PLEASANT MORROW, MORTAL BEINGS!...I know, lame as hell, but if you dont know where that came from, you either skipped to the end for the "sex" scene or didnt get through the first wad of text. Anyways, hope everyone's doing well! As for me, i really wish this was October 1st instead of a month after that. The break i took really slammed me there lol. Well Better Late Than Never i like to say. Guess it was that needed, but we're back with some more of our favorite Twins! I can only imagine how strong they'll get at the end of the series and how they stack up to the Region's star players. Im certain many wouldnt take my approach, but I'd say throw your concerns to the wind, cuz yall should know i try my best to find ways make my walls of texts enjoyable to fly through. I always think about it in passing, so do yourselves a favor AND JUST READ! K? ouo Speaking of flying, my fingers go into turbo mode when it comes to a certain person that was introduced. Love him, hate him, he's meant to be taken both ways. That's my 9000IQ at work there UuU.
Oh and we're almost at 1000 Follows on Wattpad! We're sooooo dam close rn, and it honestly boggles me how we haven't passed it! Ugh! Well we should get to it in no time. After all, a day after i posted this, i woke up to over 20 notifications lol. We're only at 4 upvotes on this chapter, but it's better than nothing. Maybe when i have a better schedule for chapters, getting those shouldnt be hard at all to get. Im still thinking about how i can make more time for this. I suppose relative to that, I've had...Car issues for the past three weeks of October and the first week, the shit just stops working on me, so i had to sell it for scraps and i even ran into alot of bs with that! It really soured my mood for a while and dealing with hard laborly work at my job doesnt help either V! However, i recently got a car and felt alot more secure ever since. They even have me on a payment plan that i can work with. Let's say i needed some help too cuz getting one on my own was a total BITCH, where i was running into one problem after another. Then right before i got it, instead of taking Lyft or Uber to work again and again, i decided to use a bike. Motherfuckin' GPS told me it'd take 14mins to get there on bike...YEAH IF I WAS CONSTANTLY MOVING! So it was more like double that! Dumbass GPS eVe. Thankfully i only had to do that for two days, but still. Oh and i had to walk home once and that was even worse. I was kinda pissed at the time. So anyone wondering why chapters were a struggle for me to put out right after break, all that horse shit is why.
Also before i wrap up, DAM! Not only is all this chapter's text the longest so far for this fanfic, but it's really up there in terms of word count. Being well over 14200 words. Like holy shit. The views are still impressive, exceeding 16k views on here but 18.8k on Wattpad. Feels a bit unreal, considering how, if i remember right, this story was doing way better here, on FanFiction. Boy have times changed so fast, even for one on-going story. Yall know my stories are long as hell so yall dont know how happy it makes me when i finish one of these monsters of stories. On that note, the Rouge fic is now at 50.5k views with 300 VOTES! That's amazing there! ^u^ Should be obvious im no stranger to challenges like this and other stories pose to me. It's always fun to solve writing issues that tend to creep up in all of them ^^...Also i could've finished this a bit earlier if i didnt stumble across a mountainous string of porns. I'd say it happens to the best of us. Speaking of sexual stuff, i wanted a much longer steamy scene but i took a different route with it, mostly so the chapter wouldnt get too long. I feel like that can easily happen...I believe that's- OH! And when we get to 1000 Follows, i'll start doing milestone posts, like if a chapter gets 1k, 2k, 5k or 10k, imma post about it. Alright NOW that should be it. So without further ado...! You just read too much shit up here, so do 20 times more of that down there.
Chapter 7: An Unlosing Primarina & Her Dual Gym! What's The Deal With Deimos?!
—
The two went for a ride down the tube shaft. They were faced with the same opponent as last time. However he sat there on his back, with his backpack snugged behind his head. Very laxed for a Gym Trainer, don't y'all think? Josh and Cypress waited for him to respond but he just sat there like a bum. Tiff walked up with an angry look but was grabbed by Josh and Macey.
"[Josh] Tiff, we kinda need to see what his deal is. I know you wanna battle but-"
"[?] You two think you're gettin' to Joice?"
"[Josh] ! Well of course. What's it to you?"
"[?] To me, I think y'all should go on home. 'Specially if you're trying to complete a Journey."
"[Tiff] Heys! I's can beaten uppers every Poke I can came acrossing!"
"[Josh] S-she really means we'll be able to complete it. We've come pretty far too. Home is a few days away from here."
"[?] Heheheh your 'Punny pal can barely speak a lick of Human. Well look, the name's Samuel. Whatcha tryin' to prove anyway?"
"[Josh] Really...I just wanna find dad and get some answers..I was so sure he'd do well as an Elite Four, but..It sounds like he's messing up...So bad that this Vrey guy's on his tail."
"[Cypress] I feel like he needs help with it and I owe him for helping me, s-so..That's why Im with him."
"[Samuel] You's an Elite Four's son?...Hmph. *stands up, dusts myself off* Looks like I gotta battle then."
"[Josh] You sure did change up fast."
"[Samuel] You never heard of Fate Of The Four?"
"[Josh] Wha...What's that?"
"[Cypress] Oh! You mean the rule where if an Elite Four's relative battles anyone in the Gym, he must be challenged...Or else.."
"[Samuel] Death penalty. For the Gym Trainer. I cant risk sayin' no here."
"[Josh] That's why Im out here too! No one should go through these ridiculous rules! Who did it?! Who said that should be a thing?!"
"[Samuel] Cant say I know who...But. *sees Josh's eyes widen* Word on the street is that the Champ of the Region makes these rules and has an apprentice of some sorts runnin' around. Still..*takes out two Pokeballs* Cant exactly say who's doin' what."
"[Josh] Ok...Imma look out for him. Tiff! Mace! Get ready!"
"[Tiff & Macey] Loppun! [Right!]" the two girls respond, ready to do battle! Battle against who you might ask? Why our buddy Sam here threw out a duet of Emolga and a Swellow. His yellow friend looking far shier than his Swellow partner. "(I know that I cant underestimate even a Gym's Trainers. Who knows how underhanded one can get) Cy, do you wanna help here?" Josh asked, "Bell, you'd be real helpful here, ok? Pick whoever you wanna team up with. *sees her hug Macey and Tiff gives a jealous stare* I see that they've been close. Heheh ^^" Cy comments, "Right. Mace. Bell. Step on up. *sees them step in front* I know you two can do it!" Josh said, getting his mind ready to order. "Swellow, please dont hold back and give 'em a good ol' Split" Samuel ordered, "(Split?! What would that-) *sees Swellow dash forward, zips in between Macey and Bell, going behind them and turns his head all the way around and seemingly Pecks both of them at the same time, leaving bloody punctures on their backs, making them fall after a moment* Girls! (What the heck did this Swellow do?! It's so fast! We have to match it's speed somehow!) Quick Macey, use Agility and get a hold of Bell!" ordered Josh, making Macey do as instructed. The moment she turned around however, Samuel's Emolga was already staring Bell in the face, then he makes light-heartening gesture of shyness while turning away with a blush [Attract], "(This...This reminds me too much of Cypress! o/o)" Bell thought, her mind frying up in seconds, "*sees that she noticed what was going on with Bell before she jumped backwards* Elctroweb" ordered Samuel, and his Emolga shot out a net charged with static out of his arm flaps that he kept closed, ensnaring both Bell and Macey to their surprise. I'd be surprised too! Crafty critter! "Mace! Bell! Get out of it! *sees Swellow zip past my face, then Emolga appears in front* ! (I get it! He used the Swellow's speed to carry Emolga where ever he wants him to be! The Trainer didnt even tell him to do anything. He thought so quick on his feet! Him and that Emolga! Then that first move! He combined Quick Attack with Peck to make such a scary technique!) *sees them struggle out of the net despite getting shocked by it* Cy! Do it!" shouted Josh. "Right! Quick Combination!" Cy ordered, and the two practically vanish. "(Good. Now they should be able to-) *sees several afterimages of the Swellow and it intercepts Macey's speed with a swift bump at her knee with his head, tripping her up* ! Just how fast is this Swellow!?" reacted Josh, "This is pretty bad, J! W-we need a plan B omo" Cy comments, "(Now I just need good enough timing to land Hurricane. It should be over by then)" Samuel plots to himself, "*falls face-first* Punny! *looks up, seeing how Bell lands on her back, then is assaulted several times by the Swellow, knocking her into the air each time* P-Punny! [B-bell! No!] *gets up and tries to do a flurry of ear-punches at the Swallow but he twirls away from them with ease before diving down at Bell* PUUUNNNYYY! [BEEEEELLLL!]" Macey shouts, making her resonate a strong feeling in her gut as she looked up at the Swellow for a second. Her opposition had moment of unease in himself and felt a sudden knockback after touching a thin, unseen layer, making him flop backwards to the ground upon impact with a cluster of feathers fall where he initially was attacking. "*sees the Swallow get back up, having a leak of blood drip down his head but he staggered after a step* Wow Bell! What'd you do?! *sees her waddle to Macey and they talk for a bit* Uh Bell?" asked Cypress, "*nods at her* Hera Psysich came in. She learted it'd" Macey informed, "Leart..Learned? She learned a new move already? Just what we need! Give 'em all you got then, Bell!" Josh told her, "D-deedee! [O-ok!] Iiiiin! DEEEEE!" shouted Bell, "*tries to stand upright but suddenly feels a burst explode from inside, eyes whiten and flops over* Swell...Low.. *feels a big internal burst again, making blood gush out of multiple areas of the body* L...Low...[H...How did...]" said the Swellow who lost consciousness, "Molga molga! *feels the same burst happen on the inside, falls to the ground* M...Emol...Ga...[No...Please..This really..] *gets shot away by Bell's Psybeam* Gaaaa!" shouted the Emolga, slamming his head into the thick glass wall, knocking him out this way. "U-unbelivable! S-she just annihilated both of them! Way to go, Be- *sees her fall over* Bell! *runs to her, rubbing her hip area* Are you alright? What's wrong?! *has her hand hold her head, rubs her there* Her head...She must have a really bad headache.. Have you ever seen her like this, Cy?" Josh asked, "I dont think so..This must happen when she uses Psychic too much...Gee Im so sorry for this, Bell.." Cypress told her, picking her up and carrying her, "*claps, getting the team's attention and returns the two fainted Pokemons* Heh. Never imagined a move like that would take out my pals like that. Aw well, a loss is a loss. You two can continue" Samuel said, stepping out of the two Trainers' way to the next tube. They nod and go down said tube to the next Gym Trainer.
