Pokémon Trainer Hero

Chapter 19: Adults Night part. 2

After Gar's humiliation subsided and he promptly wacked Rotom a few times for betraying him, things settled back down to a more even pace with the adults eating and drinking. The night continued in relative peace with everyone laughing and talking to one another. Gar along with the other Saké drinker's were starting to get a little tipsy and red faced after finishing off the fourth bottle of alcohol. Wigglytuff and Sableye both fell asleep at some point and Persian stayed awake, pestering everyone he could. Until he decided to try and pester his trainer.

The Pokemon hopped onto the table and walked around, brushing his body against each face he could. Making some of them cough or spit out hair, while Gar seemed unfazed. Until he saw the fifth bottle of Saké and tried to play the dumb clumsy cat, trying to lay down and wrap his body around the bottle on the tray. In the hopes of keeping it hostage and play fight with anyone who tried to grab it or knock it over and get a reaction from the ground of drunk men.

However, Gar saw what his Pokemon was trying to do, and even in his inebriated state, he quickly grabbed the bottle before the Pokemon could plop it's body down. Gar looked down disappointed and annoyed at the cat who looked back with an innocent and smug expression.

"No Persian, this Saké belongs in my body, not on the table!", Gar exclaimed.

Persian just rolled into his back and flailed his legs around while rubbing his face trying to act cute.

Aizawa took the bottle from the older teen and topping off his glass he said, "A man after my own heart."

Gar placed a hand on his chest and said coyly, "Oh Aizawa, you know I'm already spoken for.", Aizawa just chuckled as he took a sip and the older teen immediately followed up saying, "But Yamada is still up for grabs."

Aizawa choked at his words and spit up his drink onto his shirt and Wigglytuff, which made the pokemon wake up! The other all laughed at Aizawa as he coughed up whatever else he inhaled.

After whipping his mouth he looked angrily at Gar, who had a smug expression, and said back, "Not in a million years."

Gar rolled his eyes and replied, "That's what they all say…...including me."

Just then , Nurmine snuck up behind the teen and asked, "Oh Garfield, you gotta tell me about this special someone of yours you keep bringing up."

Gar places a finger over his lips and replies, "Maybe another time Nurime. Like I always say, I kiss and never tell."

"Of all the Pokemon for you to chaperone, did you have to bring the one who's the most annoying and unpredictable in the animal kingdom?", Sekijiro complained as he tried to keep his filled glass out of reach from Oersian, who was trying to swat it out of his hands while laying on his back.

Gar sighed and replied, "Persian may be a little Shiinotics-."

Before he could finish that thought, a new voice called behind him, exclaiming, "Hey I know you! Your that Gar guy, right?"

The men turned around and saw three girls standing behind Gar.

Gar looked at the girls and said awkwardly, "Uh, yes, but I kinda-."

Again he was cut off by the girl on the right as she stated, while getting uncomfortably close and placing her arms around his neck, "Awesome! We were wondering if you'd like to have some drinks with us and-."

But she was quickly cut off by Persian, who jumped to his feet from the table, arched his back, lowered his head, and bared his teeth at the group!

"HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!", the pokemon hissed at them!

Luckily this was all it took for the one girl to release Gar and scamper off with her other two friends out of the bar in fear! Everyone looked at Gar, who only seemed slightly frazzled by the encounter and over at Persian, who looked calm again.

Gar took another sip from his cup and said, "Like I was saying, Persian may be a little Shiinotics but he does get the job done."

The giant cat pokemon then left his spot on the table and moved to Gar, where he sat himself, then curled up right onto the older teens lap and began to purr. Gar moaned and complained when the giant cat positioned himself on the much smaller teen, barely holding his cup in the process.

Once the cat finally settled down in the not too comfortable or spacious spot, Gar petted the pokemons head and stated, "Something he thinks he's still a Meowth."

The festivities all ended around midnight when everyone had to get home and Aizawa had to go on petrol. That and they didn't want to get too drunk and have a hangover for tomorrow. Gar shuffled out of the bar with his feet dragging against the ground and head hung low as he made a bunch of burping noises. Aizawa noticed this and walked up to check on him. Aizawa moved to Gar's front view and saw that he had a very dopey looking smile on his red face and drool coming out of the corners of his mouth. He'd giggle and burp from time to time then look back down. Aizawa knew what he was doing, since he himself did it all the time, he was trying to hide his drunkenness.

So deciding to play along he asked, "You okay?"

Gar waved a hand in front of him and replied with some slurred speech, "Yeah yeah yeah. I'm totally fine. Im great. Never better!"

Aizawa was silent as he gave him a judgmental look and then followed up saying, "You're drunk."

Gar waved his hand in front of him again, and trying to straighten himself up he replied, "Drunk? No no. I'm not drunk. Just a little tipsy. I'll be fine.", he then took a pokeball off his belt and said, "I'll just have Articuno fly me back. It's not big."

Aizwa quickly grabbed his arm, preventing him from throwing the ball, and slowly letting his arm down he offered, "How about I just take you back myself."

Gar looked at him confused and asked, "Bu-don't you have like, job to do? You are a Noctowl hero right?"

Aizawa sighed at his pronunciation and corrected him saying, "It's the Underground Hero and yes I do. But It won't hurt anyone if I'm a little late to help you."

Gar then started to snicker, which turned into full blown snorting, until he said in a sloppy voice, "Awwwwwwww! You're such a big softy Shota. Behind all the dark clothing and grim looks you're just as soft as Wigglytuff.", he then looked down at the pink Pokemon in his arms and asked, "Speaking of which, can I have him back."

Before the man could answer, another voice called his name, "Um Garfield?", the two men turned their heads to the voice, and saw Ectoplasm standing behind them with a sleeping Sableye attached to his arm. "Do you wanna take him back?", he asked hopefully.

Gar looked between the man and Pokemon, then waved it off saying, "You know…..w-why don't you just k-keep him. hic."

"Keep….your….pokemon?", he asked confused.
Gar nodded his head and followed up saying, "Yeah yeah yeah! Like, you know….barrow him. He really seems to like you."

"Well if you're okay with it.", he asked with some concern.

Before he could chicken out, Gar cut him off and stated, "T-Totally. I gave Chiyo a bunch of my pokemon, so I do mind if you take ju-hic-just one."

Ectoplasm immediately noticed Gar's behavior and asked, "Are you okay? You don't look well enough to walk back on your own….or fly."

"Im taking him back, Okina. It's fine.", Aizawa interjected, to which he nodded in understanding.

Gar gave off a few bubbly giggles and said while pinching Aizawa's face, "Yeah-hic-softy pants Shota here is gonna be my big s-strong chaperone for the night.", Gar rubbed his fingers in Aizawa's face a few more times before commenting, "Wow Shota. Your face feels like a shaved Persian that's just starting to grow its hair back."

Aizawa groaned and Gar continued to rub his face while giggling.

Ectoplasm chuckles at the two, and turns around while saying, "Well you two love birds have fun."

Aizawa's face snaps to his spot with new tack marks on his face as he exclaimed, "I'm gonna get you later for that!"

"See you guys tomorrow!", Gar cut in while shouting for the rest to hear.

The other heroes chuckled at Gar's new personality and waved back, trying not to speak in the fear of laughing again. Aizawa sighs exhausted quickly wrapping his free arm around Gar's neck and walks off with him in the opposite direction, being followed by Persian at their heels. Gar nearly fell from being yanked and half choked but managed to catch himself back on his already wobbly feet and wrapped his one arm around Aizawa's waist.

Gar giggled a few more times before poking Aizawa's face and saying I'm a sloppy voice, "You are such a good friend Shota."

Aizawa rolled his eyes and replied irritated, "And you are one annoyingly giggly drunk."

As the two walked in utter silence, with the only sounds heard coming from the night city around them and Gar's occasionally hiccups, burps, or giggles. They passed by two unusually quiet alleyways that stood on opposite sides of each other, which immediately set off Aizawa's danger instincts! And judging by how the pokemon were acting near him, they felt it too! Before they could cross over to the more noisy and dense side of town, five figures emerged from the shadows and began to surround the two people in a sloopy half circle at the front. All of them seemed to have some kind of physical mutation quirk, ragged tough looking clothing, and unpleasant looking smiles on each of their scared faces. Aizawa knew they were in trouble and had to handle this with the best outcome possible.

