Chapter Two: Beautiful Devil
Mightyena GO! Yelled the trainers as their pokemon took a fighting stance in front of Yuki and Kino.
SO, you got us into this want do we do? Asked Kino
Heh, its easy, we just hit them with our strongest pokemon, GO! RAICHU! Yelled Yuki as he threw out a pokeball, the ball bursted in the air revealing a small brown rodent standing on its tail.
Kino gives off a shrug as he released his pokemon. All right here we Quilava GO! yelled Kino as his Quilava materialized out of its pokeball, now two pokemon stood facing two pokemon.
Ok, just be careful, we dont have the best luck with tag match remember. Said Yuki
Oh sure, he remembers weve never won a single tag teambrilliant thinker I gotanyways onto battle! Quilava ember! Yelled Kino
The pokemon warmed up its flame as it started running towards the mightyena unleashing a powerful array of fire at each of the two pokemon. Quilava quickly returns to Kinos side as it lifts its head proudly.
My turn, ready Raichu?
Raichu have a grunt as it came to its feet.
Now, thunder attack! yelled Yuki
Raichu looked up to the sky as the blue clods slowly drifted away and became a sky full black and grey clouds as a yellow flowing beam of light came down striking Raichu. Raichu jumps back to its tail and sends the attack at the mightyena knocking them back off their feet.
See, told you not to underestimate us! Yelled Yuki.
...and we told you, you have no idea what youre in formighty use your Vagabond now! yelled both bikers.
A small necklace around the necks of both of the mightyena slowly began to glow a dark red as the two pokemon rose to their feet. The pokemon looked like zombies now, as if the bodies were puppets.
No waythose two attack to strong to lose to Said Yuki before trailing off his sentence in shock.
Look at them, their eyes are all white no pupil, Ive never seen a pokemon like this, even in a blind ragesomethings wrong. Muttered Kino as he grasped his hands while he tried to think of a plan. This battle hasnt even been going for five minutes and, what are these things? Thought Kino to himself.
Vaga-BITE! yelled both of the bikers.
The two mightyena attacked in a trance like state. Their mouth began to glow blue as the unleashed a energy attack from their mouths in the form of a pair of jaws claming into Raichu and knocking it out cold. Quilava easily managed to dodge it and tried to unleash a flamethrower, but was caught off guard by another attack from the enemy pokemon.
What in the world is this? These pokemon are unconscious but theyre still fighting? What are these guys? Thought Kino in shock as he tried to recall his fainted Quilava.
Nope, too late we said we get to keep your pokemon, we already have enough map parts, but your pokemon will do well for us Commanded one of the bikers
Both of the bikers took out a small black pokeball with a red infinity sign on it and hurled it at the Quilava and Raichu. The two pokemon were recalled to the other evil pokballs in a instant
Now, well be taking the other kids pokemon Remarked a biker as he tossed out two more dark pokeballs to capture the pokemon of the other kids.
The two enemies took a look at the four new pokemon they had and walked off; leaving Yuki and Kino is a state of shock.
Darn it! I know we could have beat themwe DID beat them what were those things they had?! yelled Yuki as he began to walk away from the crowd.
Idiot, forgot all about the kids, huh? Kino thought to himself. Kino grabbed two pokeballs from his cuff and walked over to the two boys that had lost their pokemon.
The tear brown eyed boys stepped back a little as Kino came up to them. With a smile Kino handed each of the two boys a pokeball from his hand.
Lets see, you two are only whatten or twelve? Bad idea to step into something this big, but dont worry about it. I was going to raise these two evee for contest, but I think they would have a better home with you two, you lost your map parts, so youre out of the tournament, train with these pokemon so more and you might just be good enough to win a tournament in a few years. Smirked Kino as he began to walk away.
Thank you! Yelled both boys at once.
Sure, no problemjust take care of them! Yelled back Kino as he walked off.
The crowd began to break away as the battle had ended. Kino looked around at the top of the hill, he saw Yuki sitting by a grassy area surrounding a small lake. Kino ran down to him as fast as he could.
Hey! Just what the hell is your problem?! Yelled Kino as he came to Yukis side. You could have at least stayed and said you were sorry for losing to those kids! It was your bright idea to help them out and we lost, you should have taken responsibility and not just walked off like a KID!
ImI thought we could Yuki trailed off as he was talking.
Kino grabbed Yukis shirt with his fist and looked at him in the eyes, Yukis eyes were bland and lifeless as if he was lost in something else.
God! You know its your fault and Im not going to feel sorry for you this time! Yelled Kino as he punched Yuki in the stomach Finish it on your ownfind the location on your own, dont follow me around anymore Whispered Kino as he slowly walked away from Yuki.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You fool! How could you? Yelled a man in a blue robe, his face shrouded by the robes hood.