Vreyian and his team find themselves in pursuit of Legendary Joy herself. However, on the way, his surroundings become suddenly shrouded, as if night fell upon him in seconds. "*stops* Everyone halt. *sees everyone else stop, looks around* Can you see beyond this darkness, Void?" asked Vrey, "I would've gotten us out if I could. Someone is following us and we have to weed him out" Void told him, "Whoever it is, come out. It'd make things faster for us all" Vreyian says. The moment brings about silence. Void being the only one to notice a Gangar, the team notices the clouds of darkness lifting. The moment they had an instance to ponder, a surprise came seemingly out of nowhere.
"[?] AAAAAHAHAHAHAAA! *drops in front of Vreyian with arms crossed* Aaaah! Strong one! State your name!"
"[Vreyian] Why should I tell you my name?"
"[?] Yes! A valid question indeed! Simply, all mortal beings must adhere to my presence by giving me their title! As temporary beings bound by soul and flesh, our kinship is only a name away! For I am! Deimos The DeMon! The future leader of the land!"
"[Void] Vrey, we might be wasting our time with this one...I really dont like him."
"[Deimos] Vrey! This must be a portion of your name..State your name that's attached to your soul!"
"[Vreyian] ...The name's Vreyian."
"[Deimos] Vreyian, yes! A splendid name indeed! Such that comes with pride and power! Your very being is regal and strength incarnate!"
"[Vreyian] Enough with the nonsense. Explain why you're in the way."
"[Deimos] Ah subtle yet boiled is your spirit, I see! Very well! I shall elaborate! I, Deimos, seek the wing and tutelage of the graceful Legendary Joy! I am tasked with being her divine guardian from the shadows! Striking down all who oppose her! And I will gladly smith all who are mere mortals!"
"[Vreyian] Other words, I have to bring you and your Pokemon down first. Simple enough."
"[Deimos] Heh, has the strong turned eager? Though you are strength incarnate, such a being as yourself could not hope to best the likes of I: The Master Of Darkness."
"[Crave] Boy oh boy, you really know how to pick 'em, Vrey. If this guy's head were even bigger he'd be in space by now."
"[Deimos] Slithery one! State your name! Though a different species, your of a temporary being as well!"
"[Crave] I-Im not all that slithery but..Call me Crave."
"[Deimos] Crave, yes! Beyond the window of your eyes lies a slumbering hunger, indeed! Even saying it drills a pit in the depths of my stomach!"
"[Vreyian] *sighs* Are we battling or not? I have a woman to catch up to."
"[Deimos] Oh but first! The calling of my very being! Ever since I was an infant, fate had already inscriptured a purpose to my existence. That being to rid this world of all Pokemon."
"[Vreyian] Rid the world of all Pokemon? You're joking."
"[Deimos] I am anything but a jester, Vreyian. The atrocities of the land...The questionable acts and sins of Trainers to their Pokemon and vice versa...The organizations, systems and other wrongs placed upon the populace due to said acts...It all should be caused by me, dammit! Not lower lifeforms such as these Pokemon! I will rain Judgement upon them all!"
"[Vreyian] So you want to be the center of the wrongs in this Region?...How foolish can you get? I fear to ask why."
"[Deimos] A fool's dream is still a dream, my friend. It is still up to even a fool to make that dream a reality. Now as to being the center of it all...I need power! I seek it and I have much of said power due to reveling in such darkness! I have also been in the presence of Eulia Region's Legendary Pokemon, but THAT is how one can attain true strength! So then! As to our duel, what say you, mortal man?"
"[Crave] *looks up to him* Vrey~~, you said I get a turn, right?"
"[Night] I want a crack at this loud-mouth. He's my kinda guy!"
"[Vreyian] (The Legendary? Hmm. Now I have to get an answer out of him too.) Fine by me. Crave, Night, Void. Whatever Pokemon he has, take 'em out so we can proceed."
"[Void] Aint gotta tell me. I just hope he can take my mind off of things this way.."
"[Deimos] Come! Meet oblivion and toil in turmoil with me! I shall speak upon our great duel for centuries to come!" he said before sending out three of his own Pokemon to the field. His Gangar shrouds the environment in darkness, making it harder to see. Everyone except Deimos and his Pokemon, that is. Vrey's opponent throws out another Pokeball and what came out of it surprised him. It was none other than his superior's Pheromosa. Her presence make Vrey's group grow cautious, making his team try to gauge her as much as possible in seconds. "(Damn bastard...He just had to have an Ultra Beast Pokemon with him. This is something that easily match my speed. Every foe, the Ursaring aside, has felt like ants for a month. Now this. If one of us dies, I wouldn't be surprised)" Void was thinking, "*points to Void* That one there! We've yet to begun and he's shaken to the core! Your victory is now hidden behind fear and toil, Mighty Vreyian! Duel if you dare!" Deimos told him and his team, making Vrey roll his eyes before engaging.
Meanwhile back at the Gym, Josh is battling the next Trainer, but as one'd figure, he's having a hard time! "Tiff, get a hold of yourself!" Josh ordered, "*flings mud off of fur* Bleh! Ewwie! This muds are all over me! He's so a disgustings! o" Tiff complained, "*scratches behind neck* Seis seis [Eh, you'll be alright]" said the opposing Trainer's Seismitoad, "(Well I switched her with this other Z-ball, so I hope these new moves will work) Tiff, use a Charge Beam! *sees her use the move but it does nothing to the Seismitoad* Huh?! What the hell?!" Josh reacts, "Heheh. Oh yeeeah I forgot, man. Seisemitoads are immune to electric attacks, bro. I've never seen a Lopunny do an electric move though, so that woulda got me fer sure -u- Could be worse too. The main Gym lady kept a Swampert and he's stronger than this guy by a mile, y'see. He's also immune to electric and they're best broskies" said the Gym Trainer, "(What?! That's unbelievable! I can't really attack him physically with that wobbly body of his! Now this!) *sees that the opposing Trainer is just looking around with a dumb smile and droopy eyes while his Skarmory plots in the air* (And he's just goofing off! We're supposed to be battling!)" Josh thinks, "Hey J! You have ball that can give one of your Lopunny what you need! It should be have a D on it! *gets blown away by the Skarmory's beam of light from his mouth [Flash Cannon]* WAAAH! *is stopped in mid-air by an intangible force* Bell? Thanks Bell! *hears a crack, holds neck* Just wish it didnt hurt my neck.. o" Cy was saying. "Hey hey dont hurt my friend! This is between you and me, ok?!" Josh told him, "Sorry man. Sometimes Skarm just does his own thing. He's a bit too focused and strict for me, but it always works out..- u-" he comments, "Carlos, focus! If you fall asleep again, I swear I'll rip your hair out!" his Skarmory shouts at him, "Daaaang dude. Chillaaaax brah. You know we'll win - -" Carlos t0 told his flying Pokemon. This really made Macey and Josh were sitting there, thinking about what to do. "*sees the Seismitoad laying on his side as Tiff gives him a few more kicks, making him only wobble* (Gosh I'm really racking my...That's it!) Tiff, use Bounce!" Josh told her, and she ascends into the air, then the Seismitoad prepares a Hyper Voice attack, taking a deep breath, but it's interrupted by Macey's Dizzy Punch to his stomach, redirecting it to the far right as he flips on his back. He stomped on in no time by Tiff, but his blubbery stomach jiggles once again, "Do it again, Tiff!" Josh ordered some more, "(But Josh, it won't work..What's he planni-)" she was thinking with doubt, "*sees her drop down with more momentum* Now aim for the mouth!" Josh also ordered, "! Whoa whoa, not cool, man! Toad-bro, ya gotta get outta the way, k? *sees him get locked down by some sticky roots that wrapped around his head and body* Wait huh?! Since when could Lopunny do a Grass move? Did I miss a class on it? -q-" Carlos asked, "(Good! He didnt notice that I used Tiff's move to distract him enough to switch Macey in and out with a Z-Ball. Grass Knots gonna be key here. As well as this!) Macey, use Focus Blast on that Skarmory!" commanded Josh, "! *sees her fire the Focus Blast in a swirling motion this way, dodges it* (It's speed and accuracy are poor to me, why would-) *turns head back to Macey but doesnt see her for a second, and is ringed around the neck by brown arms the next moment; flails around* Skarm-! Skarmor! [Hey what're you- Get off, dammit!] *hears a series of THUDS going on below* Skarmory?! [Seismitoad?! What's going on?!]" Skarmory reacts, looking down, seeing Tiff give a series of stomps down Seismitoad's mouth, making blood fly onto her and she delivers a finishing kick across his mouth before jumping away from him. "(I get it now! He was distracting both of them at the same time and focus on knocking around the head alot! Great call, J!)" Cypress figured out to himself, "Hey Toad-bro, can ya wake up, please? *sees his tongue laid out of his mouth and eyes rolled backwards* Aw maaan, looks like he's out cold. Uh Skarm, what do I do now?" Carlos asked, "Get it together, little boy! *bashes Macey off by flapping backwards into a wall at 100mph* We'll lose if you dont!" his Skarmory told him, "Well what were your moves again? I forgot - '-" Carlos replied, "Tiff, Thunder Wave! *sees Tiff catch him with a surprising strike of lighting, paralyzing his wings, forcing him to be on the ground and jitter about* You really dont order your team, huh? You know that'd catch up with you, right? *looks at Macey who jumped upon being stared at* Yknow what to do, Mace" Josh said, "Well I uh..The Leader girl didnt think much of me and gave me these two broskies and I've been winning ever since, brah. *watches Macey tear Skarmory apart with a flurry of ear-punches, cracking and bending his metallic exterior in no time as he was beaten harshly against the glass wall* Can you still get up, Skarm? Outta gas already? *sees him not respond and flop over, defeated* Buuuumeeer. Aw well, cant win 'em all, right? *sees the Seismitoad get back up to use Drain Punch down on Tiff from behind, but only to get countered by a Jump Kick to his throat, making him froth at the mouth after falling* Heheh, nice try, toad-bro. He had a bit left in the tank there" Carlos comments, "You really did let your Pokemon do all the work...Thanks for the battle...Bro" Josh told him before leaving, "Oh no probs, brah. *waves bye* Tell the little man down there that me and him gotta hang for once, and that toad-bro cant wait til he meets his Swampert again" he told Josh as Cypress followed him down the tube.
The next three opponents that Josh faced were rather easy. One even had a Weedle, like really? The sharp decline in difficulty alerted him, giving our star player some more to say to Wilson and Joice. Speaking of them, they were up ahead...Well more like down ahead (if that's even right), and Josh with his team are moments away from going toe-to-toe with them. Josh with his Lopunny sisters and Cy land on this vertically elongated pod, which had these thin metal bars coming down from it, trying to look like a birdcage, and the opening they entered from closed before moving. The glass surrounding allowed them to look at the waters around them, with a suspended iron field ahead and below them as they are close-lined down to the destination. Patricia finishes using Healing Pulse on both Tiff and Macey, but by the time she got to her Indeedee partner, she starts to feel fatigue and after using it two more times, she falls to her knees. Josh didnt have much time to worry, cuz his opponents are already facing him right when he turns back around. Him and Cy along with their Poke teams step onto the field after the encaged mobile transporter opens up to an entry to this last room, with a flexible shaft to bridge to this area so no water gets in.
"[Joice] So you've come with this friend of your's. Your teams should be formidable then."
"[Cypress] Only one way to find out, right J?"
"[Josh] Do you mind telling me why you only had two really strong Trainers?"
"[Joice] Time constraints. Had I known that you two would arrive a week in advance, every applicant would be on equal footing."
"[Wilson] I...I used to be..O-one of them...Til I met Primmy as a Brionne.."
"[Primarina] Prima primarin UuU [And how lucky he was. He'd be nothing without me]"
"[Tiff] Lop! Punny pun! [Hey! Stay focused or else, blubber bitch!] *notices her stare back with an angry face*"
"[Joice] I'd watch my mouth if I were you. This Primarina is very talented."
"[Josh] Talented how? Wait you knew what she was saying in her Pokespeech?"
"[Joice] Legendary Joy was able to teach me some of what she learned from being a Pokemon Whisperer."
"[Josh] (Pokemon Whisperer?! Just like-!) Do you know Vreyian?! Did she teach him too?!"
"[Joice] There're a handful in the Region that know how to decipher language of various Pokemon. I will tell you that most originate near Victory Road."
"[Cypress] But that's so far away from here! J! That'd mean Vreyian really has been all over the Region!"
"[Joice] As for Vreyian...I've heard of how strong he's become recently. While he was a leader of Zenith, Gym Leaders all over hope to surpass him. In case he decides to destroy all of the Gym locations with his team."
"[Josh] (I understand...He can be unpredictable..) So what's this talent you mentioned before?"
"[Joice] You see...*looks at him with a shaded stare* Primarina has over 5 moves."
"[Josh & Cypress] WHAT?!"
"[Joice] You've fought Pokemon with over 4 before, but do not be surprised if she stays in battle for a long time."
"[Josh] (Dammit! How're we gonna fight against a Pokemon with that many? Is she so strong that it's possible to be like this?)"
"[Wilson] Even when she was a Brionne...She already knew 4 moves and...When she evolved she gained two more...Then a-after..Enough training, she-"
"[Joice] Quiet. *sees him suck in his lips* At any rate, you will face one of my Pokemon along with his Primarina. (So I can really gauge his skill.) *sees him lean to Cypress* (And his little friend too.)"
"[Josh] *whispers* Cy, think you can take this on with your team?"
"[Cypress] I dunno, J...*looks at Joice* H-hey, mind if we do a Rotation Battle?"
"[Josh] (C-cy! What're you-)"
"[Joice] Hmm. I see no issue. HOWEVER! *sees them both jump in place* It'll be a One-Sided Double Rotation Battle. The losing group has to switch to the next group. Only I ask if you want to switch during each turn."
"[Josh] Cy! It would've been fine if we just Double Battled!"
"[Cypress] You need to get something, J..*notices his eyes widen* I felt it...She never had a One-Sided Rotation Battle..Or even a normal Rotation Battle!"
"[Josh] ! (I see...! He believes it'll throw 'em off their game and make them unsure of what to do...But I never done a Rotation Battle too! TToTT) I-I hope your hunch doesnt cost us, Cy."
"[Macey] *notices Tiff look confused, giggles* Punny pun punny ^^ [Dont worry. You'll get it, sis.]"
"[Joice] If you two are ready...(Guile..Gale..Im afraid I cant use you two here. However...) *throws out a Pokeball* Come out, Vila."
