Roxas, Master of the Two Pokemon directory Sorry it took so long you guys!!! This chapter is pretty long itself. ============================================== Chapter 14: A really hard battle The next day, they went over to the Goldenrod Gym. The inside of the gym was almost like a cutesy world, filled with flowers, pink and white, and some small cute pokemon running around. “Ok, this place is scaring me.” Axel couldn’t stand too much of the girly atmosphere. “This place is not that bad.” Demyx seemed unaffected by the gym’s décor. “Did you know that from above, the flower pots create an outline of a clefairy.” Axel looked at Demyx. “And you call yourself a man.” “Hey,” The group heard a familiar voice. “I didn’t know that you would be here.” They turned to see Marl coming behind them, holding a bucket of flowers. “Hi, Marly!” Kiki waved. “What are you doing here?” He pointed to his bucket. “I came here to replace some of the dead flowers here. I guess you’re here for a gym battle.” Roxas nodded with confidence. “Whitney should be around here.” Marl looked around. “Oh, here she is right now.” A young woman raced over to them. She was maybe just about 18 years old. Her short light red hair was in two low pigtails. She wore a white shirt with a red stripe down the sides. She also wore matching shorts. “Hi, Marly. Are those the new flowers?” “Yes, just tell me where you want some of the flowers replaced.” He pointed out the others. “It seems like you have a challenger.” “Really?” Whitney noticed the others. “This is great.” She pulled Kiki over to the side. “I’m so happy that you’re a pokemon trainer going out on a journey!” She said to her. “Are you ready to prove that girls can be just as good as guys?” “Um…” Kiki sweatdropped. “I’m not your challenger. He is.” She pointed to Roxas. Whitney looked over to him. “Oh.” She gave him a look of dislike as she went over to him. “Don’t think that just because I’m a girl that you’ll beat me easily.” She walked ahead to lead them to the battlefield. Marl whispered to Roxas. “Yeah, she’s not really fond of males underestimating her.” Roxas couldn’t believe it. “What about you, Marl?” (Roxas still felt weird calling Marluxia, ‘Marl’) “Me? Well she knows me pretty well already, so we’re good friends.” “Or maybe Whitney thought Marly here, was a female.” Axel muttered in to Demyx’s ear, while the totodile snickered. They all followed Whitney to the flat battlefield, where Roxas went to one side and Whitney went to the other. Kiki and Marl sat of benches nearby to watch. “Aren’t you going to plant those flowers?” Kiki asked Marl. “Not just yet.” Marl put his flower bucket down. “I don’t get too many opportunities to watch gym battles.” The judge went to the side of the field. “This battle between Gym Leader Whitney and Challenger Roxas will be single battling. Each trainer will only be able to use 2 pokemon each. Roxas can substitute his pokemon with another.” “Ok, Demyx, you ready?” Roxas looked at the totodile. “Oh, great…” Demyx set his sitar down and walked on to the field. Whitney took out a pokeball. “C’mon out, Clefairy!” The fairy-like pokemon appeared on the field. “Demyx, use water gun!” The totodile shot out a blast of water, but the Clefairy hopped out of the way. “Clefairy, swift attack!” “Clefair-ry!” She jumped up and shot out multiple stars from her hands. “Aah!” Demyx ran around as the stars rained down on him. “Ok, now Clefairy. Attack with doubleslap!” Clefairy came down with her hands ready for Demyx’s face. “Oh, shoot!” Demyx backed up and put his hands up for defense. Clefairy brought in a slap, but Demyx blocked it with his claw and hit the clefairy’s face with his other claw. Everyone gasped. “Whoa.” Axel couldn’t believe it. “The clefairy got pwned by Demyx.” The clefairy back off and rubbed her cheek. A red slap mark in a shape of a totodile’s claw was imprinted on it. Clefairy became red with anger. “Uh-oh.” Demyx backed away slowly. Clefairy zoomed at Demyx with amazing speed with her hands ready to doubleslap. Demyx franticly waved his claws in front of him as the clefairy clashed in to him. They were now in a furious catfight, none of them doing any real damage to each other. “Wow,” Kiki was amazed. “I’ve never seen a pokemon catfight before.” “They have to be careful though.” Marl watched. “One opening can have the enemy slapping their face red.” The battle continued on with the catfight and both trainers couldn’t think of any plan for their pokemon. After about 15 mins, Clefairy and Demyx were actually slowing down on their slaps. They were