile, but charging in head to head would prove to be a bad idea when-
"Saauurr!" Venasaur had countered Eevee with a headbutt of it's own, sending Eevee flying back at high speed.
"Eevee!" I called as Eevee came flying into my arms with about as much impact as catching a bullet pass. "Oh." Catching Eevee had actually caused me to fall on my bottom. I called out her name, but Eevee was burying her face in my stomach, probably in fear of Venasaur.
"Wile..." Mawile had just witnessed what Venasaur did to Eevee, and a hint of hesitation started to surface. She stared down the Venasaur that defeated Ursaring, Rapidash, Eevee, AND a Chime that was still within the grasp of Vine Whip. "Wile..." Looking at her fallen allies, Mawile abruptly halted her charge.
"Seems to me like it's just one on one now." The bald man said as the pace of the battle was beginning to slow down. "What's wrong?" The bald man asked Mawile. "Is there a hint of doubt stirring up from within you? If you and your friends couldn't take me five on one, I wouldn't be suprised if you don't think you'd be able to defeat me by yourself."
"Maw..." Mawile stared down the bald haired man. "Wile!" She then brought her attention back to Venasaur as she cloaked her fists in the Power-Up Punch aura, preparing for whatever Venasaur was going to use to strike next.
"Suar!" Venasaur yelled at Mawile, while in it's own battle stance.
"Oh, but before we continue, you can have this 'thing' back." The bald man said while pointing to a trapped Chime. "It might get in our way." Venasaur didn't toss Chime. No, it launched Chime, once again, like a bullet pass.
"Don't worry!" Kashius Kleigh said as he then proceeded to spectacularly catch a flying Chime, impact sending him to the ground.
"Hnhnhmhm." The bald man was chuckling as he stared down a Mawile who was still staring at Venasaur with narrowed eyes. "Now Venasaur, I command you...finish them!"
"Saauurr!" Venasaur was preparing another Hyper Beam!
Even with a type resistance, Mawile was in some serious trouble.
"Mawile, move out of the way!" Kashius yelled.
"Wile!" Mawile was able to do what Kashius commanded...But, "Ma?" Venasaur had not launched Hyper Beam yet, and simply switched it's aim to where Mawile was NOW. Repeatedly, Mawile kept moving, but Venasaur's aim followed closely everytime she move until. "Aaa!" Mawile had tripped, and was it prime position for Venasaur to deal extensive damage.
"Vena...Saauur!" Hyper Beam was launched, and none of us were able to react in time...
"No..." I said as Venasaur's attack caused an explosion. It was too late. What has become of Mawile? "...Is it all over?"
Is it all over?...My question mark would come with an answer as the smoke would clear up, revealing to us all...
"...Stop..." Revealing to us a Missingno who was completely irrelevant up until this point in the fight. "Surrender, or I'll finish you both right now." Missingno told Venasaur and the bald man.
Missingno had completely protected from Hyper Beam a Mawile who was still wincing, expecting to be injured by the attack.
"Mawile?" Opening her eyes, she too saw the dual question mark-horned virus addressing our opponents.
"Missingno! What are you doing? You're not supposed to be outside of my heart when other people are around." I had thought that Missingno returned to my heart after we left Ecruteak's abandoned Pokemon Center. I apparently thought wrong...
"Missingno?" Both Kashius and the bald man replied confused djust before Missingno had a chance to reply.
"No, Chapel. No more." Missingno started. "I appreciate taking rest in your heart for the last five years. But that all ends here. I can't hide from Neo Snagem forever. The half of me that had been inside the PC no longer wants to live in solitude. I will let this world know that I will fix everything I have caused. In the end, we won't be friends forever when I go away. But for now, together, we will put an end to the world's virus version!"
"Clap! Clap! What a touching speech!"
""Huh?" Whoever said tha wasn't me Kashius, OR the bald man. We and the pokemon started looking around to find where the voice was.
"Bravo! Bravo!" There it was again. This time with actuall clapping rather than just saying the word twice.
