A New Tale Of What The Future Holds

Chapter 50: Trouble

*At a small restaurant in Mesagoza*

Nash, Kana and Delta sit at a table with empty plates on it. Delta and Kana sitting next to each other and Lucario sitting next to Nash across from them

Nash: Area Zero just gets better everytime I go there! Haha! Tomorrow I was thinking of going down there with Naofumi and Sabina to try and reach some deeper floors.

Delta: The haul we brought in should just be enough to cover renovating my room and Kana's. A couple thousand more and everyone else's rooms will be good. I'm gonna get a hotub in my room.

Kana: I'm going to make my room look like a dojo so I can train in there.

The three drink from mugs glasses of soda, many other customers looking at Nash and talking about him

Nash: So why is everyone looking at me?

Delta: Hmm? You mean you don't know?

Kana: People have been calling you the Rare Rookie.

Nash: "Rare Rookie?"

Kana: You originally got that nickname after making it to the Kalos League Finals four years ago.

Nash: I got a nickname four years ago?

Delta: I guess you really didn't know.

Kana: Not many people talked about you until you showed up here in Paldea. They started calling you the Shining Rookie not long after the Trainer War.

Nash: So I'm a Rare Rookie for making it to the finals of my first Pokémon Leauge and Shining Rookie after the Trainer War? Those are such lame names.

Nash lays his head on the table and Lucario pats his back while it continues to eat. A couple trainers near their table grin at them and get up, moving towards them

Trainer 1: Hey there runt. If you're getting some friends to go down to the deeper floors of Area Zero you all can tag along with me and my buddies. We're here visiting from a club in Cortondo, we've been as deep as floor twenty two.

Nash: Well...

Trainer 1: On one condition. Gotta let me and my brother take these two girls on a date to Cortondo.

Nash: Excuse m-

Kana: Screw off. You guys are just bottom of the barrel, and show some respect to the Vice Captain of another team.

Trainer 1: Oh come on, just joking around here, pretty thing.

The trainer slowly reaches for Kana's shoulder and she growls, throwing the rest of her drink in the boys face

Kana: I said screw off.

She grabs the top and bottom of her mug and slides the handle over the trainers hand, twisting it hard until he yells then proceeds to grab him by the shirt collar, throwing him over her body and onto her table, plates shattering and Lucario holds its bowl up high

Trainer 1: You little!

Trainer 2: If it's a fight you want, you just got one.

Trainer 3: Get your Pokémon out silver hair.

The three trainers get Pokéballs out. Sypha watches from the back of the restaurant and whistles loudly, her Armarouge standing up and growling

Trainer 1: Oh crap...

Trainer 3: The Leader of the Adventurers Club. Sypha Storm...

Sypha: This isn't the kind of establishment you have Pokémon battles in. Get out!
