Never expected the music from the Persona series to help me focus on writing so much...
With a rough twist the lid for the water canteen was sealed up once more. Bending back down toward his pack, he stuffed the container back into the pack. “Jupiter, Eon, Perkūnas. Let's go.”
The Eevee looked up from it's position along the waterside, it's face slightly wet after consuming water from the nearby stream. Having been called to attention, she bounded toward her owner, looking with curiosity. The Jolteon followed suit, having similarly been refreshed and ready to continue it's journey. In contrast, the Pikachu was laying on it's back, sleeping as the end of it's tail twitched occasionally from between it's legs. Regardless of what Takuya said, it's not likely he would have woken up at all.
“We don't have much of a choice.” He sighed. “I wasn't exactly planning to get wet today, but we'll have to swim to get across this stream.” His eyes gazed at the other side of the small river. “Since none of you guys can surf or anything like that, I'll need to see if I can cross this hurdle myself...” He pulled out his two pokeballs. “Jupiter, Perkūnas, return!” The two of them were transferred back into data-energy, leaving only the brown-furred Pokemon to deal with. Eon jumped off the ground, pawing at Takuya's jacket with it's claws before it finally got a good catch in the fabric.
“Eon...”
The female then leaped the rest of the way up, positioning itself atop of his head, it's extra weight and size putting a strain on the trainer. “Eon...off...of my head...” The normal-type was already complying, turning it's body and sliding down the back of his neck. The strain was lessened as quadruped sat on the top-section of his pack, her stomach resting on his neck and the back of his head. Her paws rested in his blackish-blue hair, messing it up more then it already had been.
“Vee!”
“I'm amazed you still remember that we did this years ago.” Takuya remarked as he waded into the water. “But don't blame me if you end up wet from this ordeal.” He winced just a bit as the water rose up above his waist, and felt the force. It wasn't terribly overwhelming, but annoying in itself and would make it very draining to swim across. “I'll need a water-type if I want to cross anything larger then this.” Switching his body to a swimming position, he began to attempt a breast-stroke while holding his head above the water the entire time. “How about it....Eon? Vaporeon evolution for you?”
She merely gripped his head really tight, her claws digging into this scalp.
“No? I doubt you'd want to be another Jolteon. How about a fire-type?”
“Vee!” Her claws still dug into his head as he finally reached the other side of the stream, shifting his body so his feet could touch the bottom again.
“Well forgive me. We're hardly ever doing anything at night but sleep so that rules out a Umbreon. You saying you want a Espeon evolution?” Her claws still dug into his scalp. “Eon...”
He tilted his head back as he finally left the water, and she leapt off of his head, shaking her body violently. Water was flung everywhere as the normal-type attempted to remove the excess. “Vee!”
“I told you not to blame me if you got wet.” He chuckled as he looked at the small quadruped trying to resolve the issue. “Still, let's keep going.” Takuya took a handful of steps forward, looking toward the path ahead until something caught his eye.
“Is that...is it???”
Several meters away, a Vulpix could be seen nipping at it's fur. It's seven tails draped around it's sides and back turned toward the human and his companion. Even despite the noise he had made conversing with Eon, it didn't appear to notice them. But that's not what got his attention.
“That's a...THAT'S A FUCKING SHINY!”
Shiny Pokemon were all the rage, all the time. Similar to the normal pokemon in every-way except one. They seemed to posses a genetic alteration, not necessarily a defect, that would given them radically different colors then normal. Sometimes, they would be little more then color inverse patterns then the pokemon's normal scheme. In the case of the Vulpix that was in the distance, it made it's color scheme an almost-golden yellow. The exception would be it's septet of tails and the mess of fur atop of it's head, which was an unmistakable gold color when compared to the rest of it.
“...I could use a fire-type.” Takuya looked down to his Eevee, who looked up in response. “Eon, we are SO going to catch that one! Concentrate...focus your energy. It doesn’t notice us yet.” The brown and white furred Eevee complied, crouching into an offensive stance. A few second passed with a hard stare on Takuya's face. He took several deep breaths, grabbing one of the empty pokeballs around his waist. He didn't want to knock the thing out, but he did need it weakened enough so it wouldn't fight against the Pokeball. “Now. Quick Attack it.”
