Return of the Fiery Watersprite
Running up the path toward them was someone only one of them had seen, while the red hair was familiar the rest of her went through a make-over. Gone were her suspenders and her once her yellow belly shirt was now white in the front while blue in the back Slate couldn't help but notice red bikini top peaking from under it. And her short shorts once a greenish-blue were now a dark blue that (to Slate's silent relief) hugged her hips just as snuggly as before. On her feet were trainers the same colors as her top. On her wrist was an Ocean Blue Xtransceiver(Her Let's Go Outfit).
Much to Giselle's annoyance her travel companion was all smiles as he gave a wave to the unfamiliar girl. "Misty! What's going on."
Rather then answer the now identified Misty glomped onto him wrapping her arms around his neck the force of the flying tackle caused maroon haired girl to fall to the ground.
"Ooh it's so good to see you. How's your journey been? What happened to your hair? Did you miss me? Did you get any badges? Did you catch any new pokemon?" the water specialist leaned back as she smiled at Slate shoting off question after question last one with a look that said she was hoping he caught new water types.
Slate froze for a moment raising a brow as he processed the barrage of questions asked. After a minutes thought he responsed in kind. "My journey's been going good. Training accident. I just got my third badge. I caught a few."
"And yeah Misty I missed you to." Slate smirk on his face as he thought of their first meeting more like the back end more specifically on her backend as she walked away. "All of you."
Noticing the look the red head pinched his nose pulling him down to eye level. "Don't think I didn't see that look on your face. Thinking of something naughty." she growled the blush on her face gave the impression it wasn't unwanted attention. "Remember what I said about were your eye's should be."
"Well our last (first) meeting you were pretty distracting."
She gave a small smile as she playfully slapped his chest. "Pervert."
Slate shrugged nonchalantly and gave an impidimpish smile. "Hey it's not my fault you left such a big lasting impression." He emphasized the word big with a wink.
"HEY!" Not one to be ignored Giselle jumped to her feet making her presense known. "Slate who is this clearly less attractive girl!" She glared at the redhead that drew Slate's attention away from her.
Misty in turn glared back at the girl she never met who had the nerve to insult her. "My name is Misty of the Cerulean City gym. I'm also Slate's rival in the Pokemon League curcuit."
"The Cerulean Gym please I've beaten them more times then I can count." Giselle bragged as she inspected her nails smuggly.
"What!?" No way would her sisters lose to this smug brat.
Seeing the confusion on her face Slate filled in the gaps. "She went to Pokemon Tech." Slate hadn't gotten the chance to see most of the school but one of the students did explain the battle simulation in lieu of of actual battles.
"Oh those guys." Misty slammed her fist into her palm. "We got lost during our travels and we ended there. It seemed pretty dull when we asked around one of there students left so they got all mopey something about "her leaving"."
"Yes I am her the brilliant, beautiful and unbelievably sexy Giselle!" as she introduced herself she quickly moved forward to stand directly in front of Misty. "I also happen to be traveling with Slate as I start my own journey, so I guess that makes me both his rival and traveling companion. I guess that means I beat you twice." She finish leering down at Misty's chest, her sizable rack still paled in comparison to Giselle's massive sweater Growlithes.
Sparks began to fly between the two girls both greatly disliking the girl before them for several reasons unknown to anyone but themselves.
To Slate it was like a stare down between an Electivire and Magmortar. Truly the battle of the ages: Bootylicious Tomboy vs Huge Titted Preppy.
"There you are Misty we-!" A voice Slate has heard before was cut short.
"Brock did you fin-!" a voice Slate knew all to well.
Both voices where cut short when they locked onto the form of the Poketech dropout.
"Ash are you seeing what I'm seeing?!"
"She's real pretty isn't she."
The two spoke as one as they swooned hearts in their eyes as they saw the vision of beauty before them.
Hearing this Giselle put her arms behind her head stick her heavy balls out finishing it with adorable pouty smile. "Hey boys. My names Giselle and I'm a traveling trainer." she said with a wink. Considering they spend all this time with this ugly girl she might as well give them something to remember like finding Rare Candy in the wild only she was much sweeter.
"Guys! Focus!" Misty shouted bringing her fists down on their heads drawing attention back to the situation. Slate however who eyed her black haired companion someone he knew very well.
