​

AJ's right hand reached immediatly to the mysterious Pokemon's ball. Knowing that It would be the best way to keep the assaulting pokemon busy. He grasped the handle of his knife as he threw the ball knowing full well, he would have to use it; from behind a Bright light, the pokemon emerged, standing just in front of AJ. It was still holding his hoodie in its hands, unaware of the situation at hand.

The enemy Lombre rushed forward towards his pokemon, flailing it's arms wildly. Much to AJ's surprise, the mysterious pokemon reacted by manuevering the hoodie around one of the Attackers Flailing Arms and Threw the Lombre into the ground. AJ's adrenaline Began pumping, as he knew that his Pokemon was ready and capable for the skirmish. Then a faint reminder floated through his mind, warning him that he didn't even know this pokemon's species, Let alone any of its Moves.

"Hark! I need to know what kind of pokemon I'm using , and what moves It has!" AJ Shouted, concerned that His pokemon would disobey him otherwise.

Hark hadn't moved too far away from AJ, when AJ asked what type Pokemon he just released. Hark watched AJ's Pokemon for a second before returning to AJ. Hark handed AJ the modified sunglasses while saying, "I told you to distract their Pokemon not me. Use this so you don't have to keep asking me questions, if it breaks you're paying for the replacement."

Hark then started moving toward the trainers as the Machop turned the Lombre into a rag doll. The man charged forward and hit Hark hard in the chest. The results were terrifying to the man as Hark barely flinched thanks to his high tolerance to pain, in fact the attack made Hark smile a little as he headbutted the man. The man stumbled backwards only to catch a haymaker punch to his temple from Hark's metal fist.

Hark watched the man's body crumble to the floor as the powerful blow knocked the punk out. Looking up at the leader Hark had a passive look on his face as he said, "Leave now or you're next... and I will not be as gentle with you."

Now that he had a way to identify his new pokemon, AJ turned his attention to the stunned Lombre.

"Machop! Focus your energy into a Karate chop!", He commanded.

The Machop closed its eyes, and held the hoodie out like a pair of nun-chuks. Meanwhile the Lombre had managed to recover, and began to charge once more. As the lombre closed within 5 feet, the machop's eyes suddenly opened, and his right hand began to Glow white. The machop struck with lightning fast speed, dealing serious damage to the Lombre and knocking it out.

"That was pretty damn sweet!", AJ exclaimed. Just then he was tackled to the ground by a Mightyena.

AJ struggled to hold the ferocious Pokemon off of him, unable to maneuver his knife to defend himself. The Machop Rushed over and applied a High Jump Kick straight to the mightyena's ribs. The Mightyena was thrown off of AJ and into the wall. As he struggle to get up, The small Machop stared at him intently, as if waiting for further Instruction.

AJ looked around the room, acessing the current situation. Hark looked like he had his stuff handled. Then his eyes fell upon Akito, as he watched the events pan out in front of him.

'There's a bit too much of action in this room.' thought Akito. Hark and AJ had taken out one of the other two guys and it was time to deal with the other two; one of which Hark had cornered.

"Now, that guy's warned you. Don't try anything funny." Akito said while advancing slowly onto the third bad guy, he was a small man with a tiny Snubbull.

"I didn't do anything." he stammered, "It was him," he pointed at the owner of the Mightyena. "We just came to get that bastard AJ."

Akito turned his attention to the Leader, who was attempting to conceal a red object behind his back. "Hercules, use Bullet Seed there " he shouted, pointing at a spot near the man. Hercules spat out the seeds, only to miss the man by inches. The Leader jeered, "Missed," and threw his head back laughing while throwing his pokeball down. There was a white light and out came a Nidorino.

"Who said I was aiming at you?" Akito chuckled . The guy's smile quickly dissapeared when he saw a wooden beam above him, sagging low above his head, unable to support itself any longer. Before he could react, the beam fell straight onto him, knocking him out and pinning him to the floor. The Nidorino looked around confused and was cornered by Hercules and Vulcan.

"Well, that was odd." Akito smiled at Hark and AJ. His leg started paining a bit but he managed to stay. "So, what was all that about?" he asked. Glancing at the old woman who lay down on the ground he added, "And what do you think we should do with her?"

Seeing his comrades go down the third man and his Snubbull turned around and made a run for it. He ended up tripping as he ran out the door, but was back up on his feet in a few seconds and back to frantically running away. Hark just watched the man as he ran away. "Well at least one of them has a tiny bit of intelligence," muttered Hark as he turned around to face toward his "allies."