One of the things, no doubt the leader, walked up to the front and asked with a malicious ring in his tone, "Hey you two! You guys got the time?"

Aizawa opted to stay quiet, but Gar, in his drunken state, blathered out, "Yeah, time for you to get a job and buy a watch! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "

Gar laughed so hard he nearly fell over and Aizawa had to hold up his entire weight just to keep him from toppling. His joke for whatever reason managed to make a few of the other thugs crack a smile or give off some soft chuckles, but their leader really didn't like that.

After Gar calmed down enough to speak he looked to Aizawa's displeased and serious expression. Gar wipes the tears from his eyes and says, "Oh come on Shota, that was good! I was saving that one forever!"

The thug leader gave a soft growl and stated, "Maybe I wasn't clear enough."

Suddenly a pair of what looked like lawnmower blades ejected from each of his wrists! They popped open and began to slowly reve around until they were flying at full speed! The thug swung them around to look intimidating, but got no reaction from the two men. The other thugs also showed off their quirks, all of which seemed to be related to some kind of blade or claw in nature.

Gar looked around at their impending predicament and suddenly his alcohol filled brain finally queued into what was happening! "Oooooooooooooh! This is a mugging. Well you guys chose the wrong people to mug tonight.", he told the thugs.

Then Persian jumped from behind Aizawa and hissed at the thugs, which actually spooked them a bit to see a huge cat!

One of the thugs recognized what Persain was and exclaimed,"Hey look at that! It's one of those, uh, pokeyman things! Your that Gar guy!"

Gar had an annoyed look on his drunk face as he started him dead in the eyes and half yelled, "Hey! First off, only my friends are allowed to call me Gar. And second, it's pronounced pokeMON! Why does everyone pronounce it like that?! There is not a single A in the whole word!"

The thugs were mildly surprised by his outburst, but shook it off quickly as the leader demanded, "Who the hell cares! Were the Gang Blade Boys, now give us your money and well consider not beating you afterwards."

Gar shrugged and replied, "Sorry I got no cash. Spent it all on Booze."

"Then we'll just take your poke-whatevers and sell them off on the black market.", the leader smiled and chuckled manically, as his cronies readied for an attack.

Gar sounded off a loud burp before stating, "Okay look pal, I don't know who you are, but I'm gonna give you a fair warning. That video was very misleading, my pokemon are far-."

But he was cut off by the leader, who was perfectly annoyed by now, and shouted, "Oh forget this. Get them!"

The band of thugs swarmed the two men as Aizawa said to Gar, "Well, you tried to warn them."

Gar sighed and said back, "Too bad.", he then shot to a standing position and shooting out his arm he commanded, "Use Power Gem!"

The red gem on Persain's head began to glow and suddenly shot a beam of energy that cascaded around the thugs feet! It was quiet for a moment after the beam was shot, suddenly a large explosion erupted from the ground, causing the thugs to be sent skyward! The thugs dropped to the earth like pieces of wet meat and sloley brought themselves back up!

This gave Aizawa and Gar enough time to strategize and prepare for the next attack! Aizawa pulled off his capture weapon as his hair started to float in the air, while Gar adjusted his head band and straightened his posture into his normal batting stance! Persain stood at the ready with hair raised up, teeth bared, and claws out as Wigglytuff stood next to the giant cat with a determined expression that only made it look more cute than threatening.

Aizaw turned to Gar and told him, "On the off hand you get taken down or captured, what do your pokemon know?"

In a slightly slurred speech, Gar explained, "Persain; Slash, Power Gem, Physic, and Triple Kick. Wigglytuff; Fairy Wind, Minimize, Hyper Voice, Dazzling Gleam. But isnt your quirk ineffective on mutations?"

"They don't know that.", he replied with a smile.

The leader was the first one to rise to his feet painfully as he looked around at his downed cronies and growling he shouted while revving his blades, "Don't just lay there you idiots! Get up and get them!"

The other thugs got back to their feet surprisingly quick, and charged at the two men again! But this time they were fully expecting this and retaliated with full force!

"Persian, use Triple Kick! And Wigglytuff, use Hyper Voice!", Gar commanded!