both getting tired. This called up a chance to attack. “Demyx, headbutt!” The totodile thrust his head into the clefairy’s, knocking her away. Demyx held on to his ringing head. Sure, Demyx’s head hurt, but it was enough to knockout the tired clefairy. The judge raised one of her flags. “Clefairy is unable to battle. Totodi-“ She stopped seeing Demyx fall due to exhaustion and the hit on his head. The judge raised both of her flags. “Clefairy and Totodile are both unable to battle. This round is a draw.” “Demyx!” Roxas, Kiki, and Axel ran over to their companion. “Wow.” Axel observed. “That’s one nasty bump on the head.” “Never!” Demyx was barely able to say as he pointed to Roxas. “Never! Suggest that move again.” Roxas sweatdropped and apologized. “I’ll take care of Demyx.” Kiki lifted the tired totodile. “Good luck, you guys.” She went back to the bench, where she laid Demyx down. “Are we ready for the next round yet?” Whitney held up her pokeball impatiently. Roxas ran back on to the side of the field as Axel flared his flames for his fight. Whitney sent out her next pokemon. “Go, Miltank.” A pink cow-like pokemon appeared. “Watch out. My miltank is really tough to beat.” “The battle between Whitney and Roxas will continue with Miltank verses Quilavaa.” The judge raised her flags. “Begin!” “Miltank, use tackle.” Miltank charged at Axel like a truck. Axel used quick attack to dodge and counterattack. Pow! Miltank was hit square in the side, causing her to fall down. “C’mon, Miltank we’re not going to lose to him. Do Rollout.” “Mil!” She curled up into a ball and spun like a wheel. Zoom! The miltank ball spun towards Axel with amazing speed. The quilava used quick attack again to dodge and counter attack. Pow! Axel was blown back as he hit Miltank. She spun too fast to hit. “Head-on-head physical attacks won’t work any more.” Whitney warned. “Miltank’s roll out attack is almost impossible to stop, it also gets stronger the longer she rolls.” “That's bad…” Roxas tried to think up a plan as he whipped out his pokedex for a list of Axel’s attacks. Miltank continued with her rollout attack and charged towards Axel again. He jumped out of the way and shot a flamethrower attack at Miltank, but she just rolled through the attack, unaffected. “/Great! None of my attacks are working./” Axel continued running away from Miltank. Kiki was worried. “Do you know what Axel can do?” She asked Marl. “Rollout keeps going for 5 turns.” Marly replied. “So Axel just needs to wait for 5 attacks until he can strike back. He already survived 3, but by now Rollout should be at almost full power.” “Well, Axel seems to be doing go-“ Pow! “Uh-oh.” Axel flew several feet before crashing on the ground. He was severly hurt as he struggled to get up. “Good job, Miltank. Run him over for the final attack!” Miltank spun toward Axel, like a boulder. Roxas found a new attack for Axel on the Pokedex. “Axel! Use flame wheel!” Axel charged at Miltank as fire engulfed him. He was like a human (or pokemon) fireball, as he charged towards Miltank. Kiki and Marl held their breaths for the collision. CRASH! Axel was literally thrown really high up in the air and was flying towards the far wall of the gym. “Axel!” All of his friends yelled as Roxas ran back to catch the falling quilava. When Axel was at a low height, Roxas jumped up and caught him before they both tumbled on to the ground. Kiki and Marly ran over to the two. “Are you guys, ok?” Kiki had a worried face. Roxas had a few scratches on him. “Yeah, I’m ok, but Axel…” He looked down at the unconscious quilava in his arms. “Quilava is unable to battle.” The judge brought up a flag. “Gym leader Whitney wins!” Whitney returned her half-burned miltank. “/That flame wheel attack did some good damage./” She thought as she walked over to Roxas. “That was a good try. With you catching your quilava like that, I guess you’re not as heartless like other guys.” “uh..” But Roxas didn’t even have a heart. “You’re a good person.” Whitney continued. “I like you for that. You’re coming back for a rematch, I suppose?” Roxas nodded. “Yeah.” “See you later then.” She winked. “Ok, Marly, I’ll show you where to replace the flowers.” She started to walk away. Marl patted Roxas’s shoulder. “Once Whitney is good with you, she’s really nice. Well, anyways, that was a close battle, amazingly. Just a bit more training and you can probably beat her.” Then he went to follow Whitney. “Let’s go to the pokemon center.” Kiki picked up Demyx, who was fast asleep. ================================================ Gasp! Roxas lost!