"Hmm..." The clapping sounded like it was incoming from above. And so we all looked up to the dark grey sky to see a man being landed on the roof of a small building next to us by...a steel coated bird?
That man...the brown haired man wearing the generic Neo Snagem uniform while holding a Nintendo 3DS in his hand...No doubt. It was Neo Snagem's Commander 24!
"YOU!" I called out.
"Hmph." 24 looked at me. "Do you know who I am or something? Arceus knows I haven't the slightest clue who you are, despite the fact that I've been ordered to capture you and that motivational speaker of a Missing Number you've got there." He was sent to capture Missingno and I? "However, I HAVE heard gossip about you from Neo Snagem's pirmary commanders, so I guess I can only fault myself for not knowing who yo-"
"Okay! Okay! I get it! You DO know you ramble alot, right?" Seriously, this guy is 'Yumi bad' when it comes to rambling.
"Well, from what I hear, you DO know you ask alot of questions, right?" 24 was mocking me with my own question.
"Ask alot of questions? Here's another question. "Wait, how do you know that about me?"
"It's called Pokemon Viruse Version, on this site called Fanfiction." 24 was using the internet browser on his 3DS. "This fanfic is long though. I'm on chapter 56 right now. I wonder how Chapel will do now that Commander 24 has appeared? I DO have a few complaints about this fic though. Seth is just a watered down Lelouche, Yumi is Tabby, and Rose is just a straight up Shinku ripoff."
You've gotta be kidding me.
"Anyways, if you really want for me to stop rambling, so be it. But before you proceed to attack me, you've some unfinished buisness, I see." 24 said, facing the bald man and his Venasaur. "Missingno, finish him!"
"C-commander!" The bald man was shocked by 24's words. "What're you doing? Your mission is to capture the virus and the girl I just so happen to be battling! Just who's side are you on? Aren't you going to help me take these fools down?!"
"What'll happen if I say no?" 24 shot back with another question. "To be honest, I won't give a crap when the virus defeats you pretty soon. And why should?"
"24?!"
"The end is near for you." 24 said as he then looked at me. "Chapel!" That was our cue to finish Venasaur while we were given the chance.
"Missingno!" As I called Missingno's name, Missingno slowly floated to Venasaur, without worry of whether or not Venasaur would attack.
"Are you kidding me?" Looking at a calm Missingno, the bald man snickered. "And here I thought you were a charging threat. Venasaur, full power Hyper Beam!"
"Vena-" Venasaur wasn't wasting time. "Saur!" It launched Hyper Beam without hesitation.
"...You underestimate me, and overestimate yourself at the same time..." Missingno uttered in the tone of the PC before Hyper Beam had seemingly hit him. The virus didn't even bother dodging.
This Missingno, with it's whole being in one piece...this Missingno wasn't the same as the one before. The virus looked as if he knew what it was doing. It remained calm and sure, which is why Kasius, the pokemon, and I didn't even bother to question what became of Missingno.
And as soon as the smoke cleared...
"Huh? It can be!" The bald man was astonished as Missingno once again, was shown to have remained unharmed.
"You already tried Hyper Beam once before and failed." Missingno started. "What made you think that Hyper Beam would work THIS time?" The virus had both the bald man and Venasaur caught off guard. Venasaur needed time to recharge, and now tere was nothing keeping Missingno from taking action as it's pace floating toward Venasaur started to become fast.
"Sa-a-a..." Once Missingno made contact with Venasaur, Venasaur started to glow a blue aura, while the color of it's skin became a sapphire color. It's flower became a purplish magenta scheme, and asa soon as Missingno pulled away from Venasaur...
"What the?!" Kashius was just as shocked as I to see Venasaur pixilate for a split second before falling to the ground unconscious as it returned to it's normal color. "Missingno, what did you just do to it?"
"This man and his Venasaur are finished." Missingno said as it turned it's back and started floating back toward us.
"No...I will not fall this way!" The bald man said as he then started toward Missingo, fists clenched.
"Missingno, watch out!"
