Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Pocket Monster Academy ❯ Chapter Two- Friends or Rivals? Ken Mori Makes An Appearance! ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer- I don't own Pokemon/Pocket Monsters. Only the Original Characters.

 

If you are wondering what the `Gift' the characters are talking about, it is special ability to talk to any Pocket Monster. Others with the Gift are able to sense when it is being used, however, they cannot understand what they are saying. I know in the last chapter, Pikachu tells Axle that Mariko and her Pocket Monsters can hear them. Scratch that. Like I said, others with the Gift can sense when it is being used, but cannot hear the conversation.

Chapter Two- Friends or Rivals? Ken Mori Makes An Appearance!

Axle and Mariko stood next to each other in Lee-Hakase's class. It had been at least a week since the project was due and they had become fast friends. Even their Pocket Monsters were bonding fast, probably because of their…'gift'.

As Lee-Hakase started to go into strategies, the bell for lunch rang. “Alright guys, see you Monday.”

The students headed off into different directions. Axle and Mariko headed for the tree where Axle saw Mariko more than a week ago. (Right now it has to be Friday of the third week…it was Wednesday when they were introduced. School isn't in session on the weekends, just like American schools.)

“Hey, Axle?”

“Yeah?”

“I have a feeling that we're being watched…”

“Really? I don't feel anything…” Axle said as Mariko sweat dropped. A shadow appeared behind both of them, but neither of them noticed.

“AXLE! AXEMELEE NOVA!” a voice shouted right into Axle's ear.

Even though the shout was in Axle's ear, both of them jumped up and scrambled away. The voice stepped out of the shadows and started to laugh. “Hahahahaha! You fall for that every time!”

“Ken Mori! Why you! Knock that off!” Axle was fuming at the ears, literality.

“Oh, come on. It that anyway to treat your friend? Is this your girlfriend?” Ken chuckled, and stepped back as Axle stepped forward, fire in his eyes, while Mariko blushed at the word `girlfriend'. Ken wore a dark blue shirt with ice blue sleeves and blue jeans. He had ice blue hair and eyes and wore black boots. He too wore gloves, but his wasn't fingerless and it was an ice blue color.

“What kind of friend sneaks up on other friends and scares him half to death?! And Mariko's not my girlfriend; she's just a friend who happens to be a girl!” Axle said, now chasing Ken around as Mariko sat back down.

“C'mon! It was a joke! A joke! Can't you take one? Don't you have a sense of humor? Oh, wait, you don't! Hahahaha!”

“Argh! Pikachu, Denki SHOKKU!” Axle said, pointing at Ken, both still running. Pikachu merely glanced at him and went back to talking with Kimori and Gonyonyo, Ken's Pocket Monsters.

“Ha! Not even your Monsters listen to you, even if you have the Gift! I mean…uh…your ability to talk to Monsters as if you could talk to them…” Ken said, remembering Mariko was nearby.

Axle gave up the chase and sat down, sighing. “Don't bother hiding it, Ken. She has the Gift too.”

“She does?!” Ken asked, sitting right next to Axle. “Well then, nice to meet you! I'm Hoshi Ken, Axle's friend and rival. Call me Ken.”

“Um…I'm Hoshi Mariko, but you can call me Mariko. Um…how can you be Axle's friend and rival?”

“Well, we've been friends since we were kids because we lived next to each other since we were little. We've always been friends, but sometimes we fought over minor things. Like who was faster in running-”

“I won that.” Axle stated.

“Who was cuter-”

“Won that too.”

“And who got the last cookie.”

“Oh, I DEFINITELY won that one.”

“We get the point! Anyways, one of our earlier arguments, who was the better trainer, was never answered because we didn't have Monsters way back then.”

“How old were you?”

“Four and a half.” Mariko sweat dropped.

“Well, now we can answer it. Axle, I challenge you to a Pocket Monster Battle!”

“Heh! You're on!”

A few minutes later, Axle and Ken were standing on either side of the Battle Arena, while Mariko stood in the middle. The Monsters were at their Trainer's side. Mariko's arm was straight up into the air.

“The match between Ken and Axle is about to begin! Each may use two Monsters and substitute their Monsters! The first to knock out both of their opponent's Monsters win! Ready…begin!” Mariko brought her hand down.

“Kimori, go!”

“Go, Hitokage!”

Both Monsters jumped into the ring.

“Hitokage, Hi no Ko!” (All of their Monsters are Level Ten. I'm getting the attacks from my guide book, `Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team. Yes, I have the game. No, it's not Blue Rescue Team. I don't have a DS. At least, not yet…*looks around* well, back to story!)

“Kimori, quick, dodge!”

The Kimori dodge, but it was not quick enough. The Hi no Ko grazed the end of its tail and winced.

Hitokage, use Hi no Ko again!” the Hitokage heard, and shot the fire attack as the Kimori was trying to col down it's tail. The attack hit dead on, and the Kimori was knocked out.

“Um…Kimori is knocked out! Hitokage wins!”

“Alright, Hitokage! We won!”

“It's not over yet, Axle! Go, Gonyonyo!” Ken threw a Monster Ball and a Gonyonyo appeared.

“A Gonyonyo?! Ha! Hitokage, use Hi no Ko again!” another fireball was thrown, this one aimed at the Gonyonyo.

“Sorry, Axle, but not this time! Gonyonyo, dodge and use Hataku!”

The Gonyonyo dodged the fireball and launched itself at Hitokage. It then started to pound on its head with its hands.

Eventually, the Gonyonyo's Hataku attack got to the Hitokage and it fell unconscious.

“Hitokage is unable to battle! Gonyonyo wins!”

“No! Hitokage, return!” Axle recalled the Hitokage into its Monster Ball, and turned to Pikachu, who was still standing next to Axle's side. “Okay Pikachu, go get `um!”

“Pikachu!” the Pikachu jumped into the arena.

“Gonyonyo, use Hataku again!”

The Gonyonyo charged towards the Pikachu, but it dodged out of the way. “Pikachu, use Denki SHOKKU!”

The Denki SHOKKU hit its mark and the Gonyonyo fell to the ground in defeat.

“Shoot! Gonyonyo, return!” it returned to its Monster Ball and Ken sighed in defeat. “Guess you're the best Pocket Monster trainer, Axle.”

“Yup.”

“Next time, of course, I'm gonna win!”

“As if!”

“As soon as I graduate from Pocket Monster Academy, I'm gonna beat ya!” the red head gave a confused look

“You're in the Academy too?! But-but I've never seen you in any classes!”

“Well, I've been on vacation before school started, and I didn't return until yesterday.”

“Man, I wanted to brag about getting into Pocket Monster Academy while you didn't! Just great…”

The bell rang and Axle sulked off with Mariko and Ken behind him.
