Dawn and I were walking to pastoria city we ran into Paul who was Bullying a trainer.
" You are worthless trash," said Paul, " I hope your prepared to-Oof," he grunted as I delivered a swift kick to his groin.
" What the hell was that for?" Asked the purple haired douche.
" I don't give a crap what you say about a person's Pokemon Team, But don't you ever say anything about a fellow Trainer," I said.
Paul just smirked " Oh yeah, and how's that defective Chimchar I Gave you?" He sneered.
" You mean Kusunagi, He's fine actually he beat the HELL out of a Machoke Recently, by the way he's an Infernape now," I said with a confident glare, " And you didn't Givehim to me, I 'Won' Him from you in a fair bet," I said with a smirk.
Dawn looked between Leroy and Paul she could see the flames of a burning aura and lightning crackling between the two of them.
" Heh wimpy, Now check this guy out," said Paul showing his new replacement to his team, A Magmortar, " Say Hello To Vulcanus," he said with a sneer.
" Hmm impressive," I said unfazed by the stage 2 psuedo legendary.
" Is that all you've got to say," Paul jeered.
" Listen, are you here to gloat or are you here for a battle?" I asked, " Because I couldn't care less about how big and strong your team has gotten," I said looking him in the eye and giving him the only kind of intimidating look an adult can have Towards children, the kind that let them know I had better shit to do than play their stupid games.
" I... I'm not scared of you," he said with evident false bravado in his voice.
" Then prove it," I said flaring my aura into my voice even though it was a normal tone it radiated with an air of dominance, " Beat me using only the three strongest Members of your team," I said.
-Meanwhile on Iron Island-
Riley and his Lucario were finishing up their training whenever they felt the presence of a power only believed to exist in legends the power of the conquerors aura.
" Lucario, I think we may be in for a good time," said Riley.
" I feel it to my friend," said lucario, " we must prepare properly in case this person may become our enemy," the aura powered Pokemon Replied.
-Back in root 213-
Paul and I stood before the Cave entrance in Root 213 Paul had made the agreement that we only use 3 Pokemon probably wanting to use his strongest to take me on.
my Team consisted of Kusunagi, Jet, and Rock[1]
While Paul Had His Magmortar, His Honchkrow, and His Drapion.
I smirked.
' I have the perfect plan for this battle,' I Thought to myself.
Dawn had volunteered to be the spotter for the battle.
" The Rematch battle between Paul Of Veilstone City and The wondering Vagrant Leroy Jackson Is about to begin," Said Dawn.
" Go Honchkrow," said Paul.
" Alright Rock Do your best," I said as the small Red Bipedal Hound Jumped into the arena.
Paul Laughed.
" You plan On defeating me with that pathetic team of yours," Paul laughed haughtily, " what's the puppy Going To do, is he going to roll over and play dead," said Paul said using baby talk.
Iori just held up his paw It was clear to everyone except dawn that if he had fingers that it would've been a clean bird shot.
Paul's eyes widened.
" Jackson, You better tame that mutt or I'll tame it for you," he said Clearly angry at Iori's impromptu Hand Gesture.
" Well it's what you get for being a jackass," I said Brushing it off.
" Grr, Punk," he ground his teeth.
" I Know You Are But What Am I," said Leroy with a smirk.
" Give it To Him Honchkrow, Razor Wind, attack" he shouted
" Rock use endure Followed by Counter,"(some games call it Revenge)
Honchkrow swiped his wings as a Tornado of sharp wind blades came at Rock, as the little hound Glowed Red his body seemed to build up a shield of defense.
The attack came at him and he was pushed back but didn't take to much damage and right at the moment The wind died down he Countered with a powerful Punch to the Birds body, Honchkrow tried to counter with a slap but was surprised that his wing was parried by Iori Turning his Arm in a rotating motion And Upon Impact The Punch Generated a huge Jet of Compressed Air pressure.
" Corkscrew Blow!" He shouted.
The attack was enough to launch Honchkrow into the side of the cave.
Honchkrow tried to recover but Iori wouldn't let up and landed a rush of punches to Honchkrow's centerline before ending with a back fist strike between Honchkrow's eyes.
" Dragon Fire Combo!" Rock shouted The name of the move made popular by Bruce Lee and his clones.
The Blows overwhelmed Honchkrow however Honchkrow's ability Super Luck Came into play and it dodged the attack and landed a scratch to Iori's eyes.
" Riolu!" The hound stretched.
" Rock, don't think, Feelhis aurathen use Reversal," Informed him.
Iori did so and he suddenly relaxed as a dark Aura Coated his body.
" Now Honchkrow, Take him down with your Flying attack," he said.
Honchkrow flew into the air and soared into the sky for a brief moment he appeared to vanish before coming from behind and diving at Iori.
" Now Rock!" I shouted.
Suddenly an orange glow surrounded Iori From the ground up as he turned around and delivered a Turn punch to Honchkrow's Beak causing all the power of Honchkrow's previous attacks to Hit Him in the face with the force of a Cannon and knocked Honchkrow out.
" Damned Straight!" Declaired Rock.
" Honchkrow is Unable to Battle, Riolu wins," said Dawn.
" Heh, just you wait," said Paul, " I choose you, Drapion," he said sending out The Ogre scorpion Pokemon.
' System...' Leroy thought.

__________________________________________________________
After checking his status I knew just who to send out to battle his Drapion, and I knew just what to do, It appeared that Drapion was mostly a long ranged fighter with some Close-ranged capabilities.