Standing before him was a youth who like most of the people here was 16 the upper part of the outfit is a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan t-shirt. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, which he used to hang his Poké Balls. He also wears green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, his hat. On his wrist was a white Xtransceiver while on his shoulder was a Pikachu.
"AHH he's so cute!" Giselle squealed rushing forward grabbing the Electric Mouse by the cheeks who rather then get angry like when anyone manhandled it instead moaned out in pleasure as the ex-student began massaging his cheek pouches.
"Did you know Pikachu need to have their the electricity out of there cheeks to relief tension." Giselle explained much to the shock of everyone present. "Without it they can be grouchy, irritable and release the occasional discharge."
"Wow Incredible!" Brock exclaimed actually jotting it down in a notebook. "Your Brilliant!"
"Thank you I've been called that plenty of times."
"Hey Ash how you been?" Slate asked hand out only to recieve a confused expession on the other boys face.
"Hey~" Ash stared at the other teen with a feeling he had seen the teen before, somewhere from before maybe Pallet Town. Listing off the people he knew from there His mom, Gary, Professor Oak, and May. "Ahhhh."
Slate's smile dropped as he instead glared at the teen. "Slate."
"Slate, Slate thats you Slate." Ash said glad to have gotten the name right. "How ya been?" He clasps his hand, wincing as Slate squeezed a little to tight.
"Don't tell him about May. Don't tell him about May. Don't tell him about May." he repeated in his head like a mantra while he'd find the look on Ash's face that he got with Pallet Town Wonder before anyone else. Adding insult to injury knowing Ash's crush on the girl.
"Fine." an annoyed look covered Slate's face. "Let's just skip to the important parts how many pokemon and badges?"
Ash placed a finger under his nose rubbing it with a cheeky smirk on his face. "Along with Pikachu I caught 5 pokemon along with this." Reaching into his pack Ash pulled out a glass container containing an egg with blue spots.
"We helped a daycare during our journey and two baby pokemon follow me and Brock but Ash got an egg it just hasn't hatched yet." Misty explained with a fond smile. "Brock and I." Which dropped as Giselle corrected her grammer.
"Wow you've been on this journey how long and you only caught five and a half pokemon? Great." Slate gave a sarcastic eye roll. But he did eye the egg a little long wondering what it could be.
Picking up the tone Ash growled at his (sorta, kinda, maybe childhood friend). "What's that suppose to mean?!"
Smirk on his face Slate lightly tapped his chin. "Well we all set out on the same day, and I have more badges and twice as many pokemon." The smirk only grew. "Maybe your just slow I'm starting to wonder what Gary sees in you."
"Oh Yeah! I'll have you know my bond with my Pokemon and they are much stronger then yours even if I have less pokemon!"
"Oh yeah-" Despite his rising anger Slate halted as he thought about Ash's team. "How'd you beat Brock?"
"What?" the question stopped Ash mid rant.
"I mean you battled a Rock Gym and I know you were the last one to Professor Oak's lab and most of the Pokemon in Viridian Forest were Bug and Flying types. So did you catch a Water type on the way or what?" Slate asked genuinely curious of how Ash over came the massive type disadvantage.
"Hmph." with a cocky smirk Ash rubbed his finger under his nose. "Getting my first badge." Ash puffed out his chest as he planted his foot onto a nearby rock hoping to look more impressive. "In order to beat Brock I had to dig deep within myself, train like I've never trained before and with the power and bond I share with my pokem.."
"Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the ceiling starting a fire, causing the sprinkler system to go off causing it to rain on Brock's Onyx." Misty interrupted causing the Pallet Native to face fault at the truth being out.
"MISTY!" Ash shouted not needing something as silly as the truth to be revealed.
"Well would you rather I tell them about your battle with my sisters." Ash to flinched as he recalled his battle against one of the Sensational Sisters. He still remember the power of that Seel it only got worse when it evolved into Dewgong and used an Ice Beam freezing Pikachu solid.
Misty remembered it to not for the battle but after when her sisters grilled her about a certain young trainer she met on her little fishing trip. Even now her cheeks would turn red remembering when her sisters all but hauled her into her old room grilling her about the when, where and how she got herself a boyfriend. Even upon clearing the confusion it only got worse when they pressured her to lock it down before someone else tried which was part of the reason for the outfit change. The other was for her debut on the League circuit if your gonna go Pro you better look the part.
Slate tired of the silence turned to the last member of the group. "So Brock what brings you here? Did you have to shut down your gym to be here?"
