What if they were real? rated 16+ (just in case any adult themes come up)

Earl laughed at Shadow as he sat down next to hs Pokemon. Mrs. Thomas brought him out his food rather quickly with Earl simply smiling.

"Thank you man," was all Earl said as he began eating his food. He then looked to the corner and smiled upon seeing a Charizard with a Pikachu lying on its belly.

"So I assume the well-trained Charizard is yours?" asked Earl to John as Earl's Pokemon finished eating. Leonidas, still wearing his new hat, had decided to go say hi to Shadow as he walked up to her and patted her back, making sure she was okay. Judas had decided he wanted to go see John's Charizard as he floated over to it... And stared. Meanwhile, Joan was on the ceiling, just sitting there and looking around, extremely curious as Brutus decided to go to the kitchen. He was still hungry.
 
"Yeah, and the pikachu. And the Chikorita outside laying in the sun. And the Dewott in the kitchen. And this little one under my feet," John said. Shadow glanced up at the totodile and groaned a little.
"I don't feel too good," she said quietly. John sighed. He wished he could help, but there was nothing to be done about her and her hangover. She would just have to deal with it. John turned back to Earl.
"Well, I gotta say it was pretty fun. You're not so bad, when you aren't acting a fool. Like that dancing last night. Most horrendous thing I've ever seen. What was that called again? Well, I don't really care," John said.
"Oh god, stop talking around it and say it!" Shadow moaned from her chair. John shot her a dirty look.
"Fine. Thanks for everything man. But I think that I'll be on my way after Aquanis gets back out here. I have to keep moving," John said. Aquanis took that moment to come out of the kitchen.
"Dewott?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's time to go. Cinder, grab Leaf and follow me around back to the cottage. I need to get my bag. Nida, Aquanis, Shadow, follow me," John said as he stood up. Nida and Aquanis walked over to him. Shadow didn't move. John sighed and picked her up.
"Dewott!" Aquanis said. John reached down and picked the jealous dewott up as well. He walked back around the back with Nida hot on his heels. He reached the room and Cinder had landed with his other pokemon. John called them all back, except for Cinder and Shadow. He walked in the room and grabbed his bag. He had left the TV on. He was about to turn it off when he saw a familiar face. He listened to the interview Israel gave and shook his head. And Israel thought he was the immature one? Well, if they didn't believe that he was better than Tydus, then he couldn't fault them. He had only got two badges, after all. He wasn't even close to being the man Tydus was. But he would get there. And then he would show them all the truth. But first, he hoped he found a certain HA agent so he could beat some sense into him. He wasn't going to tolerate lip from a hack that was living off of daddy's reputation. He shut the TV off and walked back outside.

(OOC: If you want to travel with John, you better ask now before he takes off!)
 
As Earl finished eating, he quietly chuckled at what John had said. "Don't mention it," said Earl as he began thinking. John wasn't such a bad guy, just misunderstood. He and Earl weren't all that different, especially in terms of goals... That's when the thought hit him.

"Hey guys, time to head out ourselves," said Earl as he called Judas, Brutus, and Joan back to their Pokeballs. He then placed them in his suitcase as Leonidas jumped up on Earl's left shoulder. Quickly, Earl placed the key to the cottage on the marble-stone counter and ran outside. Glad to see John and his Charizard Cinder still here. Earl simply stood next to Cinder and smiled.

"I'm going with ya Honky. Someone needs to be able to put you in your place every now and then."
 
Silver only winced at the shriek of a sound & closed his eyes, until something grabbed his painful leg, causing him to endure the pain. Later he was put back down on the ground roughly. Is it over?

"K-kitten...where a-are you...?" Silver's leg was really hurt & scared so much it's almost as if he was losing his soul. He at least managed to take out Sky for protection. When Sky looked at Silver & his leg, he quickly ran over to him worried

"Sky, please take down this ghost..." Sky was getting really worried, but did as his trainer told him, turning to this 'ghost' & got really angry. He noticed Kitten was there & ran by her side.
 
"Why do you want to come with me? You don't even know where I'm going!" John said. He looked at Earl as though he was nuts. He really didn't want to have to look after this dumb fool. He wanted to get moving! He had to!
"C'mon Johnny! It'll be fun to have someone else around!" Shadow said quietly. John glared at her.
"Don't encourage him! Fine, I'll take you with me. But if you slow me down or start whining, I'm going to have Cinder fly you up very high and then drop you. Do you understand?" John asked coldly. This was not a distraction he needed. He began to walk to the pokemon center. He needed to get Tempest out of storage if he was going to be lugging Earl around with him.
 