The man's moment of running felt slow, and in my mind, that moment dragged on. That was until he was addressed by 24.
"Lay one finger on the missing number, and I'll be sure you regret it." 24 said while still on the roof of the small building, Skarmory roosting right next to him. "Apparently, my prediction about Missingno defeating you came true. I've already watched you fail,now it's my turn."
With Ursaring, Rapidash, and Chime all unable to move, and Eevee down for the count, 24 was expected to have the advantage over our depleted party. And I knew very well that 24, a commander, wasn't going to underestimate the weakened opponent in us all. Missingno, Mawile...
"Wile!" Mawile rushed to right in front of 24 and Skarmory as they looked down to her from the roof of the small building. "Wile! Mawile!"
"Skarr." And judging from Seth's memories that I have, this was the Skarmory captured by 24 back in Dark Cave. Skarmory gave Mawile a suprised look in response to crossing paths with it's former leader in the deceiver Pokemon.
"Well it appears you two know each other!" 24 said to Mawile. "How about I craash in on your 'little' reunion." 24 then motioned for Skarmory to take off with him, this time landing just in front of the downed Venasaur. "But before we begin, I have some things to say. Chapel! Missingno! You two have really made things difficult for Neo Snagem. I mean, because of Wes NOT capturing you, we're all forced to just sit and wait for you to give up on finding Celebi so that we finally CAN capture you. I don't even think a pokemon like Celebi exists, and Neo Snagem is sick of waiting for nothing! But the waiting will finally end here. And fo rthe 24th ranked Commander of this organization, you will repay your debt!"
To Be Continued...
Won't be as much Author Notes for the chapters being posted this week, but as promised, I will post rival teams. Pokemon names followed by their gender, then ability.
Oh, and there are ALOT of rivals
Noah's Party
Quilava- Male, Blaze
Weavile- Male, Pressure
Vibrava- Female, Levitate
Larvitar- Female, Guts (Recently obtained offscreen)
...
Dustin's Party
Croconaw- Male, Torrent
Staravia- Male, Intimidate
Gurdurr- Male, Guts
Zangoose- Male, Immunity
Sableye- Male, Prankster (offscreen)
Alright, I know that all of Dustin's Pokemon are male, and the reason for that is ALL the way back in chapter 1, Dustin DID in fact make sexist remarks towards females, so I've characterized Dustin to have the most masculine pokemon team out of all the major characters.
...
Pheobe's Party
Mismagius- Female, Levitate
Zoroark- Female, Illusion
Frogadier- Male, Protein
Shedinja- Genderless, Wonder Guard (offscreen)
Dedenne- Female- Static (offscreen)
...
Mary-Elizabeth's Party
Mienshao- Male, Regenerate
Lampent- Male, Shadow Tag (offscreen)
Whimsicott- Female, Chlorophyll (offscreen)
Oshawott- Male, Torrent (offscreen)
Expect a Mary-Elizabeth chapter in the near future, because I KNOW that I have not really showcased her AT ALL. Oh, and her boyfriend Prince is still traveling with her.
...
Alice's Party
Dragonair- Female, Shed Skin
Swanna- Female, Hydration (Not recently obtained. Alice once mentioned that she had a Swanna, she just never used it).
Ralts(Shiny)- Female, Synchronize(Offscreen)
Look, I know that shiny pokemon can be looked down upon, but like Chapel's Eevee, this one has an explanation. Now Alice is a spoiled girl from Kalos with alot of money on her hands. So Alice will only be looking for 'the best pokemon money can buy' in Ralts. That, and Vincent had a Shiny Magneton in the anime. It also serves as a consolation prize for missing the chance to capture the Snivy that belongs to Yumi now.
Kay, so if you bothered to read the updated parties, Pokemon that weren't obtained offscreen HAVE made at least one appearance at one time or another. Hell, some of them won't make another appearance, to be honest. I mean, Paul and Gary had TONS of Pokemon.
So that's about it. Next chapter I'll post the pokemon of the major Neo Snagem characters who haven't already been eliminated. Stay tuned.