The big problem was the Damned Bugs Scope Lens which would cause It to Land critical hits, However My Next Pokémon had The one item to counter it.
" You're Up Jet," I said.
Jet the Urshifu Single strike type that was equiped with the Focus Band and with the Unseen Fist ability That breaks any defense This Drapion can say Buénas Noches,
" I have come to Bubble gum and To kick Ass...And I'm all out of Bubblegum," said urshifu telepathically.
" Hey Paul!" I said.
" What!" He bit back.
" Have you Ever heard of an armor breaker?" Leroy asked.
" No why?" Paul Replied Dryly.
" Because you're about to see it," Leroy said.
" Jet, Use Endure Followed by Brick break," Leroy Ordered
"Hah That won't work on Drapion, Because He's got The Ability Battle Armor," Said Paul internally.
" Is Leroy Crazy, Paul's Drapion Has Battle Armor, That Attack Won't Do Much Damage," Dawn also said internally.
Ursifu's body Glowed Red and His Body Glowed With A Dark Aura as he built up power into his right hand before launching at Paul.
" Go Drapion, Thunder Fang!" Shouted Paul.
Drapion's stinger surged with sparks before Drapion went to stab Jet...However Jet easily tanked it and countered with a powerful Downward Chop which caused the Ground underneath the ogre scorpion to crack and to everyone's surprise drapion's Battle Armor ability was completely shattered.
" IT WORKED?!!! " Dawn/Paul screamed internally.
Drapion lay on the ground twitching like a freshly stamped spider.
"Now your acting like a bug," said the Large Wushu/Bear in a dark monotonous voice.
' I could be wrong... but I believe Jet just made A Solo Leveling reference,' Leroy thought to himself.
" The battle Is Leroy's," said Dawn.
After the battle was over.
Leroy and Dawn decided to let Paul go and then the two went they're way to pastoria city.
Traveling the route they both began training their Pokemon.
Leroy decided to try and catch himself a water type pokemon for the next gym, since he wasn't really equipped with any, and Didn't scan Dawns, Newly evolved empoleon out of respect for how she helped me become stronger.
I fished for a pokemon and by pure luck I managed to snag me a big one.
A large blue sea dragon type Pokemon appeared on the end of my line.
" A Red Gyarados!" Dawn shouted out In Shock
I smirked at the luck I had been given.
" Oi there big fella, How'd you like to get stronger than those puny fishies that Have been bothering you?" I asked him.
" You can speak my language, very well then puny human, if any of your little tamed partners can manage to hurt me, I'll join you,"
The Gyarados said.
' cool I was just talking like normal,' I Thought.
" Very well," I replied while tapping a button on My second pokeball," Etsuko,"he said under his breath and suddenly out of nowhere Etsuko came out and proceeded to put Gyarados through a jo-jo style barrage of rapid strike hits.
{Muda-Muda-Muda-Muda-Muda-Muda-Muda-Muda-Tobe-Muda!} She shouted and ended with a powerful mega punch.
"Okay...you've made your point...I'll join you, " The Dragon Pokemon said weakly.
" There's a reason why I was the four-time Regional Champion in My Highschool MMA Club," I Replied with adjusting his hat.
I then used a great ball his system produced for me, I decided to send Hayabusa to my storage for now.
Dawn and Leroy then booked a room at a hotel for the time being.
For now my team consisted of the following members.
Jet- Urshifu (Single Strike Type.)
Etsuko- Urshifu (Rapid Strike Type.)
Nikaido - Electibuzz.
Austin -Nidoking.
Rock- Riolu ( Shiny Red,)
Kusunagi- Infernape.
Kasumi- Umbreon.
Ripley- Gyarados ( Shiny Red)
Why did I name My Gyarados Ripley well believe it or not it I used to work at an aquarium.
" Alright Nice," I sand
He then entered the gym.
" I probably don't need A water type to defeat Crasher Wake, But It doesn't hurt to be on the safe side," I said.
I decided to Give My Nidoking the Thunder Punch TM Just in Case.
It was then that I ran into an unexpected Pokemon that I hadn't expected to encounter in this region, it was a small blue Pokemon with a fin on its head orange scales on its cheeks and it's lower body was like a little pups.
" A Mudkip," I said in surprise.
I decided to store Kasumi and walked up to mudkip it seemed to have its paw caught in a breyer.
I smiled
I decided to use my Aura around my palm and used a knife hand strike to free the little mud skipper.
" There you go, Little guy," I said.
Mudkip looked up at me and asked me.
{ Help my friend,} he said I followed him expecting a marshstomp or Swampert but no it was an absol and it was suffering from poison.
I pulled a pecha berrie mashed it up in a bowl sprayed a little antidote into it mixed it into a paste and fed it.
Absols condition calmed down.
An hour later absol and mudkip were following me into town, I used a pokeball to make them officially my teammate now that I had eight official Pokemon I decided to prepare for my battle with crasher wake.
After arriving in the gym I can upon crasher wake, I decided to switch the positions of Kusunagi and Nikaido. Knowing that this was a water gym.
Mudkip wasn't suited for the gym battle yet, not at his current level and Absol was still recovering from The Poison, Fortunately Y/N Had met the requirements and caught a water Pokemon, it was until he realized, Etsuko was a water type, while he wouldve cursed himself for His Forgetfulness he still had got himself an Absol and a Mudkip.
Then I arrived at the Gym well it was a Gym but inside it was more of an Indoor Infinity pool.
It was here that I would Begin the true length of my journey.
To be continued.