"Atta boy! Besides, things will get boring without me and you know it!" said Earl as he put his left hand in front of Leonidas, who high-fived Earl and laughed. "And I won't slow ya down or whine. It's not my nature to."

Earl then followed John into the Pokemon Center and just chilled a bit. "Besides, I've been just about everywhere. My knowledge and Southern charms should be able to help you out surely, plus I'm not exactly poor either. And about me going with you? Like I said, somebody needs to be able to put you in your place every now and then."
 
"Whatever," John said simply as he used the storage program and got Tempest out. He walked outside, and jumped back when a black helicopter flew over head.
"Damn! How did they get here so fast!" John said. He looked at Earl. He would find out soon. John walked back outside.
"Shadow, you remember what I told you never to do?" John asked, a plan forming in his mind.
"This?" she asked and turned into him.
"That. Now, stay like that and walk around town with Earl. Some people will come after you. Here's Aquanis's ball. And here's Tempest's. I want you to keep the people that come distracted for me. I'll be back soon," John said as he called out Cinder and took to the sky. John/Shadow giggled. She loved turninginto John, simply because it confused people when the normally mean John was jumping around and playing. But this was serious.
"Shal we go?" she asked Earl.
 
Before Earl could ask what the heck was going on around here John had took off on Cinder while Shadow transformed into a perfect image of John. Not knowing much else to do, Earl simply nodded, but not before opening his suitcase and taking out Judas' Pokeball. Something told him Judas might be needed.

"Let's go. I have an idea for where we can go if things get bad," said Earl as he and "John" walked out of the Pokemon Center. Earl immediately decided to go to the side of Jackson where The Shack was at. Surely whoever was in the helicopter wouldn't know where Earl and "John" was heading. "That was pretty cool with how you did that and all," said Earl to Shadow, not wanting to get too specific. Earl's usual attitude at this point was one of complete seriousness and focus as he kept looking for a certain vehicle.

"Yeah! I'm pretty cool!" she said happily. John/Shadow bounced along happily next to Earl, the tail she never could quite get to disappear still poking out under the shirt. She fumbled with the pokeballs John had put on her belt. She was terrible at using her hands. She couldn't get the fingers to bend right. She glanced up.
"Uh-oh," she said. She pinted up as a Golbat flew away. They were coming now.

John and Cinder landed on the roof and watched the Golbat fly back. John had no idea why he wanted to destroy the helicopter. He just wanted to cause as much destruction as he could. He didn't care at all if the agents were still there. He spotted them running across the rooftops toward where the Golbat had gone. Time to go again. He got back on Cinder's back and they fell toward the helicopter.
 
(OOC: The Flashback continues)

Yasumi was running through the woods to a lake, she stopped, "Daddy come on it's right here." "HA HA HA, slow down Yasumi we'll get the" said Akio to his daughter. "Just a little more" said Yasumi eager to obtain her first Pokemon, "right here" she said stopping at the lake. "So which Pokemon do you want to capture from the lake?" asked Akio. "Karpy I'm here!!!" shouted Yasumi. As soon as she said that a small orange fish lept out of the water into her arms, she hugged it and then placed it back into the water and fed it something. Akio was surprised that the Pokemon that his daughter wanted was a Magikarp. "Yasumi, you do understand that Magikarp is considered the weakest Pokemon?" said Akio. "You always taught me that it isn't about whether the Pokemon is weak or strong but that you share a friendship with it, well Karpy is my best friend" said Yasumi. "Good girl, and I think that you'll find that Magikarp is much stronger than you think" said Akio. "Pokemon and people will never be friends" said a voice, Akio and Yasumi turned to see who it was.
 
((OOC: Stupid internet connection is stupid. :P It is running good now though. XD))

"Dammit! Richie where in the hell are you?" thought Earl to himself as he saw the globat fly off. Whatever he just got into, he didn't like it. As he gripped Judas' Pokeball tighter, he could have sworn that he saw people moving on the rooftops out of the corner of his mind. However, good things came as Earl quickly spotted the same Mustang from last night over in an alley. Earl quietly thanked the good Lord above as he started running, motioning for "John" to follow him.

Richie was just leaning on the hood of his car, waiting on some friends as Earl and who appeared to be John ran up to him. Richie did happen to note that John was walking a bit weird though...

"What up bro?" asked Richie when Earl got to him. Earl only shook his head.

"Glad to see you here. Listen playa, stuff is fixing to go down," said Earl as he kept his head on straight and remained focus. Richie seemingly nodded at what Earl said as he grabbed an Ultraball off of his belt.

"I got cha back bro, and so does Machamp," said Richie, getting ready for whatever stuff was fixing to happen.
 
John/Shadow followed Earl down a back alley to where the man with the loud car was. She fumbled a bit and got the two real pokeballs off of her belt.
"Johnathon Brooks! We have you now!" a man shouted. John/Shadow giggled.
"You sure do!" she said. She hurled the pokeballs behind them and out came Tempest and Aquanis. She then turned back into herself.
"What the!?" the man said.
"It was a trick?!" the second one said.
"You sure are smart!" Shadow barked at them.
"Pidgeot!" Tempest said.
"Dewott! Dewott!" Aquanis agreed. Shadow looked Earl over.
"I don't think he'd lead us wrong. Hey, Earl! Aquanis, Tempest and I have agreed that you get to tell us what to do while Johnny isn't here. And we need it!" Shadow said as the two men sent out their pokemon.

John jumped to the ground and startled the HA punk that was guarding the helicopter.
"So, you came here instead. Fool. I'll take you out myself and then I'll take you to the Gentleman!" the grunt said as he sent out a Rapidash.
"says the guy that got picked to guard the helicopter. That's always the weakest one. And if he's such a gentleman, tell him to get off his lazy rear and come talk to me himself. I'd love the chance to beat him here and now!" John said. He sent out Sparky.
"Insolent brat! Rapidash! Use Mega Horn!" the grunt shouted.
"Sparky, dodge it and use Thunderbolt!" John shouted back. The pikachu leapt into the air and blasted the Rapidash with a powerful jolt of electricity.

(OOC: You can bunny Shadow, Aquanis, and Tempest and do the battle if you want.)
 
Earl quickly threw out Judas' Pokeball as Leonidas jumped down and stood next to Shadow. Judas took his spot next to Aquanis, awaiting Earl's command. Richie then tossed out his Ultraball, revealing Machamp, who landed next to the group.

"Alrighty then, LET'S DO THIS!" shouted Earl as he began thinking of what moves John's Pokemon would know. He had a good feeling about the moves he had in mind as he formed out his stradegy.

"Tempest, use Hurricane to get some of those goons out of here! Aquanis, Razor Shell any Pokemon you see. If any target is too far, Water Pulse! Shadow, back up Aquanis with Shadow Ball and Faint Attack! Judas, whatever is left over, use Hypnosis! Leonidas, use Water Gun to keep the enemy from attacking Judas!" shouted Earl, pointing at John's, and now his, enemies.

"Machamp, you be sure to send whatever Judas puts to sleep outta there with Bullet Punch!" shouted Richie as Judas' eyes already began glowing yellow while he laughed. Leonidas then jumped next to Judas and began letting loose some of his best ever Water Guns. Machamp just waited... Until he saw an enemy Golbat fall to the ground from Judas' Hypnosis. In a blinding flash, Machamp sent the Golbat away, knocked out.

((OOC: If you want me to, I can control Shadow, Aquanis, and Tempest for you in this battle. However, I need your permission first.))
 
(OOC: My last post already did that. That's what bunnying is, controlling another persons characters.)

That Rapidash was good, but Sparky was far better. Sparky jumped up and hit it in the head with Thunder Punch. The poor thing fainted and John charged at the grunt before he could send out his next pokemon. He tackled him and they both fell to the ground. John climbed on top of him and began punching him in the face as hard as he could. He felt a bolt of lightning in his hand accompanied by a loud crack.
"AH!!" he yelled. The grunt had already been knocked out by the red haired youth. His face was bloody and swollen, and he was missing a few teeth. John opened his hand and screamed again at the pain. He cradled his hand. He stood up. If the man's face wasn't enough of a message, then this should be. He walked into the helicopter and took a few papers that were there. He'd go through them later. He looted anything useful, and walked away with a few more Full Heals. Time to send a message.
"Cinder, I don't like the way that thing looks. Flamethrower," John said calmly. He returned to the big Charizard, who roared at the thing. He blasted it and it exploded when he got to the fuel tank. John called Sparky and Cinder back and dropped to the ground, a piece of the thing wizzing by his head. That had been dumb of him! He got back to his feet, whincing at the pain in his hand.
 