"[Josh] *sees that a Vivillon came out of the ball* (It just had to be that, huh?) *sees Bell step forward with Macey* We're starting, Cy. Keep a close eye on them" he said, getting ready to step into another very hard battle, yet it'll be unlike last time at the same time! Wilson's Primarina was staring down Tiff with a smirk, angering her. However Josh had a feeling she'd act this way and how it'd throw her off too much in battle. Pretty clever! "Go ahead and use Poison Jab on Primarina, Mace!" Josh quickly ordered, Macey dashes in with watchful eyes and goop-coated hands, "A-aqua Jet!" ordered Wilson, making Macey miss her attack to her surprise after Primarina seemingly disappears in a big splash of water and bashes into Macey from the right while sliding around on a path of water as her opponent flung across the battle field. "(WHAT?! How the hell is she that fast?!...Wait! That move! It gives her alot of speed...Like a Quick Attack...! Dammit!) Macey! Get up! Quick!" Josh shouted, "Psybeam, Vila" ordered Joice, having her Vivillon fire a psychic beam at the injured Lopunny, but Bell jumps in the way, taking the hit in her back, "Bell! Are you ok?!" Cypress reacts, "Cy! We have to focus on her Vivillon! This Primarina's no joke! *sees both Macey and Bell get back up* Drrrrgh, just hang in there against the Primarina, you two!" Josh told them, "(So that's your plan? Not bad...But still) *sees Gale hiding behind a bush* (I have a little help so Im properly prepared against anything sneaky)" she thought, and Gale surely heard. Bell stands there and closes her eyes [Calm Mind], "(! She's setting up!) J, any ideas on keeping them busy?" Cypress asked, "(Keeping them busy..Mace can do quite a bit on her own so..) Mace, use Agility as much as possible and do whatever I say afterwards!" Josh told her, "*watches Macey shift her feet around in place at blinding speeds, to where it looks like 100 legs are moving* (What's he...He's what?!) Wilson! Attack!" Joice told him, "Uh Primarina, H-hyper Jet Attack!" Wilson ordered his Pokemon, making his Primarina use Aqua Jet to Macey while holding in a breath, feeling a bunch of rumbling in her throat [Hyper Voice], though her latter move gets interrupted by a swift Dizzy Punch across her mouth, making her shout a powerful echo towards the wall on the right, which Vila barely dodged, leaving a watery imprint on the wall, almost looking like a crater was there. "Way to go, Mace! *sees her getting exhausted and sweaty* (Oh no! She cant keep up this speed for long) Cy, do it now!" Josh told Cypress, "(Damn, he's going to fire it!) Vila, turn around and use Hurricane in front of yourself!" Joice ordered, "Fire your Stored Power, Bell!" shouted Cypress, "Vi? *turns around, seeing a big glowing beam coming this way* V-VIII! VIII! [W-what?! OH NOOO!]" Vivillon reacts in a panic, blowing a ton of wind in front of her as she could, snuffing the move, "Do it again, Bell!" Cy ordered, and the Vivillon wanted to dodge the attack but couldn't see Bell anywhere, then she gets blasted above by her strong Stored Power with Macey holding her, blowing her into the wall from it's thunderous shockwave. She did the move yet again but at point-blank range on Vila, making a large crater in the wall upon taking the blast again, and once the Vivillon finally fainted with some heavy bleeding, Macey fell with her at the same time, gasping for air. "(I couldn't use Rage Powder on his Lopunny there...However..)" Joice thought, "Good work you two! That's one Pokemon down! ^u^" Josh celebrated, "You thought that was it for her?" she said to him, "Wait what?! o o! *sees some colored, dusty substances come off of Vila's body and rain on Macey while she was still down; notices her breath it in for a second* MACE, NO! Roll away and make it fast!" Josh reacted, and Macey rolls backwards for a few seconds, only to fall asleep on her back. "Vila puts both Sleeping and Stun Powder on herself before a battle. It looks like your Lopunny wasn't able to dodge out of the Sleeping Powder" she told him, "(Damn! This is just like against that very first Gym Trainer at the first Gym!) Tch! Cy, any plans? I'd like to hear 'em" Josh asked him, "I-I dunno, J..Imma really need her to wake up fast for us..So we can beat another of her Pokemon n" Cypress replied, "I doubt it. *tosses out two other Pokeballs, making them go behind and two Pokemon come out* I switch. Will you do the same?" she asked, "*sees how she has out a Decidueye and a Corviknight* (What's with this team of her's? Why does she have to have fully evolved Pokemon? This would probably be for the best...) I switch. Get Patricia for us, Cy" Josh told him, and he did so with a nod; Putting her and Tiff in front of their Trainers (after Tiff dragged her sis behind Josh).
"(That was pretty messy..She wasn't kiddin' about his Primarina's talent. She do could so much. Well at least this way, it feels like a Round 2 and Macey can rest...But these two..They almost feel stronger than the previous team)" Josh thought to himself, "That was a good idea, J. We should be able to take down one of them with a fresh team...It's just that I dunno the Weakness for these two.." Cy mentioned, "I suggest you sit this out, Wilson. *sees him make way for the two summoned Pokemon, standing on the side in a shy manner, turned away* Do you mind starting us off, Corvinknight?" she asked, "(I hate this Corvinknight..He feels like he'll be a real dick. And his partner..I'll have to watch him too .)" Tiff thought to herself, then the Corvinknight suddenly dashes forward with a Steel Wing, making afterimages, zipping past his opponents and a few cuts appear on their bodies. "*holds the bleeding arm and a cut on the stomach* Ghhn! Lopun! (He's so damn fast! I need Agility or Im dead meat o)" Tiff thought, "Tiff! Dammit- Use Agility and carry Patricia!" ordered Josh, "*sees her swoop up the injured Audino* 'Tricia, use Healing Pulse! *sees her struggle to use it as the energy she gathers flickers in her hand* (Oh right! She used it a dozen times earlier! W-what on Earth do we do from here?) Keep trying, ok?!" Cypress told her with concern in his voice, "Corvinknight, Swift and Decidueye, charge your Solar Blade" she ordered them, "I shall. Here!" said the Corvinknight while dashing next to Tiff who kept increasing her speed and started shooting many stars at her. Tiff took a big step backwards, and kicked the Swift stars away as they explode upon being hit, "Tiff, try a Quick Attack on Corvinknight!" Josh ordered, "*speeds into him but bounces off of his hard body, Patricia flies out of hands* ! (H-how's he this hard on the outside?!)" Tiff thought, "Unleash it, Decidueye" she ordered, "WHAT!? (Wait! Was it that-) *sees Decidueye already behind Tiff as she was trying to land, and she turns upon seeing a bright, green glow but she gets cut down her back, almost ripping her black shirt off this way as blood scattered across the air* TIFF! NO! *sees her drop to the ground, struggling to get back up, and Corvinknight spins at her while leading with his beak [Drill Peck] but Patricia hold him by rushing in front of him, and held him away from her with an armpit grip around his neck, soon spinning her as well* Patty! Please dont overdo it, ok?!" Josh shouts, watching how Cy's Audino desperately squeezes down on his neck, with enough force to lock him into the ground. "Enough of that, Corvinknight. Hurricane. *sees him rapidly flap his wings around, swirling strong winds around him and her, quickly catching Patricia in the turbulent winds* Drill Peck" she coldly ordered, "Tiff! You have to stand up! We'll lose her if you dont stop him! Please! Jump Kick! NOW!" Josh loudly begged of her, "(Must...S-save...'Tricia...!) LoooPUUUUNNN! *blasts through the Hurricane move with a powerful leap, and lands a Jump Kick on Corvinknight's head as he was building momentum in the Hurricane* PUNNY PUN! [GO DOWN, DAMMIT!]" Tiff shouts, landing another kick deep into his chest and rib, snuffing out the whole Hurricane from the force of her kick. "*sees the Corvinknight land on his deeply dented rib while grunting* Charge Beam" Josh ordered her, and Tiff shoots the electric beam out of her mouth, blowing up Corvinknight in a concentrated discharge of static, "(This bastard...Gale warned me of him possibly using that. This Lopunny has incredible willpower) *ignoring her bleeding arm, Patricia goes up to Tiff and does Healing Pulse on her* (Then that move was Super Effective on Corvinknight, along with those two kicks...However, with Decidueye..Spirit Shackle? Hex? Phan- No, they cant work on Normal Types) Psycho Cut" Joice ordered of him, "! *grabs Patricia and jumps away with her, seeing a shiny slash occur, dashes to the side and tries to do sliding kick on him, but phases through him* L-Lopun...?" Tiff reacts, "I-I could've swore that'd-" Josh was saying, "That is because...*gets their attention* He's a Grass and Ghost Type. He was recategorized upon evolving" Joice told them, "GHOST?! But-but-but! Daaah! Cy! You gotta help!" Josh told him, "Well..We cant switch our own, J...Im sorry..Though..*gets his attention* Ghost moves cant hurt us! *gasps* We're pretty even now!" Cypress mentions, "(Patty's moves are useless here..But when in doubt..This move has yet to fail me) Tiff, try Bounce!" Josh told her, "*sees Decidueye look confident as she jumped high in the air* (Bounce...That move was categorized as Flying! From my understanding, a phenomena happens when a Flying attack hits a Pokemon that still part Grass, even if also a Ghost Type) Decidueye! Dont let that move hit you! *sees Corvinknight struggle to get up, bleeding from his head and the dent wound* Corvinknight, use Swift! Decidueye, Vanishing Hunter Mode!" she told them, "(A tactic?! She decided now to use it?)" Josh reacts in his head. Right when Corvinknight starts shooting up at Tiff with Swift stars while on his back, Decidueye vanishes into thin air [Phantom Force], confusing Tiff's aim as she prepares to drop, "{Her and her Trainer are thinking about finishing Corvinknight with the Bounce move, possibly another Charge Beam} (I see then..)" Decidueye replied mentally, "{He's going to prepare shots right where Corvinknight is. He'll be there in a few seconds} (Thank you, Gale. After this Lopunny is shot down, Decidueye can take care of the rest)" Joice thought, "Drop down on the Corvinknight, Tiff! *looks at Joice for a split second, seeing her hide away her smirk* And use Foresight!" Josh told her, "*sees the surprise on Joice's face* (There's something real fishy here..Ok then, Joshy!)" Tiff thought to herself, slowly catching on, then started spinning downwards while kick the Swift stars away, and after they were over, she kicks the air rapidly while aiming her head downward for Agility. The next second, she crushes down on Corvinknight as he gushes out blood from his mouth, then she ducks backwards to Decidueye's surprise the instant he shot a missed quill shot, even more surprised that he sees Tiff's eyes were glowing in blue colors [Foresight] before she Bounced back into the air. "{Foresight?! This Lopunny has Foresight?! Joice, I don't know wha I can do against this! I never fought that before! o}" Gale told her in her mind as Corvinknight faints, "Quick Decid-" she was saying, "Helping Hand, 'Tricia!" Cypress interrupts and tells her to Joice's surprise and almost instantly, her Decidueye was crushed at high speed by Tiff's drop, kicking up tons of dirt upon impact, blowing the Trainers away for a bit. Once the dirt clears and stops raining, Tiff is seen holding up Gale with one hand in front of Josh and Cypress. "! T-Tiff, where'd you pull her out of?" Josh asked, "She was a behinded de bushs nex ta her Trainiers!" Tiff tried to reveal, "Umm..So she means...Oh I get it! Tiff must've seen her behind the bush that was next to you! What're you doing with that Kirlia, huh? eVe" Josh asked, "She's a Psychic, J. She must've gave her some info about every little step of the battle telepathically! That sounds like plenty of cheating to me. Isn't there a rule for that? 3" Cypress points out, "...Tch..Looks like we've been caught, Gale..The rules say if the Gym Leader is caught cheating..His/Her Pokemon are disqualified from the battle.." she admitted, "Then that means...!" Josh was saying, "The Swampert that Carlos mentioned! ('The main Gym lady kept a Swampert and he's stronger than this guy by a mile, y'see.') That's her's too, J! We only have the Primarina left! ^o^" Cypress excitedly said, "(That's the thing...It's THE Primarina..) You hear that, girls? We're almost there! One last Pokemon to go!" Josh encouraged them, and they shout in glee. "Dont screw this up, kid" Joice told Wilson, who timidly stepped forward with his Primarina, who became pouty after Joice got exposed. Someone really cant keep salt to herself~.