Persain then dashed up to one of the thugs and jumped into the air! When he landed above the thug, the pokemon landed three precise kicks to his body! Causing the man to fly back! Wigglytuff inhaled air, puffing up in the process, and released a shout of pure sound based energy that not only stopped three of the thugs but sent them flying back against one of the building walls! This left Aizawa with only a few of them to deal with, as he wrapped his capture weapon around them, pulled them in close, and then launched them with a devastating kick or punch!

Yet again, all the cronies were on the ground once more with the leader standing back. He growled angrily at what he saw and revving his blades even faster he exclaimed, "Stop going after all of them and focus on one at a time! Go for the animals first!"

The thugs pulled themselves up again in even more painful groans and doing as their leader said, swarmed the two pokemon in the front!

But Gar was quicker than these clowns and commanded, "Persain, dodge! Wigglytuff, use Minimize!"

The cat pokemon jumped back towards Gar in one quick leap, while Wigglytuff seemed to disappear out of thin air! The thugs hit the spot where the pokemon were and got struck completely baffled when only one actually vanished! The thugs looked around confused for the pink pokemon, but saw absolutely nothing! The leader looked on from the background and tried to figure out what happened as Aizawa looked ready to take advantage of their confusion to surprise attack them!

Then he saw something small and pink run along the ground. It hit him and pointing to the ground he shouted, "Look at the ground you idiots that pink thing didn't disappear it just shrunk! Now somebody step on it!"

Before any of the thugs could start slamming their feet on the ground, Gar commanded his Pokemon, "Wigglytuff, inflate your body!"

The pink Pokemon returned to its original size, making the thugs flinch, and began to rapidly suck in air! The Pokemon's body inflated at an astounding rate with such speed that within a minute he was 20x his size! The Pokemon loomed over the thugs and let out a deep cry! Though in it's inflated state it sounds more like a gurgly.

The thugs back away from the giant Pokemon until the leader, revving his blades again, yelled at them, "Don't stand there in awe of it! Attack! It's an even bigger target!"

The thugs hesitated for a moment, but soon they all started to attack the large Pokemon! Only to find their attacks literary bouncing or getting absorbed by its body mass! Though Wigglytuff didn't look like it was unaffected by each attack. In fact it looked more like a balloon ready to burst all the air out!

While on the backside of the Pokemon, Aizawa, Gar, and Persian were perfectly protected. But Aizawa didn't like how things were going now. Sure they were protected, bit for how long? And how long will Wigglytuff be able to last in this onslaught?

Aizawa voiced his concern, saying to the older teen, "I hope you got a plane. I don't think Wigglytuff can take much more."

Gar gave him a drunk smile and replied, "D-Don't you worry your pretty l-little head off. I'm always five steps ahead in a-any battle. hic.", He then turned to Wigglytuff, nearly falling off his wobbly legs, and commanded, "Use Fairy Wind!"

Wigglytuff loomed it small face over the pack of thugs and smiled a cold sinister smile on them! It was more than enough to make the thugs stop their attack and slowly walk away from the giant balloon pokemon. Wigglytuff positioned its face right above the thugs at a 45 degree angle and opened its mouth. What came out next was a whirlwind of pink sparkly air that was so powerful it lifted the thugs right off their feet and casted them fast off into the city streets! If the attack from the wind didn't knock them out, then whatever they crashed into after falling definitely did the trick! Some fell onto the roof of buildings, some fell right onto the street, some crashed into dumpsters, cars, or building walls, and one guy slammed face first into a fire hydrant!

After all the thugs were promptly unconscious, Wigglytuff deflated itself to its normal size, making a balloon sound in the process. Once the pokemon was back to its original size, it fell onto its back with one last Fwoosh and showed off its new swirly eyes to the two men. Wigglytuff had fainted.

"Looks like Wigglytuff exerted himself after that last attack. hic. But at least those thugs are taken care of. hic.", Gar stated as he looked around his body for Wigglytuff's pokeball.

Forchantly Aizawa was the one with it and returned the pokemon to safety. The pro hero dropped his guard and took out his phone to alert the authorities of the incident and clean the mess, while Gar still searched around his body and not even remembering what he was looking for.