Eon raced forward, it's small frame carrying it rapidly across the expanse, her lungs heaving. The number of meters between the two pokemon closed rapidly, and like someone flipped a switch the shiny Vulpix looked up, seeing the charging brown and white furred creature. It pulled back into a defensive-like stance, and unleashed a series of flames from it's mouth. Eon jumped to the side to dodge it, and the shiny turned to face it head on just as the slightly smaller quadruped slammed it's shoulders into the fire-type, knocking it back several inches as the Eevee repeatedly battered it.
The Vulpix had enough, spinning around and repeatedly whipping the normal-type with it's collection of tails, battering it in the face. “Eon! Ignore that and whip him back!” Takuya's companion gladly complied, jumping to the side and smashing it's busy tail in the face of the Fire-type. Vulpix tried to tackle back, but Eon leapt to the side.
“You're MINE!” Takuya shouted at a loud volume, and just as the shiny pokemon's attention shifted from the battle to the human as he tossed his pokeball at the gold-furred rarity. In mid-air the ball opened up, a beam of white energy shooting out and encompassing the wild pokemon in mere seconds. Just after it was encompassed, the creature vanished into the sphere, and it dropped to the ground, twitching several times in order to confirm the capture.
“Perfect job Eon! I couldn't have been more impressed!”
“Vee!”
“As for you...” Takuya grabbed the ball and tossed it upward, spilling the beam of energy back into the real world as it solidified back into the golden Vulpix. “Welcome to the team!”
The Vulpix looked around a few minutes in confusion, unsure of what was going on. It's face made contact with the human as he knelt beside it. “My name is Takuya. This is Eon here.” It's black eye looked at the two, almost with a studying look before it barked out in confirmation and satisfaction.
“Vuplix...shiny Vulpix...” Takuya brought a finger up to his face. “What gender are you...that somewhat helps to determine the name.” He ran his hands on it's back, wrapping his fingers around the base of it's tails and feeling the layout and position of it's rear hips. “Female.”
It continued to stare right at Takuya, eyes not unlocking. “What?” The oddest thing about it was how it didn't blink or anything, just continued to stare almost blankly at it's new master. Takuya locked eyes back, entering something that looked akin to a staring match.
Eon's head went back and forth between the two for a while, before it finally had an idea what was going on. She put her upper paws on Takuya's knee, rapidly pushing while crying “Vee! Vee!” the entire time, trying to snap him out of it. It must have worked, because it got Takuya to turn and looked at Eon. “That was...what was that?” He stood up, looking at the two females. Eon still looked with concern in her eyes. The vulpix looked up at him also, almost smiling with malicious intent as it came up to the trainer.
“Did it use...a psychic move on me?” He scratched his chin for a moment. “I know that Vulpixes can learn psychic attacks if birthed by powerful Ninetales, but I don't recall any sort of...hypnotism.”
The vulpix came and rubbed up against it's master, it's golden fur a sharp contrast to his jeans. “I guess I need to be a bit more careful around this one...”
“Vee?” Eon looked in confusion and a bit of fear at the duo, but as it talked, the Vulpix turned and snapped at the female Eevee, causing her to step back in confusion.
“It reminds me of a Kitsune...Like those legendary Yakos and Ninkos...” He looked back down at the shiny. “Ninko? Does that work for you?” It barked back, possibly in confirmation. “Very well then. Ninko, welcome to the team.”
Eon and Ninko looked at each-other again, their eyes locking for a brief second until the Eevee turned to look elsewhere, breaking eye contact.
“Archie, take it down!”
Takuya had only ran into a few other trainers on Route 9 leading onto 10, most of them falling prey quickly to Jupiter and Perkūnas. Even his Eevee was becoming very battle-toned, to the point that she was taking on entire rounds of matches with no assistance. The sound of another trainer perked Takuya's interest, hoping to earn some more yen from such a battle.
“Good job. That's a Ekans ready for transport!”
Takuya stepped off the beaten path, looking for this new possible rival. Sliding down the rocky ledge, one hand grinding the slanted earthen wall for balance, he landed on a beach that was likely part of the southern continuation of the river he had crossed earlier.
“Hey! Wanna battle?”