Looking the team, Josh noticed that Patty was very tired, guessing to himself that she only has one Healing Pulse left in her. If that, even. Tiff has seen better days, but she's only dealing with a back wound and some bleeding legs, mostly from the Corvinknight's hard shell and his strong Swift stars. "What's wrong, biiiitch~? What's wrong with your leeeeegs~~?" Primarina suddenly sang, "! *is held by Josh and Cy* IM GONNA KILL HER! I SWEAR IT! SAY THATS AGAIN, BLUBBY BITCH! OVO*" Tiff shouts in anger, making Primarina laugh at her, "Y-yeah, s-she can Sing in our language with no problem..T-that's s-some t-t-t..Talent, right..?" lowly said Wilson, "I just wish she wasn't so tasteless with that one..- .- Ok Tiff, Imma need you to calm down so you can fight her. She's really smart and seen all of what we can do" Josh reminded her, "Yeah yeahs. I a cant-a waiting to taker hers downings" Tiff replied, "(I should be able to win this...As long as I use all the moves, they..I dunno..Maybe...I'll have to try) S-start with Sing, Primmy" Wilson told her, "Primaaaa~ Primaaaaaa~~" Primarina sung, "Cover your ears, Patricia! You'll fall asleep!" Cypress told his Pokemon and she did so, "(R-really?!) You too, Tiff! *sees her cover her ears, but she starts getting drowsy* What the hell!? She's getting affected anyway! XoX" Josh reacts, "N-now Hyper Voice!" Wilson ordered, "Bim-Bunny Biiiiiiitch~~~" Primarina sings with an uproaring voice, making a booming echo in seconds and shoots it at her opponents, which Patty was able to dodge but it flings Tiff backwards. "Damn! (She's gonna keep laying the beatdown if we dont come up with something!) Tiff, please get up! *sees her get up, and coughs out some blood* (That sure did do a number. I might as well go for the Weakness) T-try Charge Beam on her!" Josh ordered, "M-moonblast, Primmy!" Wilson shouts, "(Moonblast?! What the-!) *sees Primarina shoots out a pearly-colored beam out of her mouth at the same time Tiff shot her Charge Beam, and it snuffs out the electricity, pushing her backwards from it's strong force* Just how many moves does it have?! " Josh reacts, "U-use Aqua Jet, then Draining Kiss!" commanded Wilson some more, "*sees Primarina dash with a big spurt of water, then gets tackled backwards by her in seconds, then gets gripped* W-what's she doin- *gets Kissed on the side of the ass by her* P-PUNNY?! O/o Ghn! /o" she reacts, "*sees Primarina push her away* (What am I supposed to do here?! She's gonna keep toying with us til we throw her off)" Josh was thinking, "J, you gotta keep it together and come up with something..I just wish I had Bell right now..If only she didnt slide around us so much, we'd hit her by now.." Cy commented, "*looks at the floor and how wet it is* (...That's it!) Tiff! Foresight! *sees her eyes glow in blue colors* Now aim at the floor around Primarina and do Charge Beam!" Josh ordered, "(Aim at the floor to electrocute me? Pffft, as if they're gonna catc- ಡ ಡ) *dashes forward, about to do Aqua Jet and gets electrocuted by the shot Charge Beam* PRRRRRRIMMM! XOX" Primarina was shouting in pain, her scales starting to get fried, "There ya go, Tiff! You shot where she was going to be with no prob! Now we can start givin' her the beatdown! ^v^" Josh happily said, "P-Primmy, Sparkling Aria! *sees her blow many bubbles as she sung a short tune, making them float in front of her* Now u-use Hyper Voice!" Wilson orders, "Im sorry, but it's game over, Will! Gimme the assist, Cy!" Josh confidently said, "Go ahead and use Helping Hand, 'Triéce!" Cy ordered of her and she clapped her hands, boosting Tiff's power. Tiff's Foresight was boost a bit further, getting a more accurate sense of Primarina's fast movement and kept shocking her with Charge Beams over and over within a minute. She was getting really getting burnt and scuffy, as if she came right off the grill! "U-use Life Dew again, Primmy M" Wilson told her, "(This has to be the 8th time or so that she's used Life Dew. With that move, that should be 8 in total different moves she has. Tremendous talent, sure. But now we're really getting her down)" Josh pieced together to himself, "*tosses up a sparkling water in the air with fins, but barely sees any* (Life Dew is...Running out already?...It cant be helped..) PRIIIIIIIIIMMM...!" shouts the Primarina, starting to glow intensely, "H-hey Will..M-mind tellin' me what she's doing over there? o o" asked Josh, "Oh no...Primmy! Stop! Please! I'll do better! I-I promise! *feels the area start to shake and she begins tearing up in the eyes* She's going through with it...Her final move...Misty Explosion..She'll be unable to...Fight afterwards.." Wilson said in sorrow, "Will...*looks at Primarina, still trying to do the move* That looks really bad, Tiff! You have to use everything you got for this! It'll take us all out if you dont!" Josh was telling her, "*stares seriously at Primarina and dashes towards her* LOOOOOPUUUUNNN!" Tiff shouts, kicking the explosive, pink discharging energy, which was blinding everyone's sights upon her clashing with it. The whole area was covered with white and pink light for a full minute. By the time they could regain their sights again, Tiff stood strong but most of her body was bloodied and battered from the powerful move, with chunks of her ears missing. Patricia unfortunately took some of the impact, looking pretty wiped out, laying on her side with very little energy left. She tried to make a Healing Pulse; The energy of it just stood there, flickering in her hand, but sadly couldn't even heal a fly and lasted for only a moment before disappearing.
"[Josh] Well...Guess we won..."
"[Cypress] Y-yeah. We sure did, J. I wasn't sure how we would but we pulled through. ^_^;"
"[Josh] Only being down by one Pokemon, no less.."
"[Wilson] All...Because I wasn't able to save her...All because Im such a weak Trainer...TnT"
"[Josh] Hey Will. Dont beat yourself over it, ok? You'll get there. I know you will."
"[Wilson] B-but I did so much! All this training with Joice...A-and how far I got in that battle, a-and- *sniffles* A-and- TTMTT"
"[Josh] Maybe you need to give it more than your best. *gets his attention* Lemme tell ya. When Im in so many of these battles, half the time I dunno if I can stomach another minute of it. But once I get that opportunity to turn it all around; When I put my mind to it, to see it through to the end, to make it all go my way, that's what it's all about, buddy. It always helps when I have a friend and my girls backing me every step of the way. Sometimes you gotta give it an extra push, or just stick it out. It all makes victory taste that much sweeter, yknow. ^v^"
"[Wilson] *sniffs* D-does it...Why do you believe in me this much?"
"[Josh] We all have it in us to win. I see it in you and your Primarina. You gotta work at it to get to where you wanna be. No one wants to see a big baby of a Gym Leader either. You gave us quite a scare with just that Primarina of your's. That's why I believe in you. Ya dont look it, but you really go with your heart. That can real dangerous if trained well enough. u"
"[Wilson] My heart...R-right.../"
"[Josh] Woulda helped too if a certain someone didnt cheat. e e"
"[Joice]...Ahem. As Gym Leader of the Troven Gym, I approve of your insight and tenacity you share with yourself and your team. Upon witness of such feats, I present you with the Seagull Badge."
"[Josh] *receives it*...We really did it, Cy! *holds it in the air* We got the Seagull Badge! *is handed 10000poke, takes it* And we got a really good wad of cash!"
"[Cypress] Congrats, J! We're on a bit of roll, dontcha think? ^u^"
"[Josh] You bet! ^^ *whispers to him* Please make it normal Rotation Battles next time...= ="
"[Joice] I suppose we will be seeing you off then."
