Book 2: teravoltXturboblaze

7: Pro Battling

<And this POV is Hyuu's (since I feel sorry for him for having a short chapter and late updates). Im really really sorry for late updates but we had Intramurals, Science Quiz Bee, and Math fest in the last couple of weeks!!! Anyway, a friendly clue or SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT:Remember the Swords Of Justice? They'll make a huge comeback for this book>

I had a bad time at Pokéstar Studios. Okay, maybe not all of it was bad. I hate to say this but I kind of liked the part where I save Faitsu's dignity. Can't blame me, she looked like a lost puppy last night. A rather cute lost puppy. WTF am I saying?!

Okay back to the present, we are currently walking back towards Aspertia City after a call from Rakutsu's mom. Apparently, Roxie wasn't the first Gym Leader we have to beat. There was this new guy who transferred to the Trainer's School back home and is declared the first gym leader of our city. We have to go back and well, defeat that guy, whoever he is.

"I heard he was supposed to be one of the competitors of the League and the Champion's friend," I said.

Faitsu flinched. I don't know why but every time we talk about the League and the Champion and that cursed Team Plasma, she always flinches. Maybe she knows something about them... that's good. Someday I'll ask her about what she knows about them, that'll help me kick their butts off. 

"Yeah, rumors. Hey we're almost there," Rakutsu said. Every time we talk about that, he always changes the topic. I'm sure these two are hiding something, and I NEED to know what it is. I just need the strength to ask it.

We arrived at the busy Aspertia City. Almost everyone was out and crowding at the Trainer's School. I can't see anything from here though because of all those noisy heads. 

"I need to go check on mom, she would be giving me something. I'll be back. Let's meet at the Center ok?" Rakutsu asked.

"Fine, I need to buy something in the Mart so yeah," Faitsu said and dashed away.

"Deal," I nodded, going towards the School. I can see wait..... is that Bianca???? I see a teenager with black hair and a red tie beside her. They're almost at the same age and it looks like they're close friends. Maybe they are some sort of couple or something. The guy looks nervous and keeps adjusting his tie and books, otherwise his posture shows that he's a tough trainer to beat. 

"So who wants to be the first challenger of Aspertia's first gym leader?" Bianca announced.

Some people were glancing and joking around, but otherwise no one wants to challenge him. The guy looks uneasy.

"I do," I raised my hand without thinking, making an awkward silence with the crowd. 

Stupid stupid stupid stupid....

The guy smiled, all nervousness lost "Okay then, I'll be waiting for you at the gym."

The gym trainers were noobs and Snivy can't even get a scratch from their attacks. What I was looking for is some trainer my other Pokémon would be worthy to challenge for. I have been saving him for this battle. My grandpa gave him to me, and he happens to have been bred from a good natured Pokémon. He had this rare hidden ability that would help me win at battles like it raises my attack by 30%. I think the ability is named "Sheer Force". He was given by the same grandpa who gave me the Purrloin Team Plasma stole.

"Welcome to Aspertia City's Pokémon gym. I'm Cheren, the gym leader! Well, maybe I'd better say that I just became the gym leader..." he cleared his throat. "This is my first battle as the gym leader but let's do our best and have a battle we can be proud of!"

I grinned. This guy knows his thing. 

"Patrat!!" Leader Cheren threw a Pokéball and out came a keen-looking Patrat.