The female stood up, her back still turned to Takuya. Her white labcoat was stained with marks from burns, grass, and dirt. It made an interesting contrast to her hair, a teal blue in color. It pulled outward from the back of her head, making 45 degree angles downward from her head before they turned upward, looking stiff all the way through. Turning around, Takuya could see her bright yellow and black shorts, coupled with a red shirt and blue eyes not that dissimilar from his own.
The Arcanine she had been talking to mere minutes earlier stood on all fours, easily coming to her stomach. “Arc...”
“Pffft. You're just like all the other pathetic kids I've seen in this region. Sure I'll battle, but I play for money or keeps only.”
“I don't play for fun or keeps, just money.” Takuya felt the front most pair of pokeballs on his right and left hips, all four full with ready Pokemon. “How much are you willing to bet?”
The female raised one hand to her head, making a mock-like tapping motion on her forehead. “In relation to the other trainers I've battled here, I'm willing to bet 1500 that Archie here, alone, will take out all of your pokemon regardless of what you try.”
Takuya slapped his knee, and began laughing. “I highly doubt that.” He smirked darkly. “I'll bet you the exact same amount that I can take out your Arcanine, and any other two pokemon you choose, with my four.”
“It's a deal then. Prepare to get whipped little boy.” She pointed toward the space between the two of them, and her Arcanine took a battle stance.
“Oh...your into that kind of stuff, eh?” The male smirked, then pulled one of the pokeballs off of his belt. “Perkūnas, it's battle time!” The Pikachu landed on the ground, locking it's eyes on target within seconds.
“Archie, use an Ember attack!”
“Perkūnas, dodge and hit him back with a Thunderwave!”
Before the command was even finished, a burst of fire rushed at the Pikachu, giving it no chance to escape as the flames engulfed him. Despite this, the Pikachu burst out of the fire shortly afterwords, electricity charged in it's cheeks and sent flying at the Psuedo-Legendary. The dog-like creature stumbled backwards a bit before solidly regaining it's footing, taking some damage from the hit.
“Follow it up with a Quick Attack!”
“Archie, use your Extreme Speed to overwhelm it.” The female called back, using as sweet of a voice as she could muster. The fire-type was suddenly gone, and even Perkūnas stopped for a moment, confused as to where the target went.
“Oh no... Perkūnas!” Takuya suddenly noticed the large slab of burned fur and scorched flesh on his Pikachu's right side. That would definitely prove costly. Before he could even fully process the situation, the massive dog appeared, slamming head-first into the burned side of the Pikachu. It launched the electric mouse into the air, landing on it's other side and rolling several times, unconscious.
“Shimatta... Perkūnas, return! Jupiter, you're up!” He quickly switched up the pokemon at his disposal, ready to use his considerably more powerful electric type. “Jupiter, beware. This thing moves fast, maybe even faster then you. I don't know what she's been feeding it, but remember that controlled Speed is Key!”
“Jolt!”
“Archie, Flamethrower!”
“Jupiter, Thundershock him!”
The two rays of energy met in the middle, briefly fighting out in a back-and-forth motion. For several seconds, it appeared that the two were even! That changed dramatically, as the Arcanine pumped in more energy to the blast, pushing it back and overwhelming the Jolteon. It resulted in a fiery explosion as it hit the section of ground where Jupiter had been standing, and he leapt back, barely avoiding the largest brunt of the blast.
Takuya turned his head and shielded his eyes from the force, but he did get a chance to look at his rival through the flames. She merely stood there, her hands on her hips and a wide grin plastered on her face. “Archie, Flame-Wheel!”
“Jupiter, Sand-Attack him and hit him with a Quick-Attack!”
As the spiral of flames rushed toward the Eeveloution, Jupiter pulled back into a ready stance, prepared to launch forward. He did so just as the flames closed in, avoiding them all and running nearly in a haze until he crashed into the side of the large fire dog, kicking up large amounts of sand and dirt into the face of the fire type.
“Archie! Bite Down before he gets away!”
“Jupiter, Dodge and hit again with a Quick-Attack! It should be blind right now!”