"[Josh] Yeah. No more cheatin', y'hear. 'Specially for next time. And Will, keep up the work. See ya" he said while waving goodbye; The two putting their respective Pokemon in their Pokeballs, and taking a hidden elevator behind the back wall to go all the way back to the top of the Gym building. Josh smiles while putting the Badge in his Badge case and exchange a glance of brotherhood between Cypress before walking off into the entrance. However...Their troubles didnt stop there. Neither of them saw this encounter coming.
"[Josh] *sees a man with gray skin and a long purple scarf, wearing all black, stand there, holding the wrist of the right hand as it strains and flexes as he grunts* W-wha...What's with you?"
"[?] Right hand! It pulsates! It craves for the blood and flesh of my victims! Must! Take! Control...!"
"[Cypress] *whispers* This guy's a nut, J. Let's just-"
"[?] You dare question I, Deimos, The Great DeMon?!"
"[Josh] Whoa whoa, one thing at a time here! What's your deal?"
"[Deimos] Deal? I've yet to propose anything! *points at Josh* But I know of you! Oh Questionable One!"
"[Josh] Q-questionable?! W-what've you heard about me? From who? O/O"
"[Deimos] Ah, excellent question! From he who embodies Strength himself! Our dear friend, Vreyian! Im certain you know of him."
"[Josh & Cypress] VREYIAN!? OoO"
"[Josh] Y-you met him?! What for?! Why?!"
"[Deimos] Ha ha, why for a duel to prove our existence to the world at temporary beings of this realm."
"[Cypress] I haven't seen him battle, but from what J's told me, he's got an incredible powerful team."
"[Deimos] Of course, of course, Meek One. BUT! *gets their attention* I've bested not one! NOT TWO! NOT THREE! BUT FOUR! COUNT 'EM, FOUR! FOUR OF HIS POKEMON TOILED AND FELL TO ME! HA!"
"[Josh] OoO...T-T-THERE'S NO WAY! How could you have beaten that many out of his team?!"
"[Cypress] J-J didnt you tell me how you instantly lost the first time? A-and how one of them trained with you for a bit? /O O\;"
"[Deimos] Listen and listen well! Both of you! Pain! Sorrow! Despair! The blood of your victims! You revel in it all! You must thrive in the darkness and aim to consume it! THAT is how true power can be attained! I am the spitting image of such principal! I dare say it is the law of the land!"
"[Josh] No...You're wrong...You're just a nut case I just met, so-"
"[Deimos] MORTAL I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL WHERE YOU STAND!"
"[Josh] 0x0"
"[Deimos] Questionable One, I despise your ilk! Mortals that walk that battered and trotted plain, tainting it with their foul, wretched sins make me sick in the pit of my stomach! To think they would submit themselves to such creatures, big and small! It's abominable!"
"[Josh] Y...You're talking about Trainers loving their Pokemon...Like that, right?"
"[Deimos] You're in a distasteful affair with Pokemon sisters. Him and one of his own told me about this vile act you're in the middle of. You're going as far as influencing the boy and those around you to do the same acts! For shame, lowly mortal. You should count yourself lucky I haven't ended you here and that your soul is still bound to you."
"[Josh] W-well...Thing is..I-It's really up to him if he wants to do that with his team or not. I..Dont feel the best when I think about that stuff, k? If it happens, it happens. Im not telling him or anyone else to do anything, understand?"
"[Deimos]...*turns away* Well until we cross paths then ^^. Nice talking to- *turns back around* Wait, you still aren't off the hook, as they say. I care not the attractiveness of these lowly creatures. Stop this madness this instant, Questionable One!"
"[Cypress] *whispers* I dont think he knows how people work."
"[Josh] I know, this guy sure is somethin', eh?"
"[Deimos] Drrrrrgh! Why do the people of this continent mock me so?! uVu"
"[Josh] So uh...What's your deal again? I dont get you."
"[Deimos] ! Ah yes. Excellent questions as always, Questionable One. To rid this plain of existence of their sins and committing more in the future, the people should be freed of their fellow Pokemon! I, and only I shall dispose of them all! Well me and my Seven Saviors, that is!"
"[Josh] Ok ok I get that much but what's with these speeches though? You a real rambler, ya know that?"
"[Deimos] Ah but that's my enlightenment of the Legendary of the land! Speaking his name would give me infinite power! So! Upon being in the presence of The Great One, I made a Pact with him to not speak his name! One day, he shall be defeated by no other than myself! Once he falls to me, I shall transcend this moral body and become Deus, The Almight DeMon! Man shall be beneath my feet and finally be in True Order!"
"[Josh] (This guy...Might be the craziest person I've ever met. Way more crazy than Vrey could ever be...= 3=)"
"[Deimos] Though this man. Vreyian, Strength Incarnate. I've failed to make him fall to me. It is vital for me to fully best him and his team in mortal combat. To not only prove our existence to the world but to prove that The Seven Saviors have what it takes. To rid all Pokemon, and vanquish all Pokemon."
"[Cypress] Y-you know that...Some Pokemon out there bring balance to our world, right? ^u^; ...As in if we dont have them, we won't be able to survive on this world. ^u^;;;;;"
"[Deimos]...Hold your tongue. You say some Pokemon are important to keep the world together? *sees him nod rapidly* Then I shall become the balance of the world itself upon my transcendence! Simple solution to world-wide problem!"
"[Josh] Y-you do know you'll get alot of trouble this way, right?"
"[Deimos] Why yes, that is the point."
"[Josh & Cypress]...What? o 3o"
"[Deimos] I shall obtain it all! The Power, The Sins of all Man, The Souls of all Pokemon, and all else obtainable in multiple plains and fabrics of reality! Only I shall be the center of all the wrongs of this world! This is my purpose! My destiny! For I am also son of the Region Sovereign!"
"[Josh] (Well...I officially heard the dumbest things I'll ever hear today...But wait, what's this deal with Region Sovereign though?) Well uh...I kinda need to go to this Pokemon Center..So um..C-catch ya, later..?"
"[Deimos] Yes yes, have at you. Just know that your Judgement is imminent and this is all a delay of that. *smirks* Heh. To think that I would be in a race against The Questionable One with his companion to see who can best the man in the way of my Journey of Transcendence. Yes, my quest is quite the interesting one indeed. Now then..I shall leave the rest of the morrow to you two! Until we cross paths, fellow mortal men!"
"[Josh] *sees him hop away into the trees* I hope I never battle him. I cant tell if he's really human...Have you heard of him?"
"[Cypress] My first time hearing him, sorry. I guess he doesnt get around much."
"[Josh] More than likely. Well let's head to the Center, Cy" he said to him before they leave the grounds of the Troven Gym. Astonished with a sourness of cringe tainting their souls, yet a bit glad about saving their Pokemon from such a meeting, the two go the rest of the way to the Pokemon Center. The eccentric Trainer they faced filled them with many emotions and thoughts. They did feel, however, that he was another way to gauge how much strength they need for Trainers in the further future. Even with his unsounded babbles, they couldn't help but take him rather seriously; The two thought about him and his words after receiving their Pokeballs back (With Tiff needing some extra healing for her eyes), they need a few minutes to grasp what was went on earlier. Yeah they were that confounded by Deimos. They hoped that any other crazy foe they face would be nothing like him...Yet, unfortunately again...Once they stepped outside, it was a hop back to crazy town.
