J-Awesome_One

As we walked towards the apartment, Laura could see that I was still saddened about leaving Arbok in the PokeCenter. Laura: Hey hun. It’ll be ok. When we get Luna out of there, Jessie will be all better. Matthew: I know… I just wish none of this happened. Laura: I know but everything will be ok. Matthew: I know hun. Thanks. We made it to the apartment and walked in. Only the receptionist was there at the desk. We walked up to her but we were nervous. We didn’t know what to say. Before we did though, she spoke. Receptionist: Hello and good day. Admittance to these apartments are for residents only. Matthew: Well, uh… we- Receptionist: But fortunately for you, I’ve already been informed that you’re a new “resident.” Matthew: Uhh… my girl is 1 too right? The girl turned around and dialed up a number on her phone. I don’t know what was said but a few seconds later, she turned around and opened the door next to us and allowed us in. Whatever was said over the phone allowed Laura to be granted access as well. When we went to the next room, we were greeted by 1 of the Aqua Gang Members. Mannie: Yooo Matthew, buddy. What’s up? Matthew: Just going down to 7th Street. Mannie: Cool. Yoooo. Is that your gi… Wait a minute? Is that… Laura?! From the Elite 4!? Laura: Wait wait. Mannie right? Look, I don’t care what you or your gang or whoever else is doing down here. Me and Matt are only here to find a friend of ours. She’s been kidnapped and we heard she could be here. So please. Help us. Mannie: Well… alright. I can do that. Mannie hit the button and the elevator went down. When we reached the bottom, we exited the elevator and into a storage room. But after going through the next door, we were in, what we assumed to be, 7th Street. It was kind of awesome. It felt like a city underground but with actual buildings. Laura: Wow… I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s kind of creepy. Matthew: It’s kind of awesome. Laura: What?! Matthew: Well I mean… I just like stuff like this. I’m sorry. Laura: -sigh- It’s ok. We just need to find Luna. Matthew: Right. Let’s go look around. Maybe ask some of these people if they’ve seen anything. We started looking around the place. We looked inside buildings and asked some people we came across if they saw anything weird recently. We’d either get weird looks, answers that didn’t pertain to the questions we asked or they just wanted “rare candies.” I also came across some now former members of the Magma Gang and engaged them in battles. As we were continuing the search, I told Laura what I had to do to get the info about 7th Street. She seemed shocked by what I did but didn’t seem to hate me for it. As we were about to go up, we heard someone yelling. Laura didn’t know who it was but I did. I knew exactly who it was. Laura: Who the heck is that? Matthew: Remember the old woman I told you about? Laura: Yea? Craudburry: Miserable lout, PATHETIC inventory! If this is really all you’ve got, you ought to be ashamed of your scruffy-rumped self! Laura: Why is she down here? Matthew: I have no clue. Craudburry: Do not call me again until you have something worth my time! Matthew: I think we should leave now before she- Craudburry: Ohh great. It’s you. Matthew: -sigh- Hi… Craudburry: I should have known I’d see low-life scum like you lolligagging around down here! Laura: Don’t call my boyfriend low-life scum! Craudburry: And you missy! Don’t think I don’t know who you are! You are 1 of the Elite 4 and you are with this heathen of a druggy?! You’re just as bad as the rest of these dumbasses! Matthew: You motherfuc- Craudburry: Don’t talk to me criminal swine! You aren’t worth my breath or you’re unattractive whore there! Drivelling musus with every step… Bah! She walked away after insulting my girlfriend. I didn’t care what she called me but she had no right to say that to Laura. I was filling up with anger and rage. But just then, another familiar voice reared its not so ugly face. Archer: Could hear her on the other side of this place. Quite the mouth that 1 has, doesn’t she? Matthew: -turns around with Laura- You can say that again. Laura: Who are you? Archer: The name is Archer. I am the Leader of the Aqua Gang. It’s a pleasure to meet you Laura. Laura: Nice to meet you too I suppose. Matthew: So what do you want? Archer: I know I said I’ve already asked enough from you but I wanted to ask you for help for 1 more thing. Matthew: Look Archer, you’re not a bad dude but I- Archer: It’s about that hag, Craudburry. Matthew:… Alright. I’m listening. Laura: Matt, we- Matthew: Hold on Laura. Archer: That bitch. She pretends to be such an upstanding citizen but she just plays the streets down here with her wealth. Matthew: I get that she’s been a thorn in your side for a long time, prob a lot of other people too, but can you just get to the point? Archer: Of course. That Pokemon we stole from her before was 1 she had bought illegally here. That’s why I didn’t feel bad for targeting her. But nonetheless, her attitude is insufferable. Yet, no 1 down here wants to risk having their ears blown off by that woman’s blabbering if they try to stand up to her. Laura: So you want Matthew to shut her up. Is that right? Archer: Precisely. You have quite a smart girl here Matthew. I do apologize for what she called you by the way. Laura: It’s ok. But we don’t have time for- Matthew: Alright. I’m down dude. Laura: What?! Matt, we don’t have time for th- Matthew: I know. We’re getting off track but this will only take a couple of minutes. Alright Archer. Let’s go. The 3 of us journeyed back up to the surface. We walked to her house and stood outside planning what to do. Archer: You’re obviously a powerful trainer Matthew. You go in there and take her on and show her what happens when you mess with the people of 7th Street. Matthew: And for disrespecting my girlfriend. Laura: Matt- Matthew: You stay out here with Archer. Archer: Yea. We’ll make sure no 1 interferes. Laura: -sigh- Alright but just hurry it up alright Matt? Matthew: It’ll be over before you know it. Laura: I hope so. I walked up to the door and prepared myself. Not for the battle but for whatever that bitch was about to say to me. Luckily for me though, it would take a lot to get me annoyed. I opened the door and walked in. She was standing right there. When her eyes met mine, she had gotten a horrid, angry look upon her face. Craudburry: So! The filth has followed me back here has it? Matthew: Seriously. You’re just as much as filth as me. You were down there too. Or is your old age finally affecting your memory? Craudburry: How DARE you say that to me! Why are you even here?! To desecrate my house again?! Or maybe to shit on my life once again?! Matthew: I ain’t gonna mess your house up but the 2nd option sounds about right. Craudburry: You litte… I could pay the dogs in 7th Street to kill you and your whole family if I wanted! Matthew: Bitch, you don’t even know where my family lives! Craudburry: Do not cross me wretched pigling! If you won’t leave then I will MAKE you leave! Matthew: Yea? How you gonna do that? Craudburry: After that little incident with your scummy friends, I decided to invest in a bit of self-defense. Matthew: Sooo you just bought illegally owned Pokemon and you think they’ll be able to crush me right? Craudburry: How did you- Matthew: Kind of obvious where that was going. Plus, I just made it quicker to get to the point. Craudburry: RAGH! I’LL MAKE YOU REGRET BEING BROUGHT INTO THIS WORLD! Craudburry: GRAARGH!!! I can’t believe these… These Pokemon are WORTHLESS! Why I oughta- Matthew: Shut the fuck up! Christ almighty! Craudburry: I should get the person that sold me those Pokemon arrested! Matthew: Wow. You’re stupid. Craudburry: Excuse me!? Matthew: You’d be admitting to buying stolen Pokemon which is a crime which means YOU would be arrested. Craudburry: You… You… Matthew: Now listen. I’ll let you off the hook easy if you do a couple of things. Firstly, and I can’t say this enough, stop with your stupid bitching. It’s annoying and no 1 pays attention to your crazy ass self. Secondly, never go back to 7th Street again or I’ll have some of my boys take care of you. So, we clear here? Craudburry: Grrrrr… Matthew: Good. You understand. Ohh yea. Before I leave, I wanna here you apologize for disrespecting my girlfriend. Craudburry:… I’m sorry… Matthew: Good. I’m done here. Enjoy the rest of your day, you old hag. I exited the house. I felt so much better after all of that. I walked towards the side of the house where Laura and Archer were. Archer: Ahh Matthew. You’re back. How did it go? Matthew: Easy. She won’t be yelling anymore and I doubt you’ll be seeing her in 7th Street ever again. Archer: Excellent! We’ll finally have peace down there. Matthew: And she said sorry for calling you names hun. Laura: Thanks Matt. But come on. We gotta go back. Matthew: Yea. You’re right. You wanna come back with us Archer? Archer: Sure. Let’s go. The 3 of us ventured our way back down to 7th Street. When we got there, Archer went on his way. We were about to go searching for any clues as to where Luna might be when I heard a voice I never heard before. ???: Laura? Is that you? Laura: Arclight? Is that you? Arclight: What’s up? Been a while since I last saw you. Laura: Yea. A lot’s been going on. Arclight: Who’s this? Laura: This is Matt. He’s my boyfriend now. Arclight: Really? Well congrats man. You got yourself a good girl right here. Matthew: I know. I’m so lucky. So who are you exactly? Arclight: The names Arclight and I’m the DJ of the Reborn Nightclub. Only Ace Trainers can get in there. Matthew: Why only those? Arclight: Ohh. I don’t actually mean the ace trainers. I just mean the Elite 4 and the people who have defeated the Elite 4. Matthew: Wow… That’s kind of awesome. Maybe I’ll see you in there 1 day. Arclight: Yea. It’d be cool. But right now, I’m down here for a different reason. Laura: What’s going on? Arclight: There’s a vendor down here that’s selling stolen Pokemon and I’m here to take care of him. But I can’t just walk in there and do my thing. He’ll run with the Pokemon as soon as that happens. Laura: Well what are you gonna do? Arclight: I’m not sure but I… Wait a minute. Matt right? Would you buy the Pokemon from him and just keep them safe? I’d feel better if they were with someone good and I think that someone is you. Matthew: Umm… I guess- Laura: Yea. We’ll help. No problem at all. Arclight: Sweet. When you buy them all, give me a sign and I’ll take care of him. Matthew: Alright. -turns around to walk to the vendor- Now who’s wasting time? Laura: I just wanna help. Matthew: Haha. It’s cool. I know you do. We walked up to the area and walked up to the vendor. You could tell he was a shady kind of person. I looked at the Pokemon in the cages. They seemed familiar. Then it hit me. These were the same Pokemon that were in the cages back in the Blacksteam Factory. I felt good that I was saving these Pokemon. Vendor: Hey there. What can I do you for? Matthew: Yea. Uhhh, I’d like to buy all of the Pokemon here please? Vendor: What?! You serious? Matthew: Hell yea. Vendor: Let me see some shards then. I went into my bag and pulled out all the shards I had. The Vendors eyes lit up with excitement. He then put all the Pokemon into PokeBalls and gave them to me. He seemed pretty pleased. We waved good bye to each other and left the area. Laura gave Arclight the thumbs up to signal him that all the Pokemon were caught. I have no idea what happened after that but I did hear some of the cages rattle a bit. As we were about to walk into a little cave of sorts, Archer ran up to me and stopped us from going in. Matthew: Archer, what are you doing? Archer: I’m so glad I caught you in time. Listen, I got word that Maxwell is in there and is itchin’ to battle you. Laura: Maxwell? You mean… The person that- Matthew: Yea… He did it. Archer: I just wanted to let you know before you just waltzed in there. Good luck in whatever you do. -walks away- Laura: Go deal with him. Matthew: Wait. Really? Laura: Yea. Something tells me he’d go looking for you after a while and we don’t need that right now. Better to get this over with now than later. Matthew: Yea. You’re right. Thanks babe. You stay here alright? Laura: Alright. You and your Pokemon be careful baby. I walked into the cave like place and saw Maxwell. He also saw me. The look on his face told the whole story. He had deep hatred for me. But you could tell he was satisfied for what he did to my Arbok. I confronted him. Matthew: Alright. Heard you’re looking for me. What’s up? Maxwell: Heh. I used to be the king of the jungle called Reborn City. But then you showed up and dethroned me. Matthew: Dude, I’m sure you’ll be- Maxwell: No! Let me speak. The Magma Gang… is no more and that’s all your fault! Now, I’m here in this dump. And guess who’s fault that is? Matthew: Min- Maxwell: YOURS! I always speak of glory but this? There’s no glory in this. But I’ve been waiting for you. It’s time to reclaim my fame! It’s time Matthew! For glory baby! After the battle was over, I looked up at Maxwell. I could tell he couldn’t believe that he lost to me a 2nd time. He slowly raised his head and looked up towards me. He had such hatred for me. But it didn’t bother me. Maxwell: No… REDO! Matthew: Yea no. I just beat you dude. Move on. Maxwell: I can’t believe I still couldn’t… Shit man. What does it take to beat you?! I’ve lingered here in a desperate hope that if I beat you that I could rebuild the Magma Gang. But it seems as if that won’t be happening now. Matthew: I’m sure you have better things to do than this. Reclaim your “glory” in another way. Maxwell: I hate to say this but… maybe you’re right. Maybe I could take up a factory job and have a real life or something along those lines. I’ll die here- Matthew: Uhhh- Maxwell: And be reborn a better man. Matthew: Ohh. Ok. You meant metaphorical. Maxwell: Yes. I still have deep hatred for you but… I suppose I should thank you. In the end, the glory was a prison. So thank you for that. Maxwell then left. I stood there trying to figure out what the hell just happened and what he was trying to say. But I didn’t stay there for long. I went back out to Laura who came out and hugged me. She explained to me that a red headed boy came out of the cave but seemed more happy. I told her what happened. Like me, she seemed kind of confused by the whole thing as well but was just happy that nothing happened to me or my Pokemon. We then restarted our quest to get info on where Luna could be.

Laura and I ran towards the Grand Gate and made it inside. We stood there for a few moments looking at the Grand Gate actually being opened. I looked over to Laura who had a shocked expression on her face. I could only imagine how she was feeling at this point. I’ve only been here for a couple of months but she’s been here for a long time and to see something working again when it hadn’t for a long time must have been making her feel emotional. Despite what she was seeing now though, we had to continue our way to our destination. The problem was we didn’t know where that destination was. Matthew: I know this is astounding to you but we have to keep moving. Laura: Yea… Yea. You’re right. But where do we go? Matthew: Hmm… Let’s go to the PokeCenter in Lapis Ward. We’ll be able to collect our thoughts there and come up with a plan. Laura: Alright. We walked through the opened Grand Gates and proceeded our way to the Lapis Ward PokeCenter. It felt weird being back here after being away for so long. We had originally escaped here from getting away from the police. I was curious if they even cared now of what had occurred at the Orphanage but I wasn’t going to walk up to 1 and find out. We finally made it to the PokeCenter. We went in and Laura sat down on a chair while I kept standing. Laura: -breaths a slight sigh of relief- Alright. We’re here now. Away from all of those… Meteor guys… Matthew: Yea. That was wild. Laura: I really hope Cain is alright. Matthew: Me too… But he’s surprised me before. And no. Not in that way. Laura: Haha. I wasn’t even thinking in that way. Cain seems to have really rubbed off on you Matthew. She was kind of right. Back in the beginning of this wild journey, I despised his constant sexual jokes. But since the whole thing with the Orphanage and Kiki and saving the children, I’ve grown to really respect him and even admire his personality. Although, I wasn’t sure if the sexual jokes were always just jokes. Matthew: Heh… Yea. But look. He’s fine. We need to figure out a way to find this 7th Street. Laura: Well, Radamus said to ask 1 of the gangs here. Matthew: Ohh yea… I forgot about that. Alright. Look. You rest here and I’m gonna go to 1 of the gangs and see if they’ll tell me anything about 7th Street. Laura: Alright. I am a bit tired anyways. I might take a short nap while you’re away. Matthew: That’s probably not a bad idea for you to do babe. Laura: Ohh yea. Just so you’re not aimlessly roaming around looking for gangs, there’s 2 around here. 1 is actually here in the Lapis Ward and the other is in the North Obsidia Ward. Matthew: Thanks. Alright. I’ll be back in a bit. Laura: Bye hun. We hugged, kissed and then I went on my way outside. With my luck though, it had started to rain while I was inside. This angered me a bit but then I remembered that I was trying to find Luna and needed to stay focused on the task. I decided to go to the gang in North Obsidia Ward 1st. I looked for alleyways as I assumed that’s where they would be staying and I was right. I found a couple of guys standing in the way. Matthew: Can I get through? I need to speak to your- Magma Gang Member #1: Heyo, dude. This is the Magma Gang. Matthew: I don’t care. I just wanna- Magma Gang Member #1: I think it’d be best if you just be tailin’ off. Matthew: Look, all I wanna do is- Magma Gang Member #2: Yo, are you deff or something?! He said to go! Buzz off! Matthew: Ugh! I had no choice but to leave. These 2 bozos wouldn’t let me speak. I was super annoyed with the outcome of this but then I remembered that there was 1 in the Lapis Ward as well. I ran over there and searched for an alleyway. When I did, the same basically happened as the other 1 except these 2 people were in blue clothing instead of the red clothing and they called themselves the Aqua Gang. I couldn’t help but get a feeling of Team Aqua and Team Magma from the Hoenn Region with these 2 gangs. But as soon as I was about to leave the alleyway, 1 of them spoke up. Aqua Gang Member #1: Hey wait a minute buddy! Matthew: What is it? Aqua Gang Member #2: You seem somewhat strong. Matthew: Well, using that word right now would be an understatement but continue. Aqua Gang Member #1: How would you like to join our gang? The moment was here. Despite not really wanting to join, I knew this probably would be the only way I’d get to find out where 7th Street is. Matthew: Uhh… Yea. Sure. Aqua Gang Member #1: Excellent! Aqua Gang Member #2: Now the only way to get access is to battle me and my Aqua mate here. Matthew: You sure you wanna do that? Aqua Gang Member #1: It’s the only way you can meet the boss. Matthew: Well, if you 2 insist. Godra Goodra! Pistol Pete! Come on out! The 2 of them popped out of their PokeBalls and landed in front of the 2 Aqua Gang Members. I waited for them to throw out their Pokemon but the expressions on their faces said enough. No battle was going to take place here. You could see the fear in their eyes but also something else but I wasn’t sure what. Aqua Gang Member #2: On 2nd thought, you can go right in and see the boss. Matthew: Thank you. I recalled my Pokemon and headed towards the end of the alleyway. When I made it there, a boy but in a bit more proper clothing stood there. He looked at me and seemed impressed. ???: Well, well, what’s this? So you’ve decided to join the Aqua Gang huh? Matthew: Uhh, yea. I did. May I ask you something though? Archer: Yes but 1st, introductions! I am the leader of the Aqua Gang, Archer. What is your name? Matthew: It’s Matthew. Archer: Welcome to the Aqua Gang Matthew! If you passed their test, or in your case, scared them out of their test, then you’ve already met Mannie and Razzy. Then there’s DeFacto and the other 1 is Pierce. He doesn’t talk much. Matthew: Ahh. You have quite the crew here. Archer: Thank you. And I believe with you here, we will be able to throw the Magma Gang out of here. Matthew: Yea. I guess I can see that. Archer: Hmm. You don’t seem to be thrilled about our goal. What is on your mind? Matthew: Look. The only reason I’m here is because I need to know where the 7th Street is. I’m not really here to join the gang. Archer: Hmm. I see. While it disappoints me that you do not want to be apart of our gang, I appreciate your honesty at the very least. Matthew: Yea. Sorry about that. Archer: Hmm… Tell you what. I’ll make a deal with you. You help us with those Magma scums and I’ll tell you about the whereabouts of the 7th Street. Matthew:… You promise? Archer: Yes. You have my word. Matthew:… Fine. What do you want me to do? Archer: We’ve got a gig. Meet us in an old shack at 4th and Hydrangea and we’ll discuss what’s going down there. Matthew: Alright. See you there then. I watched as DeFacto, Pierce and Archer walk out of their hideout. I soon followed suit and exited as well. I searched the signs and eventually found the shack that Archer told me he wanted me to meet him at. I walked in and was greeted. Archer: Ahh. Matthew. I’m glad you have arrived. Matthew: Yea. Hey. How come Mannie and Razzy stayed behind? DeFacto: We left them behind at the base. They’ve been assigned to be the guardianship of the base. Matthew: Ahh. Ok. So what’s going on? Archer: Here’s the situation. Magma Gang’s got their eye on a rare Pokemon owned by 1 of Lapis’ wealthiest residents. Knowing them, they’ll try to steal it and frame us for doing the job. So what we have to do is bust in and stop that from happening. Maybe even take the Pokemon from ourselves. Matthew: Alright. So who’s this wealthy resident? DeFacto: The target’s name is Ms. Elena Craudburry. Matthew: Craudberry? Why do I have a feeling she’s not the nicest woman I’ll meet? DeFacto: You’d be right. Although, I think the proper word to describe her would be spinster. Or hag. Or putrid witch who called the city police on me just because I looked at her for like a millisecond. Matthew: Uhhh- DeFacto: Wretched old lady if you do or don’t know her, although you got the better end of the stick. Pierce: Nobody cares DeFacto. Archer: Can we get back to the conversation at hand? Our reputation and safety are at stake here! Let’s go! We gotta put an end to Magma’s schemes! Meet us there when you’re ready Matthew. The 3 of them exited the shack. I stood there for a moment thinking to myself what I had gotten myself into. But this was the only way I could get the info about 7th Street. So I made my way over to this lady’s house. When I entered, I saw Pierce making sure the old lady couldn’t interfere. As I walked by, she continued to yell about me and how she would kill me. They were right. She was horrid. As soon as I walked into the next room, I was confronted by a Magma Gang Member. Magma Gang Member #1: Stop right there Aqua scum! My MANLINESS shall stop you! Matthew: -sigh- Really? I don’t got time for this. Deal with this dude Pistol Pete! Aura Sphere! Clawitzer popped out of its Pokemon and launched a powerful Aura Sphere attack at the Magma Gang Member. It made him fly across the room and against the wall. He fell to the ground unconscious. I made my way to the northern part of the room where there seemed to be a double battle. I saw another Magma Gang Member standing there. Before he could even speak, I ordered my Clawitzer to use it’s Water Pulse attack on him. The gang member was engulfed by the water circle and then it exploded, knocking the gang member to the ground unconscious. DeFacto and Archer seemed impressed with what I was able to do. Matthew: Archer. DeFacto. You guys get whatever is on the desk. I’ll make sure these 2 don’t get in the way. Archer: Alright. You heard him DeFacto. The 2 of them called back their Pokemon and went to take everything off the desk. The remaining Magma Gang Member and what I assumed to be the leader of that gang just stood there but did not command their Pokemon to attack. Archer: Alright. We got everything! Magma Gang Leader: Damnit! They got it… You picked up a new member? Archer: Of course I did Maxwell. And now the downfall of the Magma Gang begins now! DeFacto: The city police will most likely be here shortly. We should go. Archer: Right. Let’s retreat now then! DeFacto and Archer ran out of the building. The Magma Gang Member and Maxwell recalled their Pokemon. The gang member ran out while Maxwell stood where he was for a second. Maxwell: You… I’ll make sure you’ll be dealt with. After saying that, he left. I too evacuated the building and went back to the Aqua headquarters. I could see Archer was very pleased with me as I walked towards him. Archer: That went off without a hitch! Matthew, if it wasn’t for you, I don’t know how we would have made it out of there. Matthew: Well, you’re welcome. Now can you tell me where 7th Street is? Archer: Ahh. That. I have 1 more thing for you to do. Matthew: Dude, you promised me. Archer: Don’t worry. I will keep that promise. This is the last thing I need help with. Matthew: Fine. What is it? Archer: It’s time to finally eliminate the Magma Gang! Matthew: Whoa whoa. You mean kill them?! Archer: No no! I just mean to run them out of the city. Matthew: Ohh. Ok. So what’s the plan? Archer: We’re gonna storm their hideout and take them down and we need everyone available to do this. But what we’re gonna do is have you enter 1st and distract them. That’s when the rest of us will sneak in. Got it? Matthew: Yea. I’ll head there now. Archer: Good man. I exited the Aqua hideout and headed towards the Magma hideout. As I was walking, the regular rain storm turned to a thunderstorm. I didn’t know why but I felt like this was gonna be trouble for me. I entered and was greeted with the 2 Magma Gang Members last time but this time they were trying to insult me. I was growing annoyed with their bickering. Matthew: Alright! Enough! You 2 are annoying! We gonna battle or what?! Magma Gang Member #1: Sure. If you insi- Matthew: Actually, just send out all of your Pokemon and fight me 1 on 6. The 2 of them looked at me as if I was dumb for saying that. But they complied with my request and sent out all if their Pokemon. I sent out Clawitzer and obliterated all of their Pokemon with 1 Water Pulse. The members of the gang were shocked that they were defeated in literally seconds. I recalled Clawitzer but when I looked straight forward, I saw that the Aqua Gang Members were dealing with the other Magma Gang Members. Archer walked up to me. Archer: Nice job Matt. We’re in now! Archer went up ahead. I could see though that a Magma Gang Leader had stopped him and started to engage in a battle. Archer: Urgh! Matthew! You go deal with the leader! End this for the Aqua Gang! I looked over to Maxwell and he looked at me. I could tell he had hatred towards me for stopping his plan back at the old lady’s house from before. Maxwell: So… you’re their new ace. Is that it? Matthew: I suppose so. Maxwell: Heh. So be it then. Once I’ve turned the tables on you, then they’ve got nothing. And the Magma Gang will rule these streets! This has lasted long enough! For glory baby! Maxwell sent out his Ninetails as I sent out Clawitzer. It got taken out with 1 hit of a Water Pulse. The same happened when he sent out his Charmeleon. Before sent out his last Pokemon, he stared up at me. Maxwell: You think you’re so good just because you’re using that Clawitzer. Matthew: Well… I am part of a water themed gang here so- Maxwell: Use your ace. Use the Pokemon that you wouldn’t use til you had no other choice. Whoever wins will be the true gang of this region! Matthew: Uhh… If you say so. Maxwell sent out his Houndoom as I sent out my Arbok. While his Houndoom was able to get off a hit on me, in a matter of 2 Poison Fangs, his Houndoom was down and out. I had won the battle while also making the Aqua Gang the true gang of this city. Maxwell knelt down beside his Houndoom. Archer witnessed the whole thing. I turned towards him when he yelled out to me. Archer: Yes! The Aqua Gang is triumphant! Nice job Matthew! You have given our city back! Matthew: You’re welcome I guess. Now I don’t know what Maxwell was doing when I had my back turned towards him. Maybe his Houndoom wasn’t completely out or maybe he used a Revive. Everyone in that alleyway heard a disastrous scream. I turned around and saw his Houndoom up. Maxwell: NOOO! I WILL NOT LET THIS GO! HOUNDOOM! KILL THE NEWCOMER WITH FLAMETHROWER! Houndoom did as it was told and fired a Flamethrower at me. It was weird though. This Flamethrower attack seemed more powerful than any other 1 I’ve seen despite it being in the rain. I flinched as I prepared to feel the affects of the flames but instead, I heard a blood curdling scream. But it wasn’t a human. It was a Pokemon. I opened my eyes and looked in front of me as I witnessed Arbok being cooked alive by the flames. I couldn’t do anything but watch. Matthew: Wha… Jessie! Nooo! Arbok: CHAAAAARRRRRRRRBOK! The attack finally stopped. Maxwell recalled back his Pokemon. Luckily, the rain swiftly put out the flames but the damage had been done. I knelt down next to my Arbok and held it. I looked back up towards Maxwell who had a smirk across his face. Maxwell: Not what I intended but I still like the results. Magma Gang, we’ll fall back for now! And with that, the whole Magma Gang disappeared. Archer came over to me and looked at my Arbok. The flames had horribly disfigured it. Although, I couldn’t tell from the dark what exactly was done to it. Archer: Matt… I’m so sorry. I didn’t know that he- Matthew: Archer… just tell me about 7th Street… Archer: Yea. You got it. So 7th Street isn’t really a street. It’s more of a black market. You can get there by entering a building in the Lapis Ward. I’ll tell the person there that you have access to it. It’s the apartment on 3rd and Dahlia. Matthew: Thanks… Archer: Is… Is there anything I can do for you? Matthew: Just go dude. I need to be alone for a moment. Archer: Sure. Maybe we’ll see you again. Maybe in 7th Street. Matthew: Yea… Archer left. I stayed there with the rain pouring down on me looking at the Pokemon who risked its life for me. Arbok: Charrr… Matthew: I know it hurts Jessie. We’ll get you back to the PokeCenter. I took out its PokeBall and returned it back to its PokeBall. I slowly got up and made my way back towards the PokeCenter. When I got inside, I walked up to the desk. Laura saw me and ran up to me all happy. She hugged me and I hugged back. When she saw my face, she could see that something was wrong. Laura: Matt hunny. What’s wrong? Matthew: It’s my Arbok. She got… I took out the PokeBall with Arbok in it and sent her out. With it now in the light, I could see the damage that was done to it. Any part that had black on it were now a lighter gray and there were a lot of it’s skin now a browner/tan kind of color. I didn’t know how it wasn’t screaming out in pain right now but it was definitely still in pain. Laura looked at my Pokemon with sadness in her eyes. Laura: Matt… What happened to Jessie? Matthew: She protected me when 1 of the Gang Leaders tried to burn me with Flamethrower. I didn’t know what was going on until it was too late. Laura: Matt… -looks at Arbok and pets its head gently- You’re a good friend Jessie. Arbok: Ch-Charbok… Nurse Joy: Ohh my. Your Arbok seems to have sustained critical burn marks. Matthew: You can say that again. Nurse Joy: Well… We can at least heal your Arbok to where it won’t feel pain anymore but as for its scars- Matthew: As long as you can take its pain away, that’s all that matters. Nurse Joy: Very well. But we’ll have to keep it for a couple of hours. You won’t be able to take it with you. I looked up at Arbok. I could tell it would be in no shape to battle but I also didn’t want to leave it behind. Then, Arbok slithered its tongue onto my cheek. It was awkward but I knew it was just trying to get my attention. I looked up at it and it shook its head yes. In its own way, it was telling me it was ok to leave it for a bit. I smiled at Arbok and looked back at Nurse Joy. Matthew: Ok. I’ll leave it here with you then. Please make sure it feels better Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy: Don’t worry. It’ll be fine before you know it. Matthew: Ok. I guess it’s time to go then. Come on babe. Laura: Alright. Later Jessie! Arbok: Charboook. We exited the PokeCenter and walked towards the apartment building that was supposed to be 7th Street. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

I wanna know how they’re gonna react to that, Blake, Fern joining Team Meteor. There’s so many reacts I wanna see from them!

Ohh yea. I still get chills but there’s something about the 1st episode that just can’t be beaten by any of the other ones. I mean that could be just me but it’s how I feel. & I doubt they’d ever cancel it.

So I don’t mean to double post but what I’m about to say has to do with the series as a whole right now. I’m loving the reborn Penta-Op so much right now but does anyone else miss how 1001% awesome it felt on that night that the 1st episode of this dropped? Like I had chills going through my body when I saw it up.

Nappy is the last 1 to get through the puzzle?! Blasphemy!