However, what the two of them didn't notice was that only one of the thugs managed to escape the super fairy wind attack. It was the leader, who managed to stay anchored by hooking his blades into the ground! Wigglytuff's attack also left a very thick pink fog that the thug hid inside of, which is why neither Aizawa or Persain saw him when he rushed out and attacked! Everyone was caught off guard that the thug not only managed to swipe his blades across Persians body and sent the cat laying on the ground, but he got the better of Aizawa! Breaking the street apart to rocks and dust, then throwing it at his face and temporarily blinding him!

Aizawa managed to clear his eyes and grabbed at his capture weapon after a few seconds and was ready to fight off the thug, but stopped. In front of him was the thug holding Gar hostage with one of his blades pointed dangerously close to his neck! The metal glowed bright in the moonlight and caskets an image straight out of a slasher film, right before the gore! The thug looked exhausted, furouse, and desperate! Aizawa could use this, but he'd have to be careful or else Gar would lose his head!

The man breathed heavily and his body shook with so much adrenaline as Gar looked nervously from the corner of his eyes. The man took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"Alright lien here hero. You're gonna back off or I'm gonna give him a close shave.", he threatened.

"That's not gonna do you any good. You and your boys have already done enough tonight, give up quietly and your sentence will be cut shorter. Dot make yourself a hunted dog.", Aizawa told him calmly.

The man smeared at him and stated, "Those idiots aint worth shit! Only the best can be a part of the Gang Blade Boys."

Gar then took a few sniffles out of the air, smelling something like copper, and commented to the man, "Well then that explains a lot."

"Oh, so the drunk decides to talk, eh?", the man said with some amusement in his voice.

"I'm guessing the best is determined by you?", Gar asked.

The man smiled maliciously and replied, "I am the leader. What is it to ya?"

Gar narrowed his eyes at him while figuring out, "I see now why your grunts followed your commands, even after getting whipped, and why you kept revving your blades faster when giving them. So from this and the smell of blood on your blades, either your quirk cut through your blood vessels or you really like to cut meat."

The man shrugs non chaty and replies, "What can I say, if someone can't show their worth or fails me, then they're not worth anything. And I make that clear.", he exclaimed while jiggling his blades in Gar's face.

"You're despicable.", Gar insulted him.

The man smeared at him and roughly pronounced, "So what?! I got what I wanted and better! Your hero friend can't help you and now I'm gonna walk out of here with you at my side. I'll sell those pokemon of yours for big bucks! Maybe I can sell you off as well, who knows? Or better yet, I'll kill you and take the credit for it! My infamy will soar!"

"In the worst way possible.", Gar out of the side of his mouth in a low growl.

"And You!", the man suddenly shouted at Aizawa, making the hero halt in his place! "Don't try anything funny or else you'll watch him die with your own eyes!", he threatened while making one of his blades pierce Gar's neck and draw a little blood. Making Aizawa growl at him. "And since I'm feeling nice tonight. Any last parting words you'd like to share with your friend?", he asked in a vening tone.

Aizawa had to think fast! If he didnt, then there was no doubt in his mind that Gar would be killed just so this criminal wannabe can get bragging rights and an ego boost! And if he got away with him, his pokemon would be gone as well, and Aizawa knew that a single pokemon in the hands of the wrong person could mean catastrophe! He also knew Gar had one of those legendary pokemon with him. Even if he didn know too much, he still knew that something with the word 'legendary' in its name meant something even worse! But what could he do?

Suddenly it hit him, and with his eyes narrowed and his smile showing smugness he said, "Use Psychic."

All of a sudden the blades on the man's arm began to rattle, this quickly drew his attention as he looked at his own body in confusion. A moment later and the blades broke and bent in on themselves like paper! The man screamed at the sight of his blades standing frozen while still screaming at his broken quirk!

"Power Gem!", Aizawa yelled and this time a beam of energy struck the man clean in the face!

Causing him to release Gar and allowed him to scamper away! The man mostly recovered from the attack and tried to recapture his hostage!

But not before Aizawa shouted out, "Triple Kick!"

The man noticed something in his preflires and turned his head to see Persain bounding towards him at full speed with fire in his eyes! The cat then performed a mid air jump, causing his front legs to shoot in front, and the pokemon landed three kicks to the man's body which sent him flying off and away from Gar! Just before the man could slam into a building or skid against the street, Aizawa's capture weapon wrapped around him like fog and tightened up his whole body in one cover! Aizawa pulled the man towards him, while he was still mid air from Persian's kick, and readied his arm for a punch!