"Aaaah finally you two 've stepped out!" said a familiar, overly excited voice, making Josh & Cy stiff up upon hearing him. "*looks back and above the Center's roof, seeing Deimos sitting up there before jumping down, landing up ahead, reaching for his Pokeballs* (N-no way! Not when we just met him like 10 minutes ago! ;;;) Ummmmm...W-what're you doing here?...Were you really waiting up there for us? _" Josh asked, "Why yes, Questionable One! I decided I've yet to have my fill for battle, and what other perfect way to fill such a quench by exacting the prowess of a recently met rival?! The opportunity seemed too joyous to pass when I conceived the idea for just an instant!" Deimos explained, "*whispers* J-J, I-I t-think we're in big trouble with this gu-" Cy was lowly saying, "YOU! *sees him jump his shoulders* You seem to be fond of whispering your innermost thoughts to your companion there. Perhaps I must pry open your skull to peer into that feeble mind of your's?" Deimos interrupts with, "S-sorry about that! Wont happen again, Lord Deimos Sir! ^ ^;" Cypress cowardly replied, "(Cy, dont call him Lord of all things...- -)" Josh thought, "The twosome of you have nowhere to run and hide! Running would prove the falsehood of your courage and show how much of husks you truly are! Now behold! My-!" Deimos was saying, "Hey! We're on our way to the Pokemon Center! Get outta the way! Do your battle somewhere else!" a Trainer girl shouted at them out of a group other Trainers that were also growing impatient, "Drgh! W-we'll battle elsewhere. ^3^ My fellows, mind if we proceed with our battle at another destination? ^ u^;" Deimos asked of them...And as you'd figure, they did just that and took their business towards the way to the city's exit hall. Josh and Cypress felt strange, since this is their first time seeing some normalcy come from him, figuring he'd seek to make them bend to his will...This moment gave Josh a bit of time to think. "Ahem...*turns to them* Now where were we? Ah yes, our- *sees Josh get on his phone* H-hey who're you dialing at the wake of our battle? -v-" Deimos asked with a hint of frustration, "Im just gonna call Vrey and see what he says about you" Josh told him, "(Blast! Since did he get his number?) D-do that later! Our battle calls for us, mortal! I will unleash an array of arcane tortures upon you if you dont! *hears him grumble and put his phone away* Now! BEHOLD! Bare witness to my Seven Saviors! Come!" Deimos says, sending out two Absols from his Pokeballs, "...You only have two out. Where're the rest? ~ .~" Josh asked, "Y-yes, h-how observant...- m- I...Ahem. Those have...Yet to return...B-but they will be at my side! I swear it! *sees them give a low-brow look*...But you see! I shall allow you two to do battle against one of my Saviors! One of them should be more than enough for you two to handle! I assure you!" Deimos told them, "If you...Say so. *throws out a Pokeball with Cypress* (I have my doubts with this guy now. Is he really as much as he's cracked up to be?) *sees Tiff come out of the ball, standing next to Bell, then she sees the two Absols and gives me a puzzled look* I-I'll explain later, Tiff. Right now we gotta see about winning here" Josh told her, "He said he had seven Pokemon but...He only has two on him..Hopefully it'll be a short fight, you two" Cypress informed Tiff & Bell, "A mere trick out of many, mortal ones. Ah yes, this reminds me of the Tale of The Two Twin Cladded Warriors. One was noble and was nothing without his spear and trident..." he began, "*sees his Absol charging up, his whole body glowing* [Giga Impact] ! (What's going on here? Is he really about to tell his story when his Absol is about to attack on his own?)" Josh thought to himself, "Aaaabb! SOL!" his first Absol shouted while charging down Tiff as she held him, but the force pushed her back by a dozen meters, "(H-he's incredibly strong! How am I gonna fight him?! o o;)" Tiff thought to herself, "His spear held a special power of flames hidden within it's spirit! Putting each opponent in great fear and torment, regretting their souls being casted in their bodies!" Deimos was passionately expositing, not looking at the action which consisted of Tiff getting blasted by the Absol's Flamethrower and having her body glow with a dark purple-ish aura [Hex], "! (I know that move!) Wait a minute! Stop fighting! *sees that everyone's stopped* I've seen that move before! You're using Hex on her! That move only harms non-Normal Types yknow!" Cypress points out, "...I-I know of that. I was just...T-testing you was all...*is given a disappointed look again* Dont interrupt me again, cur! *activates the Absolite that's within the Key Stone wristband, making it shine* Now allow me to continue to tell the tale of-" Deimos was saying, "*notices how tired the Absol looks* (Now's my chance!) Tiff, Jump Kick! *sees her easily land it, knocking him 70ft in the air and land hard on the ground, changing her form to that of a Zoroark, who laid there in a series of grunts*...Do you know anything about this, Cy?" he asked, "*looks at the other Absol and Mega Evolve into a Mega Absol* Well all I know is that he used it on the wrong one - _-...But I think what this Zoroark did was an Ability" he told him, "I..I knew this would happen too! Ha! I-I shall continue my tale when my Mega Absol switches out for my Zoroark. *sees the Zoroark roll her eyes before staying behind* That is much better! Now! On with the tale!" he begins again, and his Mega Absol's eyes made a shimmering flash happen in front of himself, then proceeded to charged with great strength and thrashed through Tiff with his horn as it shinned intensely [Megahorn], flinging her into the air and some blood rained over Bell, scaring her as her eyes were filled with shock. "(DAMN! How strong is his Mega Absol?!) Tiff, can you still hear me?!" Josh shouted, "*sees Bell trying to charge up her power as she shivered* BELL NO! *sees her turn behind* You...I dont think you cant do anything! Your Psychic moves cant hurt Absol! He's a Dark Type! o;" Cy shouted, "*watches Tiff get impaled by his Mega Horn, then feels heart sink for a moment and starts seeing things in inverted colors, then runs to Cypress* DEEEEDEEEEEE! [CYPREEESSS] O;;;" she screamed in fear, going behind him and he returns her back into her Pokeball. "The other Cladded Warrior was a kindred of his! He too possessed great might! So mighty that his opponents dare not to fathom his willpower before he smites them! His foe felt his Judgement even from the very ground he walked! Once defeating his victims in the dark depths of a mountain, shattering the whole thing in the process!" he continued rambling, "*sees her using Foresight but she still got hit by his Iron Tail, knocking her down* (He...He's just too strong! Should I even send out Macey?...What could she even do?)" Josh thought to himself while hardly gripping Macey's Pokeball as his hand shook, and ha a frustrated look. Tiff was flung into the air again and took a Flamethrower, shooting her to the ground and making a crater upon impact, her eyes starting to white out. "*looks at the battle, notices how bad it's getting for Tiff and sees Josh getting really mad* Stop there, Blight! *sees his Mega Absol stop* Questionable One! *gets his attention* Your Lopunny can battle no longer! *points to him* You've failed to revel in your battle and anguish and draw strength from it, thusly you've failed her! Stand tall and either accept the dark ways to gain great power or you'll never defeat me and return her this instant!" Deimos shouted at him, "! (...Like I had a choice..) Tiff..Return..*has Tiff beam back inside her Pokeball* Deimos...Just go away.." Josh lowly said, "Hmph. You've still a ways to go against me. I only showed a moment of weakness and you punished my Zoroark for it. I too have a long road for myself, to raise to power to right the wrongs of this land. But firstly, defeat my mightiest foe yet, this Vreyian fellow...These hands still thirst for his soul, and one day I shall take it! *sees Josh stare with a shocked look* Ah, so you think Im that sparing? Ha, not quite, my friend!" he told him, "*fixes hair* I dont do that much dirty work unlike the rest of the team. But it's a part of his 'Conquest' he likes to call it e e" his Zoroark said as she stood in a poised manner, "Are you trying to mock me, Piety? Do not make me force myself upon you! *looks at Cypress, who had creeped-out face* W-what did I say? Bah! Blight, Piety! We're leaving. Enjoy your delayed moments from impeding Judgment, whelps. Do not toil for too long. I want a greater battle next time!" Deimos farewelled, jumping away after getting on Blight's back, who could shortly glide upwards with his wings of fur. Feeling sorrow wash over them, the two Trainers go back to the Pokemon Center. "You two must've had a battle. *sees how down they look* It...Really didnt go well, did it? Im sorry..Here, let me see your Pokeballs" Nurse Joy asked them, and they gave their Pokeballs to her, then she healed them. They sat there for a while again, even after getting them back...Then Josh remembered to do something.
"[Josh] *hears the phone ringing*...Please pick up."
"[Crave] *picks up* Boy? Ooooo someone cant wait to talk to his boyfriend again? eue"
"[Josh] Wh-! Where's Vrey? I need to talk to him!"
"[Crave] Easy there, boy. Keep the panties on. Chasm, he's calling."
"[Josh] *hears it go silent for a moment*...Hello?"
"[Vreyian] So it is you again. Boy, do you not know how busy I get?"
"[Josh] Well look...I fought someone you fought earlier.."
"[Vreyian] I have battled against many, kid. Which one're we talkin'?"
"[Josh] Do you know guy by the name of Deimos?"
"[Vreyian] Deimos...Hey Void, is that the wack job that talked the most today?"
"[Void] Deimos is the guy that lost most of his Pokemon when we beat him."
"[Josh] He said he's beaten four of your Pokemon."
"[Vreyian] He's beaten four out of my team? Nonsense. Night was the only one that he made short work of. What a damn liar."
"[Josh] What...? Cy! Deimos only beat one of Vrey's Pokemon! He lied!"
"[Cypress] I knew he couldn't be trusted!"
"[Vreyian] Is that all you wanted? I need to go."
"[Josh] Do you have a better idea of his whole deal?"
"[Vreyian] He said he met the Legendary of the Region. It's hidden miles above and away from the Pokemon League. He didnt tell me how to get to it, but I'll figure it out later."
"[Josh] Also what's this Region Sovereign? I dont think I.."
"[Vreyian] Our Region is ruled by a big-wig. The Champion himself."
"[Josh] Ah I see then. You sure cant find dad, huh? How long've you been searching for him?"
"[Vreyian] It's been a whole month. How impressive his hiding skills are go without saying."
"[Josh] Have you...Thought of maybe giving up the search? That's a long time yknow..I think Deimos is a bigger issue now. Dont you wanna do something about the whole issue with the Region and maybe become Champion yourself?"
"[Chasm] Listen little boy. Vreyian is more stubborn than you think. You dont know how out of it he was when his Pokemon was killed by your dad..We almost lost him."
"[Vreyian] There's no need to go into it for me, Chasm.. Kid. You better keep hoping I dont find him. What he did was unforgivable. He's had a hand in the rise of Zenith."
"[Josh] B-but there's just no way! I know dad wouldn't ever consider doing this! He's a good man, I swear!"
"[Vreyian] Kid. Because of him...Most of my team would've been dead if it weren't for me and Void's help. He adducted and abandoned them, Josh. They want revenge, just like me. They can tell you."