WTF!!! HOW CAN SHE HAVE A CLEFAIRY?! THAT'S A LEGENDARY POKEMON!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! O_O but still.... GREAT STORY!!! :D
Clefairy isn't legendary, just rare. In fact, in pokemon r/b/y, there's a cave where they can be found roaming all over the place. <random> I like Shinx! </random>
OK, I FINALLY GOT OFF MY LAZY BUTT TO TRY TO GET OUT OF MY STUPID WRITER'S BLOCK. xD Whoot! Chapter 15: Another Face, Another Opportunity ================================================ Roxas and Kiki were waiting in the pokemon center lobby as Axel and Demyx were getting healed. “There’s a first time for everything…” Kiki shrugged. “But that lost just means that you need to train more.” ------------------------------------------- They picked up Demyx and Axel the next day and walked outside of the pokemon center to start training, when suddenly a guy in a black cloak ran by them and snatched Demyx away by his tail. “Demyx!” Roxas, Axel and Kiki ran after the thief. “Vine whip, Ivysaur!” A green vine shipped past the three and caught the kidnapper’s ankle. The guy fell forward, dropping Demyx. Marl ran up next to Roxas and Kiki with his ivysaur. “Are you guys ok? I was working in the gardens when you guys yelled.” “Yeah, we’re fine.” Roxas replied as Demyx ran back to them and clung on to Axel to avoid being kidnapped again. Axel had to shake Demyx off, of course. They all went over to the fallen kidnapper. The person was wearing an organization XIII cloak, except that it was extremely dirty and worn out. The hood was up, hiding the person’s identity. “I can’t believe it.” Marly put his hands on his waist. “I can’t believe that you would sink that low to actually steal pokemon, Luxord.” The man took off his hood to reveal another face from Organization XIII. He had blond filthy hair and a matching short beard. “Aye.” He said with an English accent. “I wasn’t really aiming for the totodile. Just the sitar attached to its back.” Roxas, Axel, and Demyx just stood there with shock hanging over them. How many other Organization members were they going to meet in the pokemon world? Marl helped Luxord up and introduced him to the others. “You guys. This is Luxord. He’s an original homeless resident in Goldenrod.” “I’m the city’s best gambler and move tutor.” Luxord corrected Marl. “Thank you very much.” “Yes Yes Yes.” Marl continued. “Luxord. This is Roxas, Kiki, and Roxas’s pokemon, Axel and Demyx.” They said hi, while Demyx hugged his sitar closer to himself to prevent thievery. “Roxas, eh.” Luxord eyed him. “You’re the one that lost against Whitney the other day.” Roxas drooped his head down in shame. It was quite amazing how news of his defeat actually spread. Luxord laughed and patted Roxas on the back. “Don’t worry she’s tough, so no real surprise there.” “I gotta go back to work.” Marl checked his watch. “I’ll see ya soon and tell me when you verse Whitney again. You be good now Luxord.” He ran back to the pokemon center. “You said that you are a move tutor. Right?” Kiki asked Luxord. “Yes, I did say that.” He replied. “May I offer my services?” Kiki tugged Roxas’s sleeve. “You know what this means? Luxord can train Axel and Demyx to learn new moves!” “That’s a good idea.” Roxas nodded in agreement and turned to Luxord. “Which moves can you teach?” “As long as the pokemon is able to learn it, I can teach it.” “Great!” “But of course,” Luxord had a glint in his eye. “I don’t offer my services for free.” Even though this was the pokemon world, Luxord still cared for money. Roxas sighed. “How much?” “Well,” Luxord put his finger to his chin, like when ever Zexion would be in thought. “Since you ARE a friend of Marly.” He smirked. “I’ll give you a discount…4,000 pokemoney for each move.” Everyone almost fell back at the size of the price. That was a lot of money, especially since they were planning for Axel and Demyx to learn something new, making a total of 8,000 pokemoney as the price. “Uh, Let us discuss something in private.” Roxas told Luxord as he and everyone else went to a secluded area nearby. “Are we really going to do this?” Roxas asked. Demyx was up for it. “Learning a new move sounds fun.” Axel sighed and nodded in agreement. “For once I have to agree with Demyx.” Kiki looked into their money pouch. “We only have about 4,000 pokemoney. Only enough for one move.” Everyone tried to think of a way to raise money, while Demyx played some thinking music. (Jeopardy!) They needed 4,000 pokemoney… Battling people would not be enough and too tiring…Roxas looked down at Demyx. “Hmm…” Roxas put his fist into his other hand saying that he had a plan. “I got it! Demyx can put on a street show.” “Wha-?” Demyx looked up from playing. “That’s perfect!” Kiki did a nod in agreement. “With a big city like Goldenrod, we’re bound to get lots of money.” “Ok…” Demyx smiled. “But if I’m playing…Axel has to dance along.” “Wha-?” Axel stood stunned in shock. “I guess that’ll work.” Roxas smiled at the thought. “You always defeated me at DDR anyways, Axel.” “Wait a minute, that’s different.” “C’mon.” Demyx teased. “You said, ‘My hips don’t lie.’” “I was…uh…but…hey!” Roxas and Demyx started to tease Axel, while the quilava protested. Kiki on the other hand was confused. Was a pokemon able to play DDR? Finally, Axel agreed to the plan. “Okay, fine.” With a smile, Roxas set down the plan. “So in the morning time we can train, then take a lunch break. We’ll start a our side show in the afternoon ‘til twilight.” “And I can also see if I can get a small job with Marly.” Kiki added. “Just for extra money.” With the plan fully set, Roxas told Luxord their offer and the gambler agreed. ======================================== Wow this story is getting worse by the chapters. >_< I'm so sorry you guys.