Neither really knew that the battle would change tone with that, but it did. Before long the two Pokemon were jumping back and forth, Arcanine with unbelievable speed and Jupiter with not-as-fast but still well-controlled speed. After several more jumps and dodges, Jupiter got his attack in as the psuedo-legendary took too long sliding to a stop, allowing him to crash into it's back.
“Jupiter, you've got him! Thundershock again!”
Just as the electric-type did so, pumping electric energy into his opponent, the female's pokemon turned around and bit down right onto the neck of it's attacker.
“Jupiter!”
The bite eventually weakened, and the fiery dog fell to the ground, rendered unconscious. “To bad,that income's been lost. Little Miss...” The female pulled out two pokeballs, one used to recall her first attacker while the other held what would be her second. “Show 'em who's boss!”
Takuya's jaw fell open as the next pokemon came out, ready to do battle. It was a floating pokemon, plainly ghost-type due to it's semi-translucent state. It's color was a dark bluish-green, but with lilac hair-like appendages on it's head. It was small, just slightly larger then it's owner's head, and floated several feet in the air. “That's a...That's a...” He had trouble remembering the exact name of the pokemon, but he knew it wasn't a resident of the Kanto region normally. “YOU must be the Johto trainer Misty was talking about!”
The female's eyes widened as the Kanto local pointed at her. “Oh? Misty referenced me? I feel kind of honored.” She smiled, then looked back at him with a dark grin that even gave Takuya the chills. “Maybe this will help teach you Kanto vermin to actually try to live up to something! Little Miss, hit him hard with a Psywave!”
Jupiter stood back as a series of purple translucent waves emanated from the ghost-type's head, floating across the expanse and hitting him in the head. It took several seconds, but Jupiter collapsed, it's mind under attack from an extremely foreign source.
“Jupiter!...Grrr.” Takuya called back his second electric-type and released Eon, hoping her resistance to Ghost moves would prove effective. “Eon! We don't have many options, but biting it should be super-effective! Chew the undead crap out of it!”
“You know, you're really cute when you get angry.” The female remarked, clicking her tongue and shaking her head. “Little Miss, hit this one with a Psywave also!”
Eon leapt back as she tried avoiding the waves, but not fast enough as she also stumbled under the effects. Unlike Jupiter, who had taken a beating prior, she was still able to stand, but very groggily.
“Eon! Bite down on it before it gets another one in on you!”
“Veeeeee.” The Eevee still stumbled a bit, and the Misdreavus came right up into it's face.
“Give it a little scare...”
The face of the ghost-type controted into a strange shape as it's mouth opened wide and eyes rolled back into it's head, letting out a loud female squeal. Eon jumped back in fear, only for the fear to be overcome by anger as she struck forward, biting down hard on the semi-translucent pokemon. It's fear went from forced and fake to real and painful, flying around as it dragged the normal-type behind it.
“Good job Eon! Keep biting down and don't let it get away!”
“Little Miss...MISDREAVUS!” The ghost-type stopped whining and looked at it's master, the Eevee still giving it a death grip with it's jaws. “Psywave that one also!”
“Eon! Let go and DODGE!”
Before she could do either, the waves eminated from the opponet again and overwhelmed the normal-type, dropping the brown-furred creature onto it's back, rendered unconcious like the three before it.
“Shimatta!” Takuya grabbed his last ball with his last hope. “She's still on her second Pokemon...Ninko, don't let me down!”
The Vulpix was soon realsed from her own container, it's fur shinning brightly in the early-afternoon sun.
“You have a fucking shiny!? No fair!”The Johto native put on a pout-like face, before lighting it back up with a smile once more.
“Ninko, do you...what!?” The already golden pokemon turned a bright white, then from it's back it released a large burst of light into the sky above, making the already sunny day seem even brighter...and hotter.
“What the hell...Special moves?” The teal-haired woman gritted her teeth. “Fine, If you want to play it that way...Little Miss, show that Vulpix who's boss!”
The hovering pokemon came right up into the shiny's face, stretching it's face into a strange shape like before, letting out another bloodcurling scream. The whole time, the Vulpix stood her ground and stared it down.
