Floodline City

Leo

We started early the next morning. It wasn't raining. Terra was punching buttons on her new pokedex, and at that moment a thought struck me.

"Hey, Scar." I said, "Weren't you going to get a pokedex too?" He jumped up in surprise. He started dancing around and flapping his arms.

"Oh my Arceus! I completely forgot in all of the excitement!" He kept ranting, and I looked around, bored with the spectacle. Raina was shaking her head and looking at Scar's pants. Strange. I looked back and noticed what she was looking at. A large square object was leaving an impression in his pocket every time Scar jumped in the air.

I calmly walked over to Scar and grabbed his shoulders, stopping the incessant bouncing. I reached into his pocket and pulled out three things. A pokedex, a trainer's license, and a piece of paper. I gave the pokedex and license to Scar, and opened the paper. I read its contents aloud.

"Surprise! I thought you might forget this, but I'm a quick thinker! Just remember to pickle your cucumbers, and cucumber your pickles.

Proffesor Redwood"
I stared at it little while longer, more than a little confused. Terra interrupted my thoughts.

"Hey! It says you're only level sixteen." I looked at her. How the hell am I only level sixteen? I could take down a ground type with an electrical attack!

"Well," I said, thinking up a reasonable excuse, "It must be the human genes. It is reading more my age than my level." She only grunted, rapidly pressing buttons again.

"What town is next?" Raina asked. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Terra cut me off with a flow of information.

"Next we have Floodline City, where it rains so hard that the streets are constantly flooded." Everyone groaned, but Terra continued, "The Gym Leader is Lorenzo Vincenzo Roquerra Scudachalupe Broncaleone. He specializes in water and ice types, and holds the Iceberg Badge."

"How do you know this?" I asked. She simply held up the pokedex in response. She then pointed it at Ember. It chimed out with a robotic voice.

"Chimchar, the Monkey Pokemon. Chimchar easily climbs the sheerest of walls and lives on mountain tops. When it sleeps, its flames go out. Level five. Attacks are Scratch, Growl, and Ember." Ember sighed at the low stats, but Terra patted her on the back.

"It's ok, it makes sense considering I never trained you." Ember was still depressed though. "How 'bout this. The next pokemon we meet, you battle all by yourself." She perked up at this. She was determined prove herself.

At that moment all the pokemon in the area, including myself, froze. We had our ears perked in the air. Scar looked around confused.

"What-" I shushed him. There. I heard it again, louder. A small ringing, like the delicate chime of a bell. I could hear it growing louder, getting closer. Now Terra was also tensed, preparing for the worst. The chiming became unbearably loud before stopping abruptly. I looked around the clearing, but saw nothing. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I saw a blur, something moving, fast.

I dashed at it, grabbing its long, cylindrical body and hurling it into the clearing. We all stood surprised at the beldum floating in our presence.

The chime rose up again, and the beldum charged with take down, aiming for Scar. Before it made contact Terra shouted.

"Ember, use ember!" Small sparks of fire surrounded the beldum, and it stopped, turning to the new threat. It charged again, now aiming for Ember. "Dodge!" Terra shouted. Ember jumped, but was early and landed on the back of the beldum as it soared underneath her. She now clung to it, riding it like a tauros at a rodeo. "Ember!" Terra shouted again, meaning the attack. The beldum was engulfed in flames, and was brought down by its natural weakness.

Ember jumped off as it struck the ground. A pokeball flew by her head, as it struck the pokemon it was sucked inside. The ball gave a couple of futile shakes before finally coming to a rest. We all held our breath, then Terra jumped in the air shouting.

"Yes, I caught a beldum!" She picked up the ball and released the now frightened pokemon. "So, what's your name?" The beldum shrunk away, scared of Terra's exuberance. Scar walked over calmly, running his hand down its back, calming it slightly.

"Won't you tell us your name, little one?" I was surprised by the calmness of his voice, and even more surprised when the beldum spoke. It was a buzzing, like heavy machinery, just much quieter.

"My... my name is... I don't have one..." The voice was obviously feminine somehow. Scar raised his hand again, and the beldum shrunk away. Aditi walked forward.

"What would you like to be called?" The beldum just hovered behind Scar, scared again. We sat for minutes, contemplating and tossing around random names.

"Danielle?"

"No."

"Cassandra?"

"No."

"Sarah?"

"No."

Suddenly Scar yelled, "JAMES BOND!" I smacked him over the head.

"THAT"S NOT A GIRLS NAME!"

"NATALIE STRAGANOVICH!" Raina shouted.

"WHY ARE WE YELLING?" Ember asked.

"I WANT TO SHOUT TOO!" Aditi yelled.

"I KNOW IT'S KINDA ADDICTIVE!" I yelled back.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" Terra screamed.

"NOOOO!" We responded. She quickly smacked us all over the head. "OUUCCHHH!" We turned to the beldum at the sound of bells again. She was shaking where she floated, probably laughing, but with each shake the clear bell note rang out. I looked at Terra.

"Bella?" She shook her head.

"No," she said, "Twilight ruined that name for me. Bell." Bell shook happily at her new name, but I just looked at Terra.

"What's Twilight?" She shook her head and started walking.

"We have to get moving if we're going to get to Floodline City." I reluctantly followed, and I looked at Bell, floating just above her right shoulder. A new ally? Just awesome. You just knew she was hiding something. It's always the quiet ones...

We reached the town in a few hours. It had started to rain again, harder then usual. We ran into the Pokemon Center and fell on the, already wet floor. As we were sprawled on the ground I had time to think about the trip here.

It was actually very boring. Lots of training for Ember and Bell. They were both level ten now. We quickly learned that the only attack Bell knew was take down. Oh well.

We walked up to Nurse Joy, Raina and I in human forms. She was so surprised by Aditi that she actually fell down. She sat on the ground for a moment then stood and composed herself.

"Welcome to the Floodline. May I take your pokemon to be healed?" Terra nodded and handed her Ember while Bell floated behind her.

"So," Terra asked, "is the gym open today?" Nurse Joy smiled knowingly.

"Yes, it is open everyday, but good luck getting a match." Terra pressed the subject, but she got no more information. Nurse Joy just told her to go find out for herself. So we did.

It isn't fun running through a heavy downpour, but it was relatively dry in the gym. The receptionist looked bored. Without even looking up he pointed towards his right.

"Just follow the snoring." I didn't even bother asking this time, partly because I was a pikachu again. We walked quietly, and eventually the sound of quiet snoring could be heard. It grew steadily louder until we reached the battlefield.

Above us the roof was open, or rather it had no roof and was open to the sky, letting in thousands of gallons of water, which soaked the field. The field was built like an ocean, glaciers floated around it randomly. We could still hear the snoring but I couldn't find the source. Suddenly Terra shouted and pointed across the large room.

"There's a bed over there! Hey lazy Gym Leader! Wake up! You got a challenge!" The snoring stopped abruptly. A figure sat up in the bed. As we got closer we could see a small fridge set up next to the bed, from which the man was pulling random foods.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm Lorenzo," he paused to yawn, "Gym Leader," He yawned. "and holder of the Glacier Badge, yada yada." He walked out onto the opposite side of the field where we could see him more clearly. First, he was tall, very tall, like over seven feet tell. But he wasn't lanky, or fat for that matter, he had a balance between the two. He was wearing a flashy blue tuxedo and top hat. A bold statement in this age. "The rules are three on three, no subs." He yawned again. "Do you agree?" Terra nodded. "Very well, REFFEREE!" A ref came out of a side door.

He raised his flags. "The challenger may choose first." Terra nodded and called for Ember to walk out, which I opposed, but Terra ignored me. Lorenzo nodded and threw out a pokeball.

"Go, Otto!" A seel appeared in the water, staring at Ember determinedly. "Ladies first."

Terra growled. "Ember, scratch!" Ember jumped from iceberg to iceberg, finally jumping above Otto.

"Otto, icy wind." Otto looked up at Ember and let loose a chilling wind. Ember was blown straight up.

"Ember, use ember!" Ember used the force behind her attack to direct her flight and land on another iceberg. Without skipping a beat she fired another ember at Otto. Most of the attack fizzled in the rain, and what did make contact wasn't very powerful.

"Otto," The lazy Gym leader yawned once more. "surf." Otto dove under water for a moment, then rose high into the air on a mighty wave. It encompassed the entire field, leaving Ember no where to run. Terra looked down sadly as she washed up at her feet. She returned her and sent out her second pokeball. Guess I'm her secret weapon.

"Go, Bell!' Bell appeared in her light chiming fashion. "Take down!" Terra yelled, seizing opportunity. Bell flew forward incredibly fast, credit to her training. Before Otto could move she slammed him head on, the bell chiming again. Otto was sent flying at Lorenzo, who calmly returned him and sent out his second.

"Go, Felicia." Now a dewgong appeared floating in the water. "Felicia, headbutt." Felicia began to charge.

"Meet it head on, take down!" The two pokemon came together with a horrible smack. They both began to sink into the water. "Take down, get out of the water!" Bell suddenly burst into the air in a large splash, largely fine.

"Rest, Felicia." We heard a quiet 'Dew', then nothing.

"Bell, take down! Just keep attacking it." Bell dove into the water chiming. We all waited patiently, but neither pokemon came up. Then Lorenzo yawned louder then normal.

"Icy wind." The water began to glow white, frost forming on the surface. Then in a spray of water and ice, Bell flew out and landed on an iceberg, out cold. Not even waiting for the ref, Terra recalled Bell and practically threw me onto the ice now covering the field.

"Get this done quick, Leo. Thunderbolt!" I stood over a hole in the ice and released a powerful jolt into the water. The room lit up with my electricity, casting everything in frightening, dark shadows. After thirty seconds of constant current, I cut-off the flow. I looked calmly at Lorenzo as Felicia floated to the surface. He recalled her and pulled out a third pokeball.

"This," He yawned yet again. "is my strongest pokemon. Good luck." He threw the ball onto the field. "Go, Iceburg." Another dewgong landed on the sheet of ice, but this one was monstrous compared to the other. He roared, scaring me slightly. "Iceburg, ice beam." The blast was so fast I barely got out of the way. The jagged beam of freezing temperatures left frost on my fur.

"Thunderbolt, Leo!" I shot electricity at the dewgong, hoping for a one-hit KO. I was shocked when it took the full force of the attack without flinching.

"Hydro cannon." I saw the glowing ball form, I heard the call to move, but I felt my pride tarnished by his stand-off at my attack. I was determined to stand my ground. Suddenly the pent up energy released in an explosive blast, shaking the air around me. It hit me with the force of a freight train going a thousand miles an hour, but I refused to move. Unfortunately, the force of it made me lose my concentration, and when the light cleared, a powerful half-breed stood where a small pikachu had been.

"Um, it's a long story." Terra quickly covered. Lorenzo merely shrugged, not really caring who he faced. "Fine, Leo, quick attack." I crouched low then sped off at the dewgong. He was frozen from the power it took to use hydro cannon. He slid a few feet when I hit him, but was otherwise unharmed.

"Iron tail." With a quick spin, I was slammed with the glowing appendage and sent skidding much farther then I had moved Iceburg. "Now, ice beam again, and keep it up." He yawned. The beams of freezing temperatures flashed around me as I ran from cover to cover. I wasn't going to last much longer at this rate.

"Leo, run at it with agility, avoid the ice beams." I began running, side-stepping the ice beams as they came when I was ten feet away I heard my death call.

After another loud yawn the man commanded. "Surf." The ice broke as the water surged to meet the call. I tried to back pedal, but slipped on ice. I was swept away when the wave hit. I heard Terra yelling something, but ignored it and focused. A section of the ice floor broke underneath me, about ten feet long and two feet wide. Now what have I learned about surfing?

I rode the wave like an Islander, but couldn't see Iceburg rising behind me. He burst threw the wall of water, tail glowing with an iron tail. Terra saw him though.

"Grab him, Leo. Then jump into the center of the arena." I did as told. I grabbed the dewgong around the chest, ignoring its struggles, and jumped into the pouring rain. Above me dark clouds blocked out the sun. I think I know where Terra's going with this.

"Thunder!" I called down the might of the heavens and slammed it down onto our bodies. When we landed I threw the unconscious pokemon at his trainer. He was returned mid-air.

"The challenger is victorious." The ref called, and left. Lorenzo nodded then went back to his bed. Without a word he collapsed on it, not even bothering to remove his top hat.

"Hey, what about my badge?" Terra asked, happy despite his attitude. He held up a small glittering object.

He yawned. "Come and get it." After collecting her badge, Terra ran over to me and rapped her arms around my neck.

"Thank you, Leo." She pulled back for a moment and I looked into her eyes. We stared for moments before I pulled her in closer. A spark shot threw my body and into hers when our lips met. She moaned into the kiss, but I pulled away, staring sheepishly at our companions. Raina rolled her eyes, Scar smiled, and Aditi looked angry.

"Can we leave now?" She asked, storming out. I laughed and followed, never releasing Terra's waist.