"SON OF A-!" began a goon before he was sent flying into a buildingBy Tempest's Hurricane attack. Earl then saw what the guy was shouting about as the explosion took place. For some reason, he had a feeling John had something to do with it.

Meanwhile, a Houndour was just sent back to its trainer by Leonidas as Judas put both the trainer and Houndour to sleep. Several other goons and Pokemon were asleep as well as Aquanis and Shadow knocked out whatever was not sent flying by Tempest. Richie's Machamp was still using Bullet Punch on some enemy Pokemon, makig sure they were knocked out.

Having decided his enemies had had enough, Earl smiled and gave a laugh.

"Everyone, that's enough! Tempest, go get John! Something tells me he isn't okay. Aquanis, go with Tempest so you can be an extra set of eyes. Shadow, stay here and finish off whatever is left with Leonidas and Judas. Judas, you may stop using Hypnosis and start using Shadow Sneak. That should finish them. Leonidas, Bite or Ice Punch whatever Shadow and Judas don't get too," said Earl as Machamp was recalled back to his Ultraball by Richie.

"You don't need my help bro. Any time you need a hand, you know how to get me," said Richie as he drove off in his Mustang. Surely the cops would be here soon, and Lord knows Richie hates the Jackson police. Earl was happy with himself, having commanded that many Pokemon at once. Just then though, someone appeared out of the alley and walked up to Earl. This person, as Earl could guess, was similiar to Earl in his height and build, which led Earl to guess this figure was male. The strange thing was that the figure was wearing a black body suit with a black leather mask that covered his entire head, except the piercing hazel eyes.

"You took out my men well boy, but let's see how you can handle me, man to man!" shouted the figure to Earl in his somewhat deep voice. The man's accent, Earl noticed, had a hint of French in it, but that's all Earl could tell. Earl then turned to Leonidas, Judas, and Shadow, who were already behind him. Shadow had just found Aquanis' and Tempest's Pokeballs, and Leonidas and Judas were ready for a fight. However, Earl motioned for each of them to stay back by extending his arms back.

"You sound overly confident good sir, but sure, I'll be your Huckleberry," said Earl as he cracked his knuckles. The man in black then charged at Earl, who blocked the man's fist with his left arm and proceeded to punch the individual in the jaw.

Meanwhile, Tempest and Aquanis finally spotted John lying on the ground as they landed next to him.

"Dewott dew!" shouted Aquanis, worried about his friend as he nudged John.

"You got moves kid..." said the man in black as he took several steps back, holding his left side where Earl had kicked him. Earl had a busted lip now, but he was far from being done. "Thanks," was all Earl said as he charged the individual. The man ran straight for Earl as well, but Earl suddenly lowered his stance as he thrust his left shoulder out, tackling the guy in the ribs and taking him to the ground. Earl, as quick as he could, got to his feet, but the man in black got to his feet just as quick.

"Not bad sir. No bad at all."

"I could say the same for you boy. Votre technique, toutefois, est très bien que sauvages. Les sauvager, et vous vous serait mort droit maintenant!"

"Your French is very fluent sir, mais je ne suis pas d'accord avec vous. Ma technique est sauvage pour une raison. Il est de se débarrasser de mes ennemis si jamais ils étaient assez stupide pour me contester à une rixe comme cela," said Earl, changing from English to French rather easily as the man in black charged Earl again. As he got close though, Earl threw a right open-handed punch at the man, which hit the man in the right shoulder and stopped him. Earl then elbowed the man in the chest, followed by a backhand to the face, sending the man to the ground. The man, however, performed a leg sweep, sending Earl to the ground as well. Earl, however, quickly jumped back up as the man did as well. The match was seeming to be quite even.

"La façon de nous tout simplement appeler cela un tirage?" asked the man, not really waiting for Earl's answer as he suddenly ran back to the alley. Earl tried to chase him, but when he got to the alley, the man was gone. Cursing himself for letting the individual get away, Earl began thinking.

"Just who in the hell was that guy?" thought Earl as Leonidas, Judas, and Shadow walked up to Earl. Earl, before turning around, spat some blood to the side as he smiled at the Pokemon. None of them had a scratch on them, which was impressive.