Takuya just stepped back, not sure what to make of the situation as it was spiraling out of his control. He had no more Pokemon, and Vulpix was unlikely to be able to sustatin ennough damage to finish off the Misdreavus and whatever pokemon she would send out next. Wihle on the outside he looked paralyzed, mentally he lost all control of his thoughts, no longer able to The two just stood there for several seconds as the female frantically tried calling her pokemon and getting her to respond. Suddendly, 'Little Miss' dropped from the sky and landed on the ground, sound asleep. “Little Miss...Misdreavus! WAKE UP MISDREAVUS OR I WILL MOVE YOUR FOOD TO THE STREET!”
The golden Vulpix broke it's eye contact right aftewards, looking over it's shoulder at the male as if to wonder what the next move to make was. “Uhhh, Ninko...Ember?” The male hesitantly called out, looking at the situation which had unfolded with confused eyes. The quadreped quickly picked up on the order, swelling it's chest up and releasing a dazzling spectacle of flames onto the sleeping pokemon, coating it and rendering it unconscious.
“Fine! If special attacks is how you want to make this battle spin...Natee! You're up!”
The next opponet released onto the feild was a small, bird like pokemon with almost no body. It was decked in green feathers on it's near-spherical head, a pair or red, yellow, and black striped wings attached to where it's ears would normally be.
“Natu...Ninko, try doing whatever the hell it was you did earlier...”
The Vulpix bounced right into the face of the small bird pokemon, staring it down like it had stared down the pokemon before it. The bird merely stood there for several seconds, until it's eyes suddendly slipped shut, openend back up, then shut once more.
“I'm amaz-”Takuya was cut off as suddendly the eyes opened back up on the flying/psyhcic type, and the vulpix even leaped back in shock.
“Natee won't be lulled to sleep that easily! Night shade her Natee!”
The Bird jumped into the air, making itself look even larger then before, causing the shiny to retreat several more steps. “Show her the real PECK-ing order!” The tiny bird jumped forward, landing on the back of the creature as it banged it's beak into the fire-type several times over.
“Ninko, Whip that thing off of you!”
A weight-shiftage did push the bird-like Pokemon off of the kitsune, and she followed up quickly with six subsequent tail whips, flattening the bird-type on the ground.
“Natee, finish her off by just pecking her to death!”
“Ninko, use Quick-Attack to remove any chance of her hitting you!”
The fire-fox raced as fast as it could toward the opponet, but just as she began to slam her bodymass into the creature, it jumped and landed on her head, pecking at her face. The Vulpix stopped, trying to shake the opponet off before suddendly collapsing to the ground with a yelp.
“Critical Hit!” The female shouted, jumping into the air. “I shouldn't have bet so high, but you didn't stand a chance!” After jumping off of it's fallen enemy, even the Natu began leaping up and down in rythm with it's trainer.
Takuya looked down at his unconscious pokemon, starring at it blankly in confusion. He pulled out his pokeball, porting the golden-furred creature in. “Show me...”
“Huh?”
“Show me...” He looked her right in the face, and fell to his knees. “What the hell happened at the end there!”
“Don't you know about...”
“No I don't know! Every since I caught that Vulpix this morning, weird things have happened with it. I can't grow with a pokemon that I don't understand!”
The blindly bright light in the sky slowly faded away back to the normal sun, allowing the female to look beyond the battle and at the male on the other side of the ring. She could see his fist clenched up, tears running down his face and frustration thick in his eyes.
“I know you know about this, it's not something I can just go online and look up, or ask another trainer about. I need to know now.”
The teal-haired trainer scratched her arm in anxiety, unsure of what to make of the situation. Nearly everyone else she had ran into in the Kanto region were assholes to her once they found out about her Johto heritage. While she was often a pain back, she refused to let her place of birth hinder the respect she belived she deserved. However, that was a belief that she had nearly given up on. Until now.
The female walked over to him, lending out her hand infront of his face. He looked at it, and right up at her. “The name's Kris. I've never seen one of you Kanto kids so humble or willing before. I'll show you what I know about Pokemon, and things you never would have dreamed were possible.”
He looked at her face intently, a half-smile gracing her features as her blue eyes stared right back into his. Hoping that there was no malicious intent behind it, he took her hand, and she pulled him up onto his feet. “My name is Takuya...Takuya Serizawa. Nice to meet you, Kris.”