"Oh no, my dad was a wandering trainer finally returned so now he's running the gym. Now that he's back I have the chance to finally fullfill my own dream to be the World Greatest Pokemon Breeder." The ex-Gym Leader declared.
"Wow a breeder huh, you know this guy I met earlier had a brother who's doing breeding on the side." Before the conversation could continue Ash jumped back into the conversation.
"Hold up back to what you said earlier do you think you'd make a better rival to Gary!?"
"No I'm a better trainer but I wouldn't want to come between the two of you."
"WHAT! There is no way your a better trainer!" Ash shouted as he withdrew a pokeball. "And I'll prove it."
Raising a brow at the challenge Slate shrugged his shoulder as he drew his own Pokeball. "Bring it I haven't battled anyone from Pallet Town since we were kids so this will be just like old times."
Before the Pallet Town natives could finally duke it out two figures stood before them.
"That's enough you two!" Both Misty and Giselle said to there respective traveling companions.
"Ash we just got here, we need to hit the Pokemon Center and prepare for our Gym Battles." The Water trainer said turning to glare at the ex-student. "Somethings aren't worth it."
"Come on Slate we got our badges it's time to get out of here." Giselle met the glare with one of her own. "We're way to good to waste our time with this."
"No way Misty!/ It'll only take a minute!"
Taking no for an answer the two girls grabbed their respective travel buddy by the back of the collars pulling them in seperate directions.
"Sorry Slate we'll have to talk later." Misty's eyes darted over to Giselle. "When were alone." She turned around back to the Center.
"Whatever good luck with Surge." Giselle said over her shoulder her tone thick with sarcasm.
"Nidoqueen Tittied Brat./Rapidash Assed Tomboy." They both whispered under their breath.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY!?"
The two shouted seconds later the two were back in each other's faces."You got a problem Miltank Tits!"
"Yeah it involves this girl with a Garbodor Butt who thinks she's better then what she is."
"Well that's be a shocker unless she was better then you." Misty placed her hands on her hips
Giselle met the glare with one of her own crossing her arms over her chest. "What's that suppose to mean?" How dare this girl thinks she better then her.
"It's exactly what it sounds like." Time to put this spoiled brat in her place. "How about I prove it with a Pokemon Battle."
"Oh bring it on. I've beaten your gym more times then I can count now I get to do it in person."
Hearing this Ash looked to Slate who looked just as confused. "I thought we were suppose to battle?"
"DOUBLE BATTLE!" The two said in unison as they dragged their travel buddies to the field.
]P[
"This escalated quickly." Now on opposing fields Slate looked between the current situation. Despite this being a team battle the original flames of battle between him and Ash were transfered to Misty and Giselle both looked if not for their pokemon the two would just come to blows themselves. "Kinda weird this is how we meet up again Misty?"
"Actually I think this is better, finally a chance to see if your real rival material," The red finished with a wink on that Giselle noticed by the sour look on her face.
"Everyone uses one pokemon each the team." Brock declared acting as the ref for the battle.
Being the most excited Ash wasted no time making his choice. "Charmander I choose you." out came a familiar orange salamander with a fire on its tail.
Slate stood dumbfounded at the sight. "Seriously am I the only one who doesn't have one of those?"
Confusing the look for shock and awe Ash rubbed his finger under his nose smuggly. "Yeah this will be a cinch."
"My turn, come on out Sandshrew!" With a throw of a pokeball out came a Sandshrew however this one's body is a light, icy blue, with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Thicker plates form a dome around its head, and its ears resemble an igloo's entrances.
"WOOAAAAHHHH! Do you see that thing." Ash shouted pulling out his pokedex for a quick scan.
"This was an Alolan Sandshrew." Brock said eyeing the foreign pokemon knowing what it was but missing things like types and movesets. "Ash, Misty watch out that's a pokemon out of the Kanto region."
Misty scoffed it didn't matter if it was an other region Pokemon she was still gonna win.
Slate simply looked at the Alola native pokemon. "Could have sworen you'd go with Squirtle."
[Cue Record Scratch] "Squirtle! She has a Squirtle?!" Misty shouted in outrage had could this spoiled rich brat have both a huge rack that can rival her sisters and Kanto starter the one she's dreamed of having since she was a little girl.