Masterplease forgive us, we got two pokemon as you asked! begged the two biker boys.
You know we cant let anyone find out about the vagabond yet, and with that fool Erma running around looking for his two predecessors, we cant have anyone know of them yet not yet. You both have failed me and I will not tolerate failure in our plans. The robed man took out two orange pokeballs from his robe and aimed it at the boys.
No sir, please we promise we...AHHH! Yelled the two boys as a yellow beam of light wrapped around their bodies and returned them to the orange pokeballs.
Hump, useless servants anyways, at least I got their pokemon before I returned them to their ball. Said the man as he carelessly tossed the pokeballs to the ground and walked off into a dark hallway.
I will not fail you father! This is our dream and Erma and his bloodline will pay for what they did to our city
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A new day had risen up Johto, Kino had camped on a beach, and he had just finished putting up his camp site as the waves crashed against the sandy shore. The sky was blue and light, unlike the sky from the battle of the night before. A Crabby passed by, eating as small shell it had found.
Kino laughed a little as he saw he pokemon get its food stolen by another Crabby. Once packed up Kino began to walk along the shore line, looking at the docks that lined the entire beach area for as far as the eye could see.
Wow, I cant believe I came this far on my own, well since I gave those two boys my pokemon yesterdayI only have three leftBlastoise, Swellow, and Vaporeon. Maybe I can try and catch another before I leave Blackthorn, oh well A voice interrupted Kino, coming from behind a blue haired girl came running up to him, her black skirt dress waved in the wind as she ran up to him.
Hi! Are you Kino Nika from Ruby city? Asked the girl trying to catch her breath.
Uh, ya thats me what do you need? Kino kindly responded.
My friend, Kina wanted to know if she could battle you. She saw the match you had yesterday and thought that you would make a good opponentand she kind of thinks youre cute.
Kino gave a silent nod yes as he blushed and his face grew a bright red.
Ok, thats great you can meet her at the other end of the beach in four hours, dont be lateplus she wanted to ask you for your help on something. Said the girl as she ran off.
Kino began his walk up the boardwalk and into the city, he passed many trainers battling, a few of the stores he passed were giving out free supplies if some of the better known trainers stopped there.
Hmm, that would be perfect for me if I was well knownbut nothing for mejust gotta go get me something to eat! Groaned Kino as he stepped into a small diner with a Pikachu eating a bowel of rice on the sign on top of the diner.
Kino found a small booth and sat down as a waiter came to him, the man in white uniform handed him a menu and Kino picked his order as the man walked off. Kino sat looking at the window next to him, staring out Kino thought of what he had done last night.
Maybe, I shouldnt have been so hard on Yuki, after allthat was our first tag team since the silver conferenceand our first since his dad died. Still though, even if we lost he could have said something to those kidsinstead of leaving me to pay the bills with my evee Thought Kino to himself as a man in blue and red striped shirt and black pants came and sat down in the seat across from him in the booth, his wild blue hair made him seem taller then he really was.
Oh hi, my names Miki, I was wondering if I could sit here. All the other booths are taken, as are the tables, and Im really hungrySaid Miki
Sure, umm hey I see thats a Battle cuff around your wrist, are you in that tournament as well? Asked Kino.
Ya, I got in at the Kanto sign ups a few weeks ago, still Ive only managed to get two map parts in three weeks. I came here to look for competition; it seems you only have one part as well.
I had one battle yesterday, but Id rather not talk about itit was a loss for me. Replied Kino
Dont feel bad about it; Ive already lost two times in this thing, so Im trying to be careful about who I challenge next
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So are you sure he is coming here? Asked a brown haired girl, wearing a short skirt and blue vest, her long blue hair was tied up as to not get blown in the wind.
Dont worry sis, he is coming I know it, but do you really think he can help you? Asked Erma
We cant have anything going wrong in this battle at all, if he is the one that can help us out, then he no doubt will have his friend with him, as long as that kid doesnt get in the way Im sure we will be fine. Replied Kina
Well, when I meet him there wasnt anyone with him, it was just him by himself, so there might be a good chance that you dont have to tag team with himeither way if I have to battle I will. Lets just hope that this kid can prove to be the one that can use the blue orb.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A tag team battle? Asked Miki
The two were on the wooden boardwalk, on their way to the beach to meet with Erma.
Ya, I dont actually have a partner, but I was wondering if you could tag team with me? Asked Kino
A tag team? Sure that sounds fine, maybe this way we can both earn our next parts to the mapSaid Miki Just as long as Erma doesnt interfere.