Just before the still screaming man could get walloped, Aizawa gave one last command, shouting, "Slash!"

In the blink of an eye, Persian was at Aizawas side and lunged towards the man with claws out! The pokemon raked his claws across the man's body at the same time Aizawa landed a hard punch into his face! The man fell over Aizawas body and landed on the group in a moaning unconscious pile. Aizawa unraveled his scarf from the man's body and dashed over to Gar, who was kneeling on the ground and hunched over on himself.

Aizawa was about to place and hand on the older teen when suddenly he threw up! Aizawa initially backed away from the sudden shock, but eventually he placed his hand on the teens back and began to rub soothingly. Gar's vomiting sounded painful in Aizawa's ear, as if he was trying to keep it down but at the same time unable to get it all out in one go. So he sat there waiting till he stopped.

Once Gar had stopped puking enough to speak, the first thing he said was, "Sorry Sorry, just-.", but he cut himself off as he went into another rounding of vomiting.

Aizawa waited and rubbed his back as Persian sat by watching them as he tended to his chest wound. After Gar finished, he wiped his mouth clean and breathed a few times to steay himself. He pulled himself away from the mess on the street as Persian walked up and began to brought up against him compassionately and purr.

He gave a soft chuckle and said, "Thanks Persian I'm feeling better now."

He took another deep breath before sayin, "I think I've had too much excitement for one night."

Aizawa sighed while agreeing with him, "I think we both have honestly."

"Thanks for saving my butt.", Gar thanked the man.

"Just doing my duty.", He said nonchalantly, as Persian walked up to him and began to rub his face affectionately against the man.

Gar saw this and smiling at the two of them he stated, "You know, you and Persian made a pretty good team back there."

Aizawa padded the Pokemon and replied, "I guess we did."

"Since you two do make such a good team, why don't I let you borrow him.", Gar offered.

Aizawa looked shocked by his offer and half stammered out, "Are you serious? Is this the alcohol talking?"

Gar shook his head and stated, "I'm serious, and no this isn't the alcohol talking. Besides I know you like cats."

Aizawa held up Persian's face to him and looked into the big cat's large mysterious eyes. Aizawa smiled at the cat and said, "Sure, I'd like that a lot."

"But really you just want wiggly tough back don't you?", Aizawa followed up.

Gar moaned and complained, "Oh come on! Is it so hard?"

"Why do you want that Pokemon back when you're just offering me one now?", He asked genuinely curious

Gargrowled angrily at him and shot back, "I'm the one who offers the Pokemon, you don't get to take whatever you want, whenever you want."

Aizawa shrugged at this and replied, "Fair.", while handing him back the pokeball that contained Wigglytuff.

Gar clipped the pokeball back to his belt and turned to Aizawa, who was caressing persian's face, asked him in a moan, "Can we go home now I really want to go to bed?"

Aizawa looked around the area, seeing the several unconscious villains and already getting a headache knowing that the night was going to go longer, and replied, "Right after we take care of these clowns."

Gar sighed an aggravated moan but agreed and sucked it up till the police came, everything was cleaned up, statements were taken, and it was all over…..after 2 whole hours.

The next day was pain incarcerated for poor Gar! His body aches, his stomach twisted, his face sagged, and his brain was pounding like a rocker drum! He had a deep dark aura around his body that said 'Stay back or I'll bite you!' and everyone in class that day made such not to even breath too hard near him! In short….he had a hangover.

Near his desk was a half finished case of bottled water and a half finished bottle of Alka-Seltzer tablet on his desk. He placed one tablet into a bottle of water, waited for it to dissolve, and then chug the whole thing into slurps.

After class, Aizawa approached the teen with Persian at his heels and a mischievous smile on his face as he asked vexingly,"So how are you feeling after last night's intense debauchery and heavy drinking treating you, Gar?"

"Shota.", Gar said the man's name in a low growl. "Get bit.", He hissed with a calm venom in his voice.

Persian, still taking his true masters orders, decided to play along and gave Aizawa a playful bite on his pants leg.

Aizawa chuckles with his unsettling smile and says, "Done and done."

Gar let's out a loud groan of frustration and slams his head on his desk while exclaiming, "I hate both of you."