Hark walked up to AJ and held out his hand to get his sunglasses back. "So how did you associate yourself with such idiots? By their mannerisms and pack like nature, I'm guessing they are some thugs likely linked to a gang or perhaps one of those pathetic "teams" that seem to pop up in every region. Guessing you did something to anger them, ex member or owe them something I'm guessing," said Hark as he looked into AJ's eyes to see if he was correct on his guess. Hark was more interested in what this man who had got him into this fight was, than the old woman. In fact the only thing about the woman that might concern him is if she tried to sue or at least try in blame him for the damage caused.

Nara peaked her head out of the kitchen where she had been hiding and slowly walked up toward AJ and Hark while surveying the room. Hark didn't notice his cowardly Pokemon as she stood a few feet away from him. Nara started to stare at Akito's pokemon with a cautious look, like an animal watching a potential predator.

AJ was surprised by how correct Hark's guess was, handing the sunglasses back, while he was forming an answer. He knew he didn't want to come off as a bad guy, as these two trainers seemed like they were much more refined trainers than he was.

"Well I used to be part of Team Magma, until they dissolved" AJ's thoughts became distant as he tried to think of a way to make himself soundmore friendly.

"But that was a long time ago, and I've had a lot of time to think about how criminal the team was since then", he continued.

"The reason they were chasing me, was that apparently I had incurred a debt to them and they were going to take my only friend away for payment" he finished, hoping that this satisfied Hark's question. He then turned his attention to the old lady, and moreover to the condition of the house.

"I think we should call the mauville city police" He stated, pointing to a phone in the rest area.

"They'd be able to sort out this situation, and these two fools would be likely to be fitted with the bill, instead of us. Besides It is pretty much a simple case of self defense." He stated, hoping to appeal to the other two trainer's side of Just nature.

Soon Cypher had rejoined him, and the Machop had decided to put the sweater on. AJ returned the Machop to his ball after congradulating the pokemon on a job well done. He then turned his attention back to Hark and Akito, hoping to recieve a positive response from them.

Hark lifted an eyebrow as AJ admitted to being a part of Team Magma. "Did you actually believe in their idiotic goal?" asked Hark as he shook his head. Refocusing on AJ's other question Hark replied, "Calling the police might be a good course of action. Perhaps they will think us the victims, or perhaps they will try to persecute us. Either way we need to get medical attention to the woman and these thugs. I don't want this escalating anymore than it already has, and if someone dies then we will all be in a lot of trouble self defense or not. Some officers think self defense is limited to using ones Pokemon against the attacker's Pokemon. Hopefully we will encounter less idiotic public servants."

"I understand what you mean perfectly." Akito shook his head remembering the time when that drunken police officer came into his house just before Christmas. 'Anyway, I'll call them up."

Hark surveyed the damaged room and spotted Nara standing there staring at Akiko's Pokemon. "Nice for you to join us Nara. Hope you didn't get hurt while hiding from the fight," said Hark sarcastically to his pokemon. Nara shot Hark a hostile glare and Hark shook his head and muttered, "Coward."

Hercules looked at Nara and the brief exchange she and her master were having. She seemed somewhat afraid of of Vulcan and him. The Nidorino was lying on the floor, looking as if a lawnmower had run it over. He also saw his master walking over to the rest area and dialling a number on the phone.

~ ~ ~ ~ After the trio agreed on the matter, the Mauville City police were called and arrived rougly half an hour later to take witness reports. The two incapacitated attackers were taken into custody and by afternoon, the incident had been wrapped up. ~ ~ ~ ~

The police of Mauville were surprisingly efficient. They could make out when someone was telling the truth and the operation went smoothly. Akito gave his address just in case they wanted some information and watched as they carried the old woman to the hospital.

"Well, that went well." Akito smiled while saying these words. "Anyway, the name's Akito. I believe your Hark and your AJ?" he said pointing at them respectively.

"Anyway, I hope to see you soon. Bye," Akito slung his bagpack over his shoulders and walked out of the wrecked hotel. He returned Vulcan back to his pokeball and continued along his merry way.

Hark gave one of the officers a description of the woman who had his Ralts and spun a rather elaborate lie behind his "escape" and the thief of his pokemon. This lie was helped by the fact it was more believable than the actual truth to the officers. After insuring the officers had Hark's version of the story down he turned and walked back toward AJ and Akito, who had pointed at him. When Akito said his good bye, Hark just nodded to him.

Hark then turned to AJ and said, "I need to get back to searching for my other Pokemon." Hark then turned and walked out of the building with his Mawile slowly following behind him.

AJ stood in the empty rest house and watched both Hark and Akito headed off into the Horizon. He couldn't help but wonder what new adventures lay ahead for him to experience. He did know one thing though, It's easier to pickpocket people while they are in handcuffs then it is when fighting them. Stuffing the money he had procured from the attackers into his bag, deciding to head towards Mauville.

Cypher showed a hint of disappointment as they walked, AJ defended himself with the same tired argument.

"Hey, It's not like they can use the cash in jail. It's more useful in our hands than theirs anyways." He paused, deciding to add one more detail. "After all old habits die hard"

"So whaddya think about those guys. Hark and AJ?" Hercules questioned Vulcan as they walked along the path, beside their master.

Vulcan was somewhat solemn and disturbed. Although, beating that Nidorino made him feel much better, the thrashing he had received from the Pancham - Ares still remained in his mind. Somewhat absent-mindedly he replied, "They seemed okay. That Hark was pretty hard on his Mawile though."

Hercules shrugged, "But that Mawile didn't dare do anything her master told her. Even if she was caught recently, that thing needed to have some guts. I wonder how she managed to survive in the wild?"

"God knows." Vulcan replied sleepily. Hercules looked at Vulcan and said, "Dude, you don't have to be that depressed about losing against that Pancham. Winning and losing is pat of life."

"You sound like one of those professors you told me about who teach the human world." Vulcan replied softly. Both looked at each other and burst out laughing. They were interrupted by Akito's screams, "OHMYGOD!AGOLDENCOLORMAGIKARP!!!"

They both turned around and without a doubt they saw it jumping out of the lake with a normal Magikarp.

"Vulcan, return!" Akito shouted with glee, returning Vulcan to his pokeball. "Hercules Bullet Seed that golden Magikarp." Akito ordered.

The golden Magikarp in the meantime was having a conversation with his friend. "I can't wait to evolve into a Gyrados Magikarp!"

His friend replied "Same here Magikarp." Bullet Seed smashed into the golden Magikarp who fell into the water straight away.

"Oh yeah," Akito muttered softly under his breath. He took a Pokeball from his pocket and thre it at the golden Magikarp who suddenly seemed infuriated and was jumping in the air.

"Sorry Magikarp, but you were always the loser among us." the golden Magikarp said as he smashed the pokeball with his tail onto the other Magikarp, disappearing underwater.

The Magikarp went into the pokeball which could apparently have floating properties began shaking in the water. Akito on the other hand seemed t have switched his mood with Vulcan.

Chapter Four: Sparks Fly!

Mauville City​

Having travelled (from Lavaridge) Jagged Pass, Mt. Chimney, Route 112 and Southern Route 111 you have finally arrived in Mauville, a fairly decently sized city of the Hoenn region and its most central location. Here there are frequent tournaments, contests and the Mauville gym to keep trainers entertained as well as Hoenn's famous Game Corner and Rydel's Cycle Shop.

Here you will meet both friends and rivals as trainers from various parts of Hoenn converge on the city. Wild pokemon aren't to be caught within the city (the battles cause too much chaos), but having journeyed so far you're bound to have captured at least two pokemon (the number used in a Mauville gym battle as well as the number required for contests). Some notable locations include;
• The Game Corner: Whilst gambling is off-limits to younger characters (those below 18) there are plenty of games that deal only in counters that can still be exchanged for some smaller prizes.

• Mauville Contest Hall: Whilst not as grand a location for contests as the halls found in Slateport and Lillycove it is still a fairly imposing building – an elegant theatre-like structure with a modernised look. Two compete in the contest being held trainers require two pokemon, one for the appeals round and one for a contest battle.

• Rydel's Cycle Shop: Rydel's shop sells top-notch varieties of bicycles and now rollerblades and skateboards also. If you can afford these things you will be able to access the cycling road later on.

• Mauville Gym: The Mauville gym is a fairly large, modernised building located near the northwest of the city. In this gym you must compete with two pokemon and only the challenger will be able to make switches.
​

Wattson, the leader of the gym, is a jolly, kind-hearted and somewhat insane old man that is nearing the end of his career as a gym leader. This being said he is a heated competitor who is not afraid to use his experience to his advantage. He will compete with two of these pokemon;
• Chinchou (Volt Absorb) – Confuse Ray, Water Gun, Thunderbolt, Signal Beam
• Magnemite (Sturdy) – Magnet Bomb, Shock Wave, Thunder Wave, Sonicboom
• Voltorb (Static) – Electro Ball, Magnet Rise, Rollout, Magic Coat
• Flaafy (Static) – Charge Beam, Cotton Spore, Charge, Fire Punch
• Elekid (Vital Spirit) – Brick Break, Quick Attack, Thunder Punch, Meditate
• Manectric (Static) – Discharge, Flamethrower, Light Screen, Ice Fang

You may begin concluding the IC day for the current chapter and then move into this one when you are ready. The roster for the gym is currently as follows



The contest currently consists of the below schedule (to occur the day after the gym battles)

Akito looked at the floating pokeball which held his newly caught Magikarp. It had stopped shaking. So he slowly walked over to the ball which had come down to the shore. Fingers trembling, he picked it up and gazed sadly into the pokeball. After a few moments in which he contemplated whether or not to release the pokemon or keep it, he made his choice. 'I'll keep it.' he thought. 'Although this thing better be useful and that I need to keep it inside it's pokeball until we get to Mauville. Then I can get a bucket of water or something.'

He then headed off in the direction of Mauville City. He was able to make out the shapes of huge imposing skyscrapers in the distance. The fresh country air started to get the slight smokey smell that is commonly associated with a busy city. Akito, Vulcan and Hercules eventually reached Mauville City, the city who's name bore a resemblance to a certain pokemon.


After travelling through Mauville which was filled with bright lights and looked beautiful while the dusk was falling, Akito reached a huge house. It wasn't the usual apartments that most of the people lived in, but a huge bungalow that gave out an atmosphere of luxury and sleekness. The backyard was huge and located behind the structure that was made of rough stones, which made it look even better. Akito knocked on the wooden door that was carved with pictures of Pyroar.

He was greeted by a tall old man who was as thin as a stick. He wore round glasses and had silver hair that shone brightly in the darkness. He was wearing light brown shorts and a red sweater. The man looked at Akito for a bit before realizing who he was, "Akito my boy," Nicholas Atkinson said wrapping his arms around Akito. "How is dad? I hope you're feeling fine. Bruce told me that you got hurt." He chattered mercilessly before Akito asked him whether he could come inside the house.

"Ah, yes of course Akito son. Come inside," he said. After asking Akito whether he wanted anything a million times, Akito finally managed to go up to his room. His room was about as huge as the hotel he stayed in where he fought the goons who had gone after AJ. The room had open windows which gave a brilliant view of the big city outside. After having a shower and changing his clothes Akito went down where he met Bruce. After chatting for a while about boring things that Akito didn't really like, Bruce said, "What about we go to the Game Corner? Anyway, you're wearing Tuxedo Akito." Bruce said.

Akito just realized that he had randomly worn a tuxedo which he had never seen in his life. In order to cover for it he said, "All righty, let's go Bruce."

Amelia ran towards the exit of Vendanturf Town. She could already smell the fresh bright colors of the flowers ahead. She remembered what her cousin had said. "Make sure to catch a few Pokémon before you challenge the Gym Leader"! She looked around, but saw no grass that was able to behold Pokémon in it. Suddenly, a small, purple thing ran across the path, leaving Amelia in confusion. "What was that? It looked like a Pokémon! At least I know that there's Pokémon here. That's a good sign!" She headed forwards, until she came across a man who looked similar to a Guide Gent. She asked him "What Pokémon can you catch here?" He replied "Hmm... let's see. Oddish, Marill, Seedot and Zigzagoon. That's what I've seen here. Maybe there's a few more Pokémon hiding around that I haven't seen. Go a little further, you should be able to find a few Pokémon there."

Amelia ran towards the grass. She was curious; what would she find, and would she be able to catch it? Releasing Zep out of his Pokéball, they run into the grass. After looking for a while, she found nothing. Nothing at all. Maybe she needed to stay quiet? She didn't know what to do. After several hours of searching, she came across a Youngster called Bennett. Before she could speak, she was challenged to a battle. Her first one. She thought in her head "Can I win? Can I do this? I'll put my trust into Zep, and I'm sure we can win. He's so determined!" The Youngster sent out a Pokémon that had flowers instead of arms. Amelia squealed in exitement, by how cute it is. Zep snaps her out of it and she positions Zep into battle.

"Yes! Zep and I can do it! I'm sure we can. We both have trust in each other". Before even Amelia could react, Bennett calls out "Roselia! Use Tackle!". So it was called Roselia. The Roselia charged for Zep, and before they could do anything; Zep was pushed away. "Zep! Please, get up! You can do it!" The rush of adrenaline boosted Zep back onto his feet. Amelia swiftly commanded "Zep! Go for a real hard Wake-Up Slap! Zep's speed was undoubedtly better then Roselia's. In no time, Roselia was hit harshly by the attack, and it lay on the floor, motionless. "Did... I just win?" The Youngster sighed, then gave some Pokédollars to Amelia. She shouted in joy " I did it! Yes! I was right!" She giggles after a short while, then asks for a few tips on how to get into a wild Pokémon battle.​
