Murkrow struggled to get up as Scizor's attack had really left him in an injured state.
" Pikachu, you want to tag in." Pikachu jumped from Austin's shoulders as he landed on the battlefield.
"Murkrow, Aerial Ace!" Paul commanded.
As the dark type flew towards Pikachu with its body being surrounded in strips of white light.
" Discharge." Austin calmly said causing...
" Ivysaur !"
With a shout, Ivysaur fired solar beam from its bulb that overpowered through the solar beam.
"Magmortar, Flamethrower!" Paul commanded.
" Sludge Bomb." Austin commanded Ivysaur launched a glob of posion at Magmortar's flames.
"Slamming Edge!" Austin commanded as Ivysaur ate an Energy ball before launching his combo of body slam and double edge as white aura engulfed th...

[ Celadon City - Park ]
Yellow's eyes widened as she saw Paul before looking at Austin who nodded.
" This will be a full battle, so let this battle...BEGIN!" Yellow exclaimed as turned to see Green making a betting range.
"Sneasel! Stand by for battle!" Paul exclaimed as he threw a Pokeball, and out of it was the Dark and Ice type which looked like a bipedal black cat...
" Ally Switch" Austin said as Abra showed Zippo the middle finger before his body glowed with a white light.
With Ally Switch, Abra disappeared replaced by the rocky rhinoceros who stood grunting, glaring at the fire type in front of him, as it waited for his trainer's instructions. Over the last two weeks, rhyhorn had grown in size, and gained a lot of body mass as it trained with Charmeleo...
[ Celdon City - Park ]
A crowd of trainers gathered in the famous Celdon City Park with the goal of wining the fossil Pokemon.
" Hey, are you for real ?"
" Yeah, I saw the guy take out an Omanyte in the pokemon center."
" Hey, there he is." Someone in the crowd shouted out causing everyone to turn towards Austin and Yellow who were wearing gothic cyber masks to hide their identit...

[ Richie's POV ]
( ~ Barf ~ )
Looking up from the sink, I couldn't help by sigh with exhaustion visible on my face.
Even with months of therapy, seeing someone get killed infront of you isn't easily to deal with.
" Pika !"
Sparky, the Pikachu exclaimed in worry causing me to put on a forced smile.
" Don't worry buddy, I just ate something ...
" Hmm, do you want to continue ?" Austin curiously asked.
" Huh, don't think you have won this, I can still turn this around!" Gary shouted out causing Austin to raise one eyebrow.
" So you like six to one odds, huh." Austin asked with a chuckle causing Gary's glare to increase as he said," Let's go, Blastoise!"
With an enormous roar, Blastoise appeared in front of Pikachu, its hulking...
Ash stared at the Kadabra, who looked ready to pounce upon Haunter, before throwing a side glance at him.
" Haunter return, go Musharna."
Haunter disappeared in a flash of red replaced by rounded, bipedal Pokémon that had a tapir-like trunk. With a body of light purple, while its head a pale pink. It had oval, red eyes with three eyelashes and dark pink ovals on its forehead and cheeks....
" Chansey, return." Austin excalimed calmly. "Go, Haunter."
The red light accumulated as Haunter appeared out of an amalgamation of shadows causing gasps to go around the crowd that had formed.
" Chansey went first. Go with the plan." Austin whispered, knowing very well that Haunter's sharp senses would pick up on it, as her eyes glowed brightly.
" Go, Nidoqueen, use crunch !"
Nidoq...
Standing on the other side of the public trainer battle field, Austin could see Gary's unbridled fury towards him.
Looks like his words really got to him.
"A Lucario, eh?" Gary leered. "That's a rare pokémon. You are putting her to battle against my team, aren't you?"
" Did he just call me a female ?" Lucario asked in a dangerously calm voice.
"Huh?" Austin said, a little off-guard...
" Oh, wow! It's Celadon City!" Yellow squealed as she clasped her hands together.
"It's a lot bigger than I thought it was" Austin exclaimed as he looked at the giant city that seemed to make Saffron City look like a joke.
" You know, I didn't think my competition at the Battle Chateau was so important." Yellow said to Austin with a smile causing him to nod.
He didn't have the heart to...
[ Black Lotus Cult - Demon Prison Cave ]
A huge underground cave stretched out beneath the Mount Meru.
Words couldn't describe how expansive this cave was that if not for the torches hanging all over to light up the place, it would be impossible to even guess the size.
This underground cave system was used as the Demon Prison Cave.
A training facility of the Black Lotus Cult that cr...
I glanced at the snake passing near me.
It was the one responsible for biting my wrist and even though I almost died because of the snake's venom, I felt no animosity toward the small creature.
It was just an animal that didn't know better.
I did not particularly hate or fear the snake since it did it out of survival. The snake had to bite for it to live. The snake slaughtered a large ...
Isolation in the dark wore out my emotions,
and my capacity for feeling fear seemed to
have died out in the abyss.
My wrist suddenly tingled.
Surprised by the pain as if being stabbed by a
needle, I looked down and saw a faint outline of a small snake biting my wrist.
The snake soon wrapped its entire body
around my wrist with a tight bite.
"Hiss..."
I tried to get ri...
Food was given at the same time once a day.
7 - 12 hours after I woke up, a weird symbol would glow causing a small window to open by the door with the food being delivered.
There wasn't an actual set time rather it was as if the person delivering the food was procrastinating with the task or the distance between where I was kept and where they were, took some time to cover.
It was jus...
" Hey, Butterfree! What do say we help you get the pink Butterfree's attention?" Lucario suggested.
"Freee?" it asked hopefully.
"Of course! We'll all help you! Right, guys?" Yellow asked, receiving a nod from everyone else.
Austin suddenly stood up while thinking ' Austin, Stop acting like a bitch and help your buddy get laid.'
Austin exclaiming," I think a good way to impress the ...

" Iny, use extreme speed !" Yellow yelled out as Dratini shot towards the stoic Hitmonlee who suddenly kicked out as his leg shot like a spring directly hitting the small dragon in the face knocking it out.
Hitmonlee bowed before turning to the quite Austin who saw Dr Akihabara's message.
" Oi, idiot your new fighting type has won." Lucario called out as he used Yellow's...
Dr Akihabara couldn't help but gulp as he gazed upon the figure sitting on his chair with an Abra floating besides him, the mysterious individual had his face covered while wearing gloves and a greyish yellow trench coat.
If anything, the guy looked like one of those 19's detectives.
The figure was reading through notes that Dr Akihabara had left on the ground meanwhile Abra looked at the...

( ~ Sweep ~ )
( ~ Sweep ~ )
The Old Master of the Fighting Dojo cleaned the front of his dojo while his face was covered by bandaids.
A few hours ago, his son Trodaire had announced that he was going on his pokemon journey followed by all his brothers.
With the money that had been given to them by Austin, the Fighting Dojo wouldn't have much of a ...

The sounds of flesh hitting echoed throughout the old dojo causing Trodaire to stire as he opened his eyes.
" I'll get ya a glass." Paulie said while Trodaire looking at his brothers.
" You awake .... Trodaire."
" Huh, what happened?"
" Go get yourself a popcorn."
The Old Master performed a 360° tornado kick but Austin was quick...
I hastily brought the plate to my face.
An unidentified smell stimulated my sense of smell. I didn't know what kind of food it was.
It was clear that the mix of things was probably a collection of leftovers.
Still, it will taste better than the moss that I had scraped. In fact, immediately after smelling the food, my mouth was salivating.
However, I did not eat food as it was the fo...

" That was so awesome, you were like this..." Yellow said while doing a punch," Then you were like this."
Yellow tried to kick up but ended up falling if it wasn't for Austin catching her on time.
A bright blush erupted on Yellow's face as she shy said," You were awesome."
Hearing Yellow's compliment, Austin couldn't help but smile.
He would be lying if Yellow's w...
I opened my eyes.
In fact, it was unclear whether my eyes were open or still closed in this place.
Whether I opened my eyes or closed them, all I could see was darkness
I laid still and tried to gauge how much time had passed.
It didn't seem like a long time had passed since I didn't feel hungry.
For the past few days, I had lived by eating moss on the walls.
I thought I would...

" Now move the belt to the left...." Trodaire's words echoed through the old dojo as he showed Austin how to wear a Karate Gi meanwhile onto the side, some students were complaining to the Old Master.
" Master, is this really necessary?"
" Yeah, that brat doesn't even know how to wear a Gi, how is he supposed to fight us ?"
While his students complained, the Old Maste...
" Young man, are you alright ?" The Old Master asked.
With a deep breath, Austin answered," Yes, I am alright."
Austin then stepped to the center of the dojo.
"Very well! Your opponent will be Trodaire!" The Old Master determined.
Trodaire stepped up to the center of the fighting dojo, as well. He and Austin both bowed to one another before pulling out a respective pokeball.

Trodaire had Austin and Yellow wait in the Dojo as the duo were shocked at state of the dojo meanwhile Lucario was angered at the state.
They could see that the carpets had been nibbled on by Raticate with mold covering the edges of the room.
The equipment was extremely old and looked like it was beginning to breakdown.
" Is this really a dojo ?" Yellow asked.
" Ye...

Walking down the busy streets of Saffron city, Austin tried to ignore Pikachu and Luacrio's death glares while Yellow was enjoying her mochi which he had to pay for since Yellow was the eventual winner of the dance off or as Lucario calls it, swaying.
Pikachu was salty that he didn't won and his trainer wouldn't buy his ice cream with ketchup even after looking at his cute ...

Walking out of shower, Austin couldn't help sigh as he brushed his long hair aside.
Maybe he should consider getting a haircut.
" Long hair, isn't your style?" A voice called out causing Austin to immediately turn where he saw Sabrina sitting on his bed with a few books behinds her.
" Good to see you, face to face."

[ Austin's POV ]
Waking up was usually a pleasant experience but after everything that happened on the SS. Anne, sleep had essentially become closing my eyes and then opening them. I never even felt that I had gone to sleep. Without any dreams, all I saw was nothing but darkness every night.
Maybe that was for the best since my mental strength couldn't have taken on the nightmares that f...
"If this doesn't work, you have my full permission to make fun of me later." Austin warned, being careful to keep his voice steady as he didn't want to disturb Musharna's battle with the psychic.
Austin figured if he could disrupt the psychic, then hopefully, Musharna and Lucario would be able to help him take out whatever it was.