"Good job team," said Earl as he returned Judas to his Pokeball. He then found his suitcase once again and placed the Pokeball inside. Leonidas then jumped up to Earl's left shoulder while Earl patted his right shoulder, indicating Shadow to hop up. She did so quite well, to which Earl smiled.

"Now, to find John," said Earl as he began heading in the direction Tempest and Aquanis went in. Leonidas, who surprisingly still had his hat on, however, leaned back and smiled at Shadow.

"To Toto Dile! (Translation: You did good!)" said Leonidas to Shadow.
 
Shadow giggled at the praise.
"Yeah! I'm very strong!" she said happily.

John sat on the ground. His hand was in ecruciating pain. But it had felt good to beat that man senseless like that. John looked over at him. He still wasn't moving. John wondered if he had killed him. Tempest and Aquanis landed nearby. Aquanis dove into John, crying. He smelled John had been hurt and wanted to make it better.
"I'm fine! Now where are Earl and Shadow? I swear, if he stole her like that punk in that town did I'm going to kill him!" John said. He wanted to go! The police would be here any minute now. He shrugged. Time to go find them. He climbed aboard Tempest and let her fly to Earl. Soon, he reached where they were walking as fast as they could. John whinced as he dropped Cinder's pokeball, releasing the big guy right in front of them.
"Climb on and hold Shadow tight. If you drop her, we'rer going to have big problems!" John shouted to the stunned guy and the happy Shadow. Cinder would know to follow his trainer, and Tempest would not fly so fast that they could not keep up.
 
Earl, without needing any other motivation, climbed aboard Cinder, leaned forward, and held on to Leonidas, Shadow, and his suitcase. He quickly took Aquanis' Pokeball and returned him, that way John would have more room as they took off. Earl quietly put Aquanis' Pokeball in his other pocket, the one with the gold pocket watch as Cinder took to the skies next to Tempest. As they did, the police swarmed the scene down below, Earl grateful they weren't down there.
 
John waied until they were up in the air really high. Then he burst out laughing.
"That was awesome! But you do know you won't be able to come back here for a long time. Me either. Especially me. I beat a man almost to death and blew up a helicopter. Does that make me a terrorist?" John said innocently, then he resumed laughing. Oh, the absurdity of all this! He put his hand down on Tempests flank and swore loudly.
"That hurt! Stupid man having a head like a rock!" he said angrily as he went back to cradling his arm.
"Are you ok?" Shadow asked urgently.
"Just fine and dandy!" John said angrily. He held his hand and let Tempest choose where they went. She decided to fly west.
"We need to touch down in a while and go over what we've got. Earl, you and I need to talk!" John said. Earl had nearly gotten killed in a battle that wasn't his to fight. John didn't really care about the morality of it, but now that Earl had a taste of them, he might be scared off by the thought of the whole HA after his new friend. John hoped he would be so he would leave and John could be alone again.
 
"Look, New Orleans isn't that far. We land there, get our crap situated, and decide what to do. Oh, and yes, you should be marked a terrorist! Blowing up a helicopter?! You're a lucky man to be alive! Be glad you only have a hurt hand!" shouted Earl as he held on to Shadow and Leonidas. Leonidas, liking where he was at, thought it was cool to be flying on top of a dragon-like Pokemon. He could get use to this real quick. Earl, however, wasn't sure what to think. Did he like it? Yeah, but the feeling of being so high in the air on the back of a Charizard didn't sit well with him.

"Down there! I see some of the landmarks!" shouted Earl as he pointed downward. Right there was New Orleans.

"Look, my home is there, so we should be safe."
 
John looked down to where Earl pointed. He motioned for his pokemon to land. They did, and Shadow jumped down and ran over to John, with a look that said she was begging to be picked up.
"Sorry, but I hurt my hand beating that guy's face in. Maybe later," John said. Shadow didn't look too happy, so John reached down and pet her with his good hand.
"Heh, I'm a lot more dangerous than the terroists, but not to the country. My rage is toward the Human Alliance. I'll tell you why when I get something to dull the pain in my hand. I think it's broken. And gave me back my pokeballs!" John said firmly. He returned Cinder, but without Tempest's ball, he had to leave her out. She chirped and nibbled on his shirt, leaving a large hole in the back and a scratch on John. He whinced.
"Don't do that Tempest!" he said. She looked back at him with happiness in her eyes. Stupid bird.
"So, New Orleans. Where abouts in New Orleans?" John asked.