"[Josh]...BUT YOU HAD A HAND IN ZENITH TOO! *hears him stay silent* Look...Im finding out for myself and Imma hear it from his mouth."
"[Vreyian] Go back to these twins you're with. Maybe they can calm you down. And as for becoming Champion...Like hell if I care. That's your goal, not mine. This other guy's a joke."
"[Void] Wrap it up, boss. Several Ninjasks at 10 o'clock."
"[Josh] *hears him hang up*...He doesnt care...? Wha...What the hell's with him?"
"[Cypress] I heard a bit of it..He was looking for him for a month...? I feel bad for him, J...It really sounds like he won't stop til he takes your dad's life..We gotta get to him first.."
"[Josh] Yeah...We need to get way stronger and fast..I think we should rest for now though."
"[Cypress] Yeah, good idea" he said to him and with that, they exit from the Pokemon Center and proceeded to the city's Inn. There's was a bit pricey for the two this time, seeing how it's 1000poke for the night in total. They had really good service with all the food and drinks they receive. They enjoyed the company with their Pokemon too, eating with them and catching them up what Vrey and Deimos were talking about. After telling them for like...2 hours, their Pokemon got exhausted and found themselves laying on the bed with pretty messy hair.
"[Tiff] *siiiigh* Dont a know how'd you tooes can handy this.."
"[Cypress] Uh t-translation, J?"
"[Josh] She's saying it's alot we're handling here. I aint sure how we're gonna pull it off too, but it aint like we're gonna sit around."
"[Patricia] I kno-aaaauudiii! Audin...T_T"
"[Cypress] *giggles, pets her* You'll get it one day, 'Triēce. ^^"
"[Macey] Y-you dont think we needs more Pokemon, do you?"
"[Josh] Hey that was almost perfect, Macey! Did all that talking help? ouo"
"[Macey] I-I gess a-so..Ohn oh. oxo"
"[Josh] Dont sweat it, Mace. You're almost there. But yeah, Cy. You may need to catch some for us."
"[Cypress] W-why me again? ^ ^;"
"[Josh] I know the twins can do it, but for emergencies, we need more precautions. *sees his Indeedee and Audino look saddened, pets them* Hey now. Im sorry but competition's gonna get more fierce from here on."
"[Cypress] Well I'll think about it..Im a Ranger after all. It's my job to help people, Pokemon and the wilderness. I gotta get better too. ^u^"
"[Josh] That's what I like to hear, Cy. *closes eyes for a moment* Yknow...That Deimos guy is kinda funny, huh? 'I'll force myself upon him!' Remember that? xD"
"[Cypress] *giggles* Sounds like someone's lived under a rock, huh?"
"[Josh] You girls saw him, right? He looks like he does, dont he? u"
"[Tiff] Ya-huh! Half he clotheses lookid tort ups, and dirty, like he foundeds theiem fromed da forres. ^x^"
"[Bell] *giggles, pats on Patricia* Deedee, Deedeedee. u [He really did, and he kept talking weird. You should've heard him.]"
"[Tiff] 'I will ascend the heavens and become a blah blah blah'! Heheheh! So funinny! ^ ^"
"[Josh] *gives a stare with Cy* ...T-Tiff..You just spoke correct for a second. o .o"
"[Tiff] I diod? Hmm.."
"[Macey] Try to'd spoke like thayat a-gain."
"[Tiff] Ahem..'There was once a man with a huge pair of dick and balls and his name was Dong!' *giggles* Like that?"
"[Josh and Cypress]...PFFFFFTTT! 3 ｡*'｡;;"
"[Macey] *sees Bell laughing and coughing on all fours* S-somathing like that. ^-^;"
"[Josh] Phew. Goodness, Tiff. That was quite the line there. I know what's on your mind. Anyways we aren't all that far from his level. I think we need better speed and better strategies."
"[Macey] Hmmmm..How's about me & Teff do spare tomorrow? Or maybe Thrice & Bail against me?"
"[Josh] *sees Patricia and Bell give her a low-browed look* Uuuh I'll let you talk to them about that, Mace. I dont think they're too happy now. ^ ^;"
"[Cypress] I hope they learn a new move soon...Wait, J! We could get more Z-balls for you and me!"
"[Josh] Yeah, we can build all kinds of ideas with 'em! Great idea, Cy! I guess we'll be huntin' some Zenith goons then. uo"
"[Cypress] See there's the J that I know. ^u^"
"[Josh] Anyways it looks pretty late now, so let's hit the hay."
"[Cypress] *yawns* Yeah..All that explainin' did tire me out..'Night everyone" he told the group and they slept in their respective beds. An hour passes and the night really got dark, say 9:39pm. The two slept peacefully...Til Cy was woken up. "Cy. 'Ey man..Been thinking about them...Feelings with them lately?" Josh lowly asked, "Kinda yeah...I..I wanna start with Triéce...I-I honestly really like her..." he replied, "I'd say go for it..She needs a bit of cheering up. Then again so does Bell for earlier...Well I dont think you can go wrong with either decision" Josh told him, "Ok...Just give me some private time, k?" Cypress replied, and Josh nodded, sneaking away back to his bed. Cy made sure she was asleep and wanted to surprise her, so he waited for her to be in deep sleep for 10 minutes...Well the wait made him feel like a creeper so he went ahead took his shirt off before he held her close to him. "*feels her relaxing more and more; whispers* Hey...'Triēce...Hey.." he said to her, "Aud...? *feels his bare chest* A-Audi? o/o [C-cypress?]" she asked, "I really like you, 'Triēce...You're always so nice to people...And try your best for everyone...I really like how you feel too..*feels on her fat, D-cup breasts* I-I know this feels weird but..Turn around..*feels her turning, gazes into her eyes and how they give a softer look* 'Triēce...*kisses her, swishes her tongue with mine for a moment* Mmmm...I always wanted to kiss you but...Yknow...And your breasts.." he was saying to her, "*feels him suck on a tit, licking the nip too* A-a-audiii~..Aud..-q-" Patricia was moaning, "Is someone having fun in here?" said a not-so-familiar voice, "O/O W-who's there?!" Cypress shouted, waking everyone else up, "*giggles* Just a Salazzle that can smell your pheromones from miles away. *looks to the left bed, seeing how Tiff was on top of Josh (who's naked), and they're frozen in awe* My my my Joshy-boy, you're quick to hop on some Lopunny twin genitalia, aren't you?" Crave teases, "*sees Crave hanging out of the window, coots to the backboard with covers over my body* I-I-It's not what you think! I was just...G-getting cozy" he tried to explain, "Cozy in her cooter, that is ಡUಡ" she corrected, "What the hell're you doing here?!" Josh asked, "To join the action. Why else? *sees everyone drop their jaw* Oh relax Im joking. Im always an option though. *everyone gives a low-brow stare* Anyways I couldn't help but see what y'all exactly do. Vrey and his team are so uptight, so it gets lonely in the Pokeball" she explained, "V-vrey sent you, didnt he?" Cy asked, "Oh he did. *sees him looked shocked* Relax relax. On the way here I saw this Key Stone shop that opened up in the next town. I'd check it out if I were you. Toodles~ 3" Crave informed them and she slithers downwards, remaining untraceable in seconds. "T-that was real nice of her, wasn't it, J? ^-^;;;" Cypress asked, "...'Night, Cy - -" Josh told him and put the covers over himself. Cypress did the same and took his time to go back to sleep...Cuz of That moment there. Even with such an awkward entry as that, Cy still cant wait for tomorrow, to see what Josh's Lopunnys will be like when they Mega Evolve. He's heard about them becoming really aggressive upon transforming but he's optimistic anyway!
Vrey and his team can be seen resting atop a large hill above a forest, only having Void, Chasm and Myth out at the time, watching over Void's children. "*comes up to them* Have you decided what to do with these runts?" Crave asked, "Vrey decided to leave them at a Daycare place. Void doesnt seem to really care about them but he said he'll return to them when this is all over" Myth answers, "Hmph. I've been tired of all this chasing recently. Cmon Myth, we're taking a break from his group for a bit. We're seeing how well the boy and his boyfriend have it" Chasm told her, "*sighs and floats with her* You can get so impatient, Chasm. When it's early afternoon, we're returning to him, ok?" Myth told her back, "*giggles* You two might have some fun with them. Would have better luck than me. *looks over to Void, who stares out into the distance for the sun to come up* What am I to do with you too? Oh well. If he won't rest, I know a gal who will" Crave was saying, scurrying to the tree he was next to, stretching and resting like that. The two Psychics chattered here and there till they got to our main Trainer and his group at the Inn.
What're these two gonna be like when they meet the gang? Where the hell is Josh's dad now? (I didnt get to that part!) Is Deimos gonna be the main big baddy that he sounds like he'll be? How'll he even transcend? Will we even get a fivesome one day and maybe include Crave in it?...That's an idea! BUT you'll have to find out later! Yall seem to like it so i'll try to come back to it after i get my priorities straightened with the other fanfics! Speaking of which, try and keep up with all my other fics that're just way too long!