Noticing the look of Misty's soul leaving her body Giselle decided to twist the knife. "Oh yes during our journey we had an encounter with a few Squirtles. That sort of thing happens when your me."
Slate raised a brow at the vague response. "I caught all but one of them and let her catch the last one, at the time she only had Ground types so I figured she could use some variety to her team."
Hearing this Misty stared into Slate's eyes without a hint of emotion on her face. "We need to talk when this is over." She quickly pulled out a pokeball of her own. "Go Staryu."
Being the last to make a choice Slate eyed every Pokemon on the field. "Hmm I guess I'll use a first stage evolution."
"Throwdown Gible." Upon being released the Dragon/Ground type looked around upon spotting the Chamander across the field he began jumping around shouting excitedly.
"Gible Gible Gible!"
"No that's not a dragon type."
"Gible!"
"I know it's surprising it's a fire type."
"Gible Gible!" the Land Shark lifted his little claw into the air as high as he could.
"No not even when he evolves. It'll just look like a dragon."
"GIBLE!?"
"He evolves into a Fire/Flying type. If you looking for a Dragon type Kanto is pretty bare we only have Dragonite and Kingdra."
Understanding the context of the conversation Giselle decided to showoff a little more. "Actually Alola Exeggutor is a Grass/Dragon type if it helps."
"Really?!" Everyone said surprised by the news.
"Yes and did you know that the Hoenn starter Treecko is apart of the Dragon line even though it's final stage remains a pure Grass type." Giselle finished the lecture smug smile on her face, hands on her hips, chest out her huge milkers jiggling like a Ditto.
"Alright so we ready to do this?" Misty growled looking over to Brock who like Ash couldn't take there eyes off the twin peaks as they bounced in her tanktop, the jacket doing nothing to cover them.
She looked over to Slate who had a look that said this has happened more then once. "She won at least 4 battles on the way here cause of those."
"BROCK!"
"Oh right." Brock wiped the drool from his mouth. "This is a two v two double battle neither team may change there pokemon. Which ever team has a remaining pokemon wins."
"Right!" the trainers all agreed.
"Charmander use Flamethrower on Sandshrew." With a quick inhale the fire starter released a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth at the opponent.
"Block it with Rock Tomb!" before the burning stream could hit the Artic Mouse four large boulders block its path.
"Hey you can't do that!" Ash shouted clearly not knowing the rules of a double battle.
"Ash in a Double Battle both teams work together to win the battle." Slate explained with a confused look on his face. "Didn't you learn that at the Cerulean Gym?" They challenged him to a double battle so it must be a standard right.
"No they didn't they probably saw Pikachu and knew that would be a waste of time." Said Pikachu could only shake his head. He shivered still remembers the freezing from that Dewgong.
"Ash focus!" Misty shouted just cause he won two badges he thinks he's the greatest trainer of all time. Everytime be battles anyone he insists on showing off the badges and it hasn't impressed everyone, like that kid AJ boy he had a chip on his shoulder. "Staryu get rid of the rocks with Psybeam!" The red gem on front of the Star Shape pokemon glowed as it releases a multicolored beam from it at the rocks guarding it's opponent.
Rather then wait for the attack a smirk full of mischief Giselle locked onto Misty."Use Roll Out followed by Fury Cutter!" Curling into a ball the Ice/Steel type rolled into the rock using it as a ramp soaring over the multicolored beam. Sandshrew uncurled before putting its hands glowed light green before slashing at the Star Shape Pokemon.
"Quick Staryu use Minimize." with a cry the Water type glows a pinkish-purple color and shrinks down the slipping and weaving through the Bug type. After dodging the attack the Star pokemon was able to get some distance as it regains its original size.
"Dragon Breath/Flamethrower!" The Charmander released a stream of fire that Gible jumped over before releasing light green blast that Charmander rolled out of the way dodging the attack. Rushing forward Charmander extended his claws attempting to use Scratch this was a bad idea as Gible met the claw with the more powerful Metal Claw slashing it across the chin sending it skyward.
"Pay attention Giselle!"
"Flamethrower!"
Sandshrew distracted by the failed attack was unable to dodge the stream of fire coming in fast.
"Defense Curl!" Giselle shouted hoping to reduce the damge as Sandshrew curled but into a ball as the flames engulfed the Alolan pokemon.
