In the grassy plains of the Alamos Town. There stood a Gabite in the middle of the plains. It looked ready to battle.
The cool winds and the pieces of grasses were blowing in the background. A group of Pokemons mainly a Riolu, Absol, Froslass, Mimikyu, and Treecko were watching the Gabite with baited breaths.
They were excited as it was there actual training instead of running or killing with Sky.
There was just a single problem, the opponent facing Gabite was Sky and he also looked battle ready.
"Now, listen Gabite, come at me with all you have got and don't hold back for I won't ( just joking)"
Sky said to the Gabite.
Gabite also knew about Sky so he heeded his orders.
"Rio rio riolu." {Let the battle begin.}
"You are having too much fun, aren't you, you are next then." ( Sky )
"(。ŏ﹏ŏ)(╥﹏╥) Rio lu."
The battle begins.
Gabite immediately used his speed to reach towards Sky in a Zig-zag manner. Her claws and wings(?) were shining in a white light.
In just a second, Gabite was in front of Sky with her claws just above him.
It was a still slow in front of Sky, he immediately turned and attacked with a roundhouse kick and got caught in the flamethrower.
He immediately backed away from the area and Gabite also stopped her attacