Aaron has
gathered everyone. And I mean by that… EVERYONE! Not only his friends, but
Alicia and Ben as well, and Shirr's and Brazle's family as well…
"What
does he want from us…? We don't even know him…" Brazle's younger brother
said.
"Shh…
Abas, don't be rude." His mother scolded him.
"Meet
my girlfriend, Ami. We finally made up. Ryu, Amose, it was thanks to you
guys."
"Wow
Aaron, your girlfriend is pretty hot." Nog said.
Ami was
blushing.
"WHAT
DA FUCK Nog?!!!! So you are not gay? So all this time you liked girls as
well?!!!!!" Uzib yelled.
"Uzib,
didn't I tell you? I'm similar to you. I like mostly men but some girls can
attract me."
"What?!!!!
After all the shit you gave me for liking Miakko?!!!! You hypocrite!!!!"
"That's
because I just don't like you."
Uzib went
outside to cry alone like a baby.
"So
why did you gather us? It wasn't just to show off your girlfriend, right?"
Shirr assumed.
"It
wasn't just that." Ami said. "It is because I'm here as a challenger
for the Single League. I just wanted to meet some of my rivals. Miakko, I
wanted to meet you. I hope I'll have the chance to battle you."
"I
won't lose." Miakko said.
"That's
what I wanted to hear. Also, Ryu, Waiareas, good luck at your next match.
You'll need it."
"Oded
has gotten blind." Hassel reported to Leon.
"…
Seriously? What happened?"
"He
drunk the Blind Eyes Coffee that Ace was talking about. Its side effect make
people go blind. What you'll do about it?! We need another commentator to
replace him for tomorrow's matches!"
"Don't
worry about it. Since I've seen how many GYM Leaders lost their lives I knew
there was some curse. I came prepared. There are ten commentators who can
replace each other if something bad happens."
"ONLY
TEN?!!!!!!"
"…
Shit! You are right. I don't think it is enough!"
The next
day was Waiareas' and Ryu's next match. Kobi was sitting at the commentators'
seats and to him joined Tal Morally, the commentator that Leon chose to replace
Oded who lost his eyesight. Kobi called "Here they are, Furukawa Waiareas
and his wife Furukawa Ryu. Welcome them!"
"Indeed.
They have shown us a great match a few days ago." Tal had no idea what he
was talking about. He didn't bother to watch the matches he didn't commentate
on "Now welcome the opposing team! Those two are lesbian wives! Phanta and
Keenlee… What the fuck is this surname…"
'Just say
the surname' Kobi whispered
'This
surname is ridiculous…'
'Just say
it…'
"Phanta
and Keenlee Mister Taxi Driver!"
One fat
mature dark skinned woman came in along with her young white skinned wife.
"Wait… I know them!" Miakko was erupted.
"…
Those are Mister Taxi Driver's wife and lover… What's going on…" Aaron was
in shock.
Nearly two
years ago…
It was
Mister Taxi Driver's funeral after his corpse was discovered by Aaron and
Miakko. "My husband! Why did you leave me alone?!" Phanta cried.
"My
lover! My life! What I'll do without you?!" Keenlee cried as well "I
love you!"
"Wait…
WHAT?!!!!"
"So
all this time my lover had a wife?!!!!" Keenlee yelled "I hate him!
He deserved to die!"
"So
our partner was an asshole cheater! Fuck him! He was no hero!" Phanta
cursed her dead husband. "But I gotta say… he had a great taste in
women…"
"I
have to say the same. You are kinda hot for your age."
That night
they fucked.
"Listen
Phanta! Let's marry!"
"What
about your child?!"
"I'll
leave him at an orphanage! You don't know what I feel for you…"
"Then
we have to choose a surname for us..."
"How
about 'Mister Taxi Driver'? He was ass, but thanks to him I met you!"
"Alright
Keenlee. This will be our new surname!"
"Let's
go Phanta! Let's beat those two! We'll show them our love!"
"Why
everyone in is tournament is fucked up in the head?!" Kobi screamed.
"Anyway… match… start…"
"Go!
Tyranitar!" Phanta summoned the giant dinosaur.
"It
is your time! Excadriil!" her wife summoned the drill thing. I wonder if
she chose this thing because it reminded her something from her bedroom…
Ryu
summoned her Sneasler. And Waiareas went with Pidgeot. Tyranitar's ability,
Sand Stream was activated. This ability creates a sandstorm. It has many
effects. For example, it increases Rock Types' Special Defense, and damages
every Pokémon that isn't Rock, Steel, or Ground types, or has an ability that
benefits from the Sandstorm effect. Excadrill's ability makes it become faster
during this field effect.
"Shit!!!!!!!!
My eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hassel screamed when the sand damaged his eyes.
"Activate the damn Pokémon Field Energy Protection Force!!!!"
Waiareas
and Ryu already knew what they have to do against this Sandstorm strategy. They
knew that Excadrill is going to attack at full force and speed.
Keenlee
decided to attack. She assumed that Ryu and Waiareas are going to switch.
Therefore she ordered her Excadrill to use Rock Slide which hits both of the
opposing Pokémon. Despite that, Phanta also knew it won't be enough to defeat
the Sneasler, and her Tyranitar was at a huge risk to be defeated with only one
Fighting type move. She switched to Alakazam. Ryu switched to Arcanine, and
Waiareas switched to Kabutops. Due to Arcanine's ability, Intimidate, both of
Arcanine and Kabutops took less damage from Rock Slide. But another thing
happened, which was the Furukawas' plan. Kabutops' ability, Weak Armor was
activated by getting hit. When it happens, it lowers its defense, but increases
its speed. The phase was over, and only Arcanine took damage. Alakazam, despite
being Psychic Type, did not. Its ability, Magic Coat protected it. It protects
the user from everything but direct damage. It makes it unaffected by
poisoning, field effect, entry hazard, etc. Alakazam was their perfect member
from their Sandstorm team.
"Great
move." Keenlee said "But did you really think you have won? It is
true that your Kabutops might be faster, but you've made a crucial mistake. It
was summoning Arcanine."
"Arcanine's
Intimidate is great ability, isn't it?" Phanta said. "But our team is
build right for cases like those."
"What
the hell are they talking about?" Matoi said. "Waiareas' move
switching to Kabutops was perfect."
"…
No… it wasn't." Shirr realized "It looks great on paper. But it
isn't! Those Mister Taxi Driver women know what they are doing!"
"Mega
Evolution!!!!!" Phanta called. "Mega Alakazam!!!!"
"What
the…" Waiareas was surprised.
"Mega
Alakazam's special ability! Trace! Go, copy Intimidate!" she called.
Waiareas
ordered his Kabutops to use Liquidation on Keenlee's Excadrill which missed the
kill due to the copied Intimidate. With Mega Alakazam's Energy Ball, and
Excadrill's Drill Run, Ryu and Waiareas lost two of their Pokémon. However, due
to Alakazam losing Magic Coat upon Mega Evolving it was damaged a bit.
Ryu
summoned her Vaporeon and Waiareas summoned his Empoleon. Waiareas ordered his
Empoleon to attack with Aqua Jet. It was enough to defeat the Excadrill. Ryu
ordered her Vaporeon to use Protect and she was protected from Alakazam's Energy
Ball. Due to the Sandstorm, both Alakazam and Vaporeon were damaged. Emepoleon
was unaffected due to its Steel Type.
Keenlee
summoned her Steelix. She right away Mega Evolved it. She knew its defenses
will be enough to handle along with Mega Alakazam to defeat that Empoleon.
Well… she didn't think about one single hidden card the Furukawa had in their
sleeves. Phanta ordered her Alakazam to use Energy Ball on Vaporeon. It wasn't
enough to defeat it, but that's okay, that's why they have Steelix.
… Steelix
isn't going to attack even once, I'll tell you that.
"Vaporeon!
Use Growl!" Ryu ordered.
Everyone
at the crowd laughed at her terrible move and mocked her. But Ryu knew what
she's doing. "Loser!!!!!! Take it seriously!!!!" someone shouted.
"Miakko…
I don't mean to be rude… but you've said your mother is strong…" Uzib said
"It looks like a terrible move… Not to mention it Alakazam is a Special
Attacker… She can just defeat Steelix right away with some move."
"Their
goal isn't lowering the attack, it is increasing it. It is a brilliant
move." Brazle said.
"I
don't get it…" Matoi said.
"Empoleon's
Ability has activated!" Waiareas called "Competitive! When one its
stats is lowered its Special Attack is increased! Now go! Use Surf!"
… Mega
Alakazam and Mega Steelix were defeated in a single hit. And Vaporeon was
healed due to its ability, Water Absorb. When it is being hit a Water Type
move, it is healed. Since Surf also attacks its allies, Vaporeon was healed
instead.
Phanta
Summoned her Cacturne, and Keenlee summoned her electric lizard Heliolisk. Both
of them had the Sand Veil ability which increases the user evasion during
Sandstorm. Waiareas and Ryu counted every single phase of the Sandstorm. They
knew it is the last phase. Therefore, both of them used Protect to stall for
time. And so, the sandstorm was over.
Ryu knew
that Tyranitar is coming back and that Phanta is going to switch. How else she
is going to activate her whole strategy? She switched her Vaporeon back to
Sneasler, and as she expected, Phanta switched her Cacturne back to Tyranitar.
Heliolisk used Thunderbolt on Empoleon and defeated it with a critical hit.
With the effect of Sandstorm, Sneasler took a bit of damage, and after Emepoleon's
defeat, Waiareas summoned his Pidgeot back to the field.
Despite
defeating Empoleon, the Taxi Driver wives had to deal with Sneasler which can
defeat Tyranitar in one hit. They were in a bad spot, despite the other Pokémon
they had to deal with; Pidgeot couldn't do much to both Tyranitar and
Heliolisk. In fact, Tyranitar was one of those Pokémon that Pidgeot didn't have
even a single tool against it. They decided to order Tyranitar to use Protect,
and to deal with Sneasler with their Heliolisk. They anticipated that Sneasler
will attack Tyranitar. The Furukawas didn't have much choice but to attack it.
If they won't then the match is over.
Waiareas
activated his Mega Stone "Mega Evolution! Mega Pidgeot!"
"What?!"
the Taxi couple were surprised. They didn't expect that. As by Mega Evolving,
Pidgeot became the fastest Pokemon on the field. "It doesn't matter! What
a Flying Type can do to Electric type?! Not to mention that our Heliolisk will
evade better in the Sandstorm!"
"Mega
Pidgeot's ability ignores that! It increases its accuracy!" Ryu called.
"What?!
Damn!" Phanta was sure she is about to lose.
"This
is not how it works by the way…" Miakko said to her friends. "Mama is
just trying to scare them…"
"It
isn't?" Shirr asked.
"It
is true that the ability No Guard makes the accuracy of Pidgeot's move goes to
one hundred percent, but it has nothing do Heliolisk's evasion. It is not the
same thing. Papa is still betting here and there is a chance that Pidgeot might
miss.
But it didn't
miss! Hahahaha. The Heat Wave defeated Heliolisk. At this point the match was
over. All Sneasler and Mega Pidgeot had to do is to use a super effective move
on Tyranitiar and Cacturne. The Taxi wives had nothing they could do about it. And
so, Ryu and Waiareas have won, and they were waiting for their next match; the
quarter-finals!