"Bulldoze!" Gible stomped on the ground creating a shock wave. Chamander unable to move due to holding the stream couldn't move in time as the shock wave sent it soaring through the air to the ground. "Dragon Breath!"
"Chamander dodge!"
"GIB-LE!" With a cry of his Gible released a thick green beam from his mouth engulfing his opponet in a Dragon Breathe the attack stirring up dust. Unlike Surge's Geodude the fire type wasn't built for tanking hits.
"RAPID SPIN!" Both Misty and Giselle shouted at the call Staryu soars through the sky spining like a saw blade at the same time Sandshrew spins around with the front part of its body facing the ground as they crashed into each other. Neither gave up as the two got up only to do it again and again. The mulitiple impacts caused the two eventually lose their spin as they bounced off of each other sending both to the ground.
"Gible hit Staryu with Tackle!" Gible rushed ready to slam the Water type with the most basic attack in existance.
"Charmander!" Ash cried as he watched his fire starter scream in pain knowing he had to do something he made the only call he could think of. "Skull Bash!" A fierce look covered his face as his eyes shot open Chamander hurled himself through the dragon move.
"Staryu Water Gun!" Jumping to it's feet the Staryu floated off the ground as it released a stream of water from all of its limbs at once. The five pronged attack blasted the rushing Land Shark pokemon sending him flying.
As Gible fell backwards a green bullet intercepted him as it fell from the sky crashing into him sending into the ground. When the dust cleared everyone saw Charmander and Gible both clearly injuried locked claw to claw glaring daggers at each other.
"Charmander push him back!" Ash cheered thinking this was their chance to turn this battle around.
"Hold him still." Slate said nothing else as he watched his Pokemon stand still unmoving not even struggling to hold back Ash's. This told Slate all he needed despite catching a starter Ash clearly didn't train his pokemon as much as he should. "I should start training Squirtle." No way was he going to let a pokemon on his team be a lightweight.
"Rollout!" Locked in the grapple Charmander could do nothing as a white ball ran him over. Things only got worse as Gible began spinning him around and around like a mini tornado before tossing him across the field landing face first knocking him out.
"Charmander no!"
"Staryu hit'em with Swift!" With a cry of it's name Staryu fires multiple yellow stars from the gem in the center of its body. As Sandshrew continued to roll out of range of the normal move Gible wasn't so lucky having all the stars focused purely on him pelleting him in the stars.
"Sandshrew use Metal Claw!"/Staryu counter with Confuse Ray!" Sandshrew rushed forward as its claw glowed grey filled with steel type energy just as multiple purple balls of energy surrounded Staryu once the ice/steel type crashed into the ghost move everything began to spin.
This didn't stop Sandshrew who threw the strongest Metal Claw it could sending whatever it hit into the ground. Not letting up it began raining blow after blow on the subject of it's assault.
"Giselle!?"
"Sandshrew stop!"
Without the privilege of sight Sandshrew had no idea it was actually attacking Gible who so shocked by the friendly fire was unable to counter or even block the first few hits.
"Gible Sand Attack!" Digging his claw in the ground the land shark tossed sand into the Mouse pokemon's face it's eyes hurting even more giving Gible the chance to kick it off him with a look of pure anger on his face.
"Oh crap. Gible stop!" Now angry enough to actually ignore his trainer Gible stomped on the ground again creating a shock wave blasting Sandshrew into a tree knocking it out.
Before Slate could make a command a heavy stream of water blasted Gible sending him to the ground.
"Good Job Staryu." Misty tired of being ignored decided to set up for the finale. "Got to pay attention Slate." Misty wagged her finger as she gave the Pallet native a wink.
"Gible you still up for a another round?" Slate asked as he watched Gible slowly get back to his feet his earlier anger gone now focused on the Star Pokemon panting heavily as he did so.
"Staryu lets finish this." Misty told her mon knowing this battle has taken a lot of it while it hadn't taken much damage it did use a lot of moves draining it's energy.
"Psybeam!"
"Dragon Breath!"
Jumping back for some distance the two combatants stared each other down green energy began forming in Gibles mouth as multicolored power formed in Staryu's gem.
"Fire!"
The two beams soared through the air each with whatever power the two had left in the tank. Shockwaves echoed as the beams clashed one side trying to overpower the other.
BOOM
The combined blast caused an explosion creating a dust cloud obscuring everyones vision. As the dust cleared only one Pokemon stood, it may not have been the cleanest victory but it counted:
