Story Notes:

I'll be posting these one a day, until I catch up to where I am on FA.


Episode 5

Robie stretched out a bit more, smiling, before going back to the tent and waking everyone up. The morning was a surprise as Boltma decided to shock her up lighting... though what luck she ended up getting so fast to knock part of the tent down ontop of them. Another typical morning mishap to Sandi. "I...hate...mornings."

Robie chuckled, getting out of the tent, "I know." Recalling Boltma, Sandi got out. Robie smiled at Fayt and Kari, "I take it you two had a good time?" he patted Fayt on the head when he got a nod. kari nods as well as the espeon nuzzled a bit with a smile. Robie smiled, "Looks like damn near every one lost their virginity last night." Kari had to giggle and looks to him on that with a smile. He smiled back, "Curious? Well...let's just say Boltma got a little lightning rod last night." he chuckled. She had to blush and giggle on that. Seems it ws great. He smiled, and stretched again, before calling Fayt back, "Welp...let's gather things up and get going to the town." Sandi nodded, smiling as they get moving and eventually get into the city.

Robie looked about, "Now...where's the gym?" Then he thought of it, "Actually...I need to get my four pokemon checked first. Especially my new dragon."

She looked at him on that. "Didn't I warn you earlier?" she kept looking at him, worried.

"I know I know. Sorry. I'm just excited to try my first gym battle. But first...I've got a dragon to make sure is well...I wonder how Nurse Joy's going to take this." He chuckled, imagining the reaction. She had to smile as they are at least got to the center and had to keep it down. But that didn't really go so well...as they heard Joy scream, "Oh my god you can't be serious!" She looked out, "Is this really a Ray.." Robie, nodded, motioning for her to keep it down.

Sandi had to sweat a bit...thinking as fast as she can...at least it'll be a Rapidash as she had to watch how this'll go.. thankfully no one took it too serious.. though she did note someone watching ... she'd have to watch for that person as Joy properly took care of the pokemon he had. Joy returned the pokemon, "Here you go...sorry about that...just don't see to many trainers with that pokemon...especially when they don't have a single badge."

Robie smiled, "It's okay." he waved as they set off for the gym next. Sandi could see someone was behind them as they left after getting their pokemon checked too. She's starting to get the feeling they aren't being followed as the claw Gym is ready for new challengers.

A Zangoose wearing a headband greets them as it's clearly a bit of a dojo gym... as they saw the gym leader is a teacher as he was seeming to show a Sneasel how to use Cut with using his own sword before they got interupted.* "Salutations young trainer."

"Yo. I'm Robie, from Bristle town. I'm here for my badge!" Robie was smiling.

"A Bristle villager." giving a smirk he stands as he hilts his blade, "Your the 4th one I seen this year. And might be the 4th to fail. I'm known as Haro, the Claw Gym Leader and teacher of the claw arts to pokemon and sword arts to humans."

Robie smirked back, "Sorry...but...I'm not going to lose. I've got pokemon that are a lot more powerful then anything you could hope to match. I'll beat you claw with teeth and tail!"

"I heard that line thrice before. We'll see how you stand. this'll be a best of three. First two victories becomes the champions of the day. Agreed?"

Robie nodded, "Alright. Cerberus, to the front! Let your fury burn like an inferno!"

The dexter ref activated for them both as Haro claped twice.. his Zangoose sitting besides him in the trainer's spot of the arena. "Charmander, come forth for battle." a fair fight.. the fire pokemon wore a three notched focus band as he seems ready to fight. "Opponents strike first."

Robie smiled, "Fine...shadow ball!" Cerberus obeyed and fired, hitting the chamander square in the face. Robie smiled, "wow...fast." It hit hard but soon he saw a silver flash to the claws.

"Impressive. Charmander, Dragon Claw STRIKE!" Robie saw how powerful that was as the big canine got slashed down and then slashed into the sky. It's like those claws are mini swords.. and his dog is getting cut up at the face as the Charmander was about to follow up to dragon claw him in the air.

"Iron tail go!" Cerberus did a forward flip and knocked the charmander into the ground, "Follow with shadow ball!" he struck at the chamanders back, "Now bite the tail and hold on..." Cerberus obeyed, clamping his teeth down hard, "And now spin him around then toss!" Cerberus yanked the chamander around before tossing him like a piece of trash.

It's clear he's good but the charmander glares before the call is out. "Metal Claw spin to escape... and then Dragon Claw to the neck!" The first shot blinds on the face and then he's going for the neck... it'll be a heavy hit if that hppened. "Roll backwards!" Cerberus obeyed and dodged the attack, "Now hit him up with an iron tail!" The attack connected and put the charmander in the air, defenceless. "Now...Hyper Beam!" The attack hit, and sent the charmander out of the ring and into a wall. Charmander whenced...falling onto his belly as the gong hit from the fact the dexters said it's a KO... Robie got one. Robie lept up, "Alright. Great work Cerberus!"

The Charmander got recalled to his ball...as the Zangoose commentated a bit to his master. "Agreed. the student did well for his battle against a trainer. You care to call forth the second fighter?" With that the Zangoose pointed to the pokeball that was on the belt to the middle. "Agreed. Gligar, come forth. You are allowed to exchange a figther if you desire...but if you decide to keep with your current fighter it is your choice."

Robie smiled, and recalled Cerberus. "Come out Lemon!" The buizel appeared, battle ready. "This should be an easy win...gligar is weak againt water types." Lemon nodded, smirking.

Haro glared, "IGNORANCE SHALL NOT BE TOLLORATED... FOR THAT CROSS POISON STRIKE!" That pokemon was fast...as Lemon got launched to the sky as a purple x was on Lemon's belly...pissing her off before her eyes showed she isn't seeming good. Dexter chimmed in, "Buizel has been poisoned."

"Lemon!" she glared, "Use aqua jet!" She launched and struck the gligar.

"Slash... and watch her power with me." the pokemon both hit as Lemon whenced as she held her arm though the Gligar was shaking from the water hit but not badly. "...As I thoguht.... one move will take this match. Prepare yourself Gligar." It's taking an odd stance now.

"Lemon...use brine!" She obeyed, and unleashed the attack, then fell on a knee, cringing in pain. But, Just as Brine was used, "Now Guillotine!" Lemon saw the pokemon speed by so fast... before a flash. Silence...before Lemon wailed.. holding her neck before she blacked out. "Buizel is unable to Battle." The gong Rang... round 2 is over... no wonder this guy defeated three people from his home before him. It's 1-1 even. Robie called back Lemon, and waited for the next pokemon. He'd need to see what he was up against before he chose between Fayt...or Rayquaza.

"Your convidence in your pokemon is up to you." With that the Zangoose Glares to Robie now...standing as he took to stand infront of his master the Claw Badge is on his focus Band head band. So he protects the badge if it comes down to the wire. Robie took a deep breath, and looked at his opponent. Fayt might stand a chance...but...Rayquaza was a sure win...and a sure way to get some unwanted attention if he did serious damage to the gym. And Sandi had warned him NOT to use him since it'll draw attation so it's probably Fayt against the swordsmen of the gym in pokemon. Robie sighed, and took out Fayt's pokeball, "Fayt...show them who's fated to win!" Fayt appeared and let loose a snarl. This is the last stand for both trainers now as Zangoose was Faster and almost was too painful for Sandi to watch as Haro called forth Crush Claw, it's clear who's faster as Fayt got it right between the eyes to send him to the floor. Not a Knock out but painful to watch. Robie smiled though, "Alright...let's get rid of that speed....CRUNCH THAT LEG!!!!" Fayt sunk his teeth in, applying ungodly amounts of pressure on the leg, "Now fling him around a bit." Fayt whipped his head back and forth, which knocked the zangoose on the ground again and again, before Robie told him to release with a headbutt. The zangoose landed, and grunted, a searing pain in his leg. But amazingly he was back on it even if in pain as Fayt was smashed to teh wall with a Poison Jab... slaming the canine to the wall and soon had a purple glow on his body as that was a painful hit. "Mightyena has been poisoned." Dexter chimed.

Robie cursed, he should have used Rayquaza. He sighed, then noticed the zangoose fall to a knee, his bad leg giving out, "Use iron tail!" Fayt smacked the zangoose back, "Hit him with everything you got, just don't let up!" Fayt struck with bites, crunches, iron tails, tackles, headbutts, knocking the zangoose around and not letting it strike back. When he saw the zangoose begining to loose balance Robie need to take the chance, as Fayt was getting weaker too, "Now...hyper beam...full force!!!" Fayt lauched it, point blank into the gut, and knocked the zangoose back even farther, right to the wall. Using it's last amount of power it's clear this'll be messy, "Break though with X-Scissor." using the power of he had left the Zangoose slashed the attack though as the wave of energy from the attack sent Fayt to the wall again... but it was a surprise to hear two calls at once.. the first from Haro's Dexter. "Zangoose is unable to battle." and just after that Fayt falled to the ground as Robie's dexter spoke up. "Mightyena is unable to battle."

Robie rushed to Fayt, and inspected him, he sighed, "just out cold...you did great buddy. I'm proud of you." he called Fayt into his pokeball.

Smiles as he got up and revived his pokemon with a gem that is a Revive. "Your power has been impressive compaired to the others. If you be careful of your confidence then you will be a very damaging opponet in the future. But with such talent I would like-"

"TO TAKE YOUR POKEMON!" A blast net goes for Zangoose as Haro and his pokemon slashed the metal netting. "Wha...oh crap!" It's them again.. that Zero symbol on the chest.

Robie glared, "Just who are you guys anyway!?" he didn't like this...he didn't have anyone in his arsenal except Cerberus, and he was too weak...well...he also had Rayquaza...and that might be what was needed.

This was when Sandi took over in the fight as she shot her balls out. "Boltma, Kari, Action in three two one! Irontail to you both!" The two of them soon spin smash the weapon out of the paws as Kari saw he almost called a pokemon out, but stoped him from using it using her Psychic attack. At least it's good to know they stoped this bad trainer. Robie sighed, thanking heaven Sandi was there, "Cerberus! To the front lines!" Cerberus emerged and growled threateningly at the strange people.

Kari kept their hands bound up good and tight as team Nothingness was caught again. "You know we got to stop meeting guys like these... they make us look jinxed." Sandi pokes to one of their heads.

Robie moved up, "now...who are you guys...tell me before my dog mistakes you for chew toys." Cerberus growled, with a smirk.

Robie got a glare in responce from a grunt, "We're Team Nothingness...and we'll return the world to the peace of nothing."

Sandi eyed them, "Your like the Magmas and Aquas...." She read up about them in her studies of pokemon history. Team rocket was clearly evil, and Naturalizations usually think they are bringing peace when they are causing chaos.

Robie eyed them, "Well...I guess we should call the cops on these guys...they can't be allowed to go free."

Sandi nodded, "Yea.. besides you know how much damage they cause if they do that."

Robie waited until officer Jenny came along and took the grunts away. Robie sighed, and turned to Haro, "umm...you were saying?"

Haro nodded, "as I was saying... for the proud victory and your hard will I'll present to you our badge." the Zangoose went up to Robie... taking off the focus band and gave it and the focus band to him. Robie held the badge up, "Alright...one step closer to becoming the master!" Cerberus barked, smirking. Robie smiled, "Cerberus...you did great in your battle. Thanks." He got a bark in return. He shook Haro's hand, "Thanks."

Haro nodded, "You're next goal should be the fang badge."

Sandi nodded, "That is one of the dangerous badges around since they are sorta like this gym but go for more... physical closeness."

Robie smiled, "Alright...that's in Raminton city."

Haro nodded, "Yes...go north from here to Campala town...I think there's a contest there too...but from there head east."

Sandi smiled, "Thank you." the two of them decided to at least get to the Pokemon Center since that was a mess. They handed their pokemon to Nurse Joy, and when they were healed up, they headed out north, for Campala town. "This day seemed to go well. Espcially considering what we did." Robie nodded, looking up at the sky, smiling at his victory. "Remember what happened to Lemon since I know that gall took a bashing."

He sighed, and called Lemon out, "Hey Lemon..." he kneeled down and pet her, "I know you did all you could..." he smiled, "I'm proud of all your work." She smiled... feeling bit better though her belly growled when she was about to speak. Robie smiled and pet her head, "Come on...let's take a break and get you some food." he moved to a small clearing, and began to wipe up some chow, feeding his pokemon first, and letting Lemon eat at the table with them when she asked. He then made up food for Sandi's pokemon, and finally for himself and her. Robie looked about, "I think Rayquaza might be hungry too..." he released the dragon, looking at Sandi, "I know it's dangerous...but I can't just ignore him." He put a large pile of food infront of the dragon.

"True... but at least lets make sure no one is around.. you know what happens if we get a surprise." that's a probably the best advice of all since she knows legendaries are BOUND to draw attention.

Robie nodded, and made it so Rayquaza was somewhat sealed. "Alright...dig in." Rayquaza did so, a small smile visable. Robie sat next to Lemon and pet her head, "Enjoying yourself Lemon?" Lemon nods... her tails waving as she eats up. Robie looked behind him, and saw his two dogs were done and snoozing, Robie recalled them and looked back at Lemon, "How about you stay out of your pokeball for a bit and walk around with us?" Robie felt guilty that his over confidence had gotten her hurt, and he wanted to make it up to her. She smiled... nodding as that was a clear change of pace... the Rayquaza finishing up his meal as Sandi finished calling back her girls... the male of her group still growling at her as it's clear he's not giving her slack. Rayquaza growled at the male, and Robie recalled him when the houndoom was scared frightened. Robie smiled and pet Lemon again, "Calm on girl..." he gave her a quick scratch on the back.

She followed quickly as she smiled. "I can't get a break with this guy... I'm not scared of him and he isn't scared of me."

Robie shrugged, "I don't know what to tell you. I mean...Cerberus seems to like me...maybe you should try a reward system..."

"I haven't gotten him to that part.. I was trying to get to know him."

Robie looked to her, "Maybe you should take him out and talk with him...me and Lemon will make sure nothing will happen." Smiles and nod as she releaesd her pokemon with a smile...the male noting the numbers. Robie leaned to Lemon, "Hit him if he tries anything k?" She nods.. as the male glared at the trainers... clearly not into being the sub of anything. Robie glared, "Hey! Watch it!" the houng growled... clearly he isn't letting him take what he wants as he growled deeply. Robie looked to Sandi, "i thought you were supposed to be talking to him..."

Sandi sighed, "This is what I usually get out of him." as she demonstrates when she tried to talk to him he tried to push her down to his level.

Robie sighed, and looked at the dog, "Okay then...listen up...you want to get respect...start showing it to Sandi...she a good trainer, and she can be a good friend..."

"Indeed. Since I at least want to be kind to you." Though it's clear he was trying to strait face.

Robie smiled, "just try talking listening to her...I can tell you...she's a great friend." he pet Lemon, "And there are benifits to being nice to your trainer...for one...you get time outside the pokeball..." it seems it worked somewhat.... Sandi was able to pet him as it seems he wanted to be the alpha of the females of his side but then again he should consider himself lucky. Robie eyed him, "But don't go making the fems do anything...hear me...otherwise...I'll have Lemon here bite you wang off." Lemon gave a snap for emphasis.

Seems he is clearly not taking Robie seriously. Sandi sighed, "Great.. if I get two machos were going to be here a while."

Robie made a gesture with his hand, then Lemon let loose a water gun at the male. Robie glared at the male houndoom, "Listen up! Sandi, and her girls are my good friends...if you hurt them or force them to do anything...I will make you wish I'd have killed you!" he yelped at the water s he now shook his head iwth a nod... finally. now he's at least reasonable. Robie nodded, "Good...now...if the girls want you...that's a different story...but...you'll have to be nice to them..." Lemon had to grin and nod on that. Knowing that was good to know. Though that probably hit robie as they were ending their travel for the day... the two newest fems probably haven't had fun. Robie smiled at Lemon and gave her another pet, "Well...thanks for the help Lemon...if you ever need me to help you with something...say the word...then try to help me understand what you said..." he chuckled, "Let's set up camp first...it's getting late." nods and hugs him as Sandi had to comfort the Houndoom with a smile. Robie hugged Lemon back, and gave her a kiss to the forehead, before getting camp ready. Lemon helping him out as best she could.

Sandi looked to Burner, "Ok burner.. how about the fire scene." They got the firewood burning as the tents are pitched. This is one time she's gld to have him by her side now. Robie smiled, crawling into his tent, and laying down, "Ahh..." he smiled serenly, wondering how'd he break Lemon into woman hood. He did trust Cerberus...but...he didn't want to trigger any old habits...plus...he and Lemon didn't really start off well. He'd either have to find her another male...or...he sighed, knowing if he couldn't get a male...he'd have to do it himself.

"Having conflicts too?" She's holding Blayda's ball in her hand as she already put up Burner.

Robie nodded, "Yeah...if we can't find a male for Lemon...or Blayda...well...I'm only one guy." Robie smiled, "Though...I wouldn't mind trying at Lemon..." Lemon...behind the tent, blushed big.

"Well I know we will have a chance to find Blayda a co-star..since I heard of a Trapinch breeding ground was on the way here."

Robie smiled, "Good...never really was a fan of bugs...I like fur..." he chuckled, "though...just skin would do me fine too." he said, eyeing Sandi. "Now...that just leaves my sweet little Lemon...who would she want to...give her the trip to womanhood?"

"Well you got two men but that's cut in half since she battled with one of them."

Robie nodded again, then looked about, "Hey...where is she? Lemon!" Lemon was poking her head out of the tent when he looked a second time. Robie smiled, "Oh...there you are...thought I..." he noticed she was a bit red, "...you okay Lemon?" She wsa flustered and rubs her head a bit. Robie gulped, "Ohh...did you hear what...we were discussing?" She looks down and kicked a bit...she did hear him. Robie smiled, "It's up to you when and with who it happens Lemon...remember that..." he pet her head, "And I'll do everything I can to make it what you want." She smield.. nodding from that feeling and feels happy from it. Robie smiled and gave her a hug, "Good."

She chuckled and licked softly, happy to know that he'd do that for her. Robie smiled at her, before giving her a lick on the nose. She smiled and blushed. "No matter who it is...and now matter when...I'll do it for you...because you're on my team...and that's what I do for my friends." She keeps close.. as she soon drifted into sleep with a smile. He smiled at her, deciding to let her sleep out of her pokeball tonight. He shut his tent, and snuggled into his sleeping bag, with her beside him. He layed his head down, Lemon in his arms and fell asleep.
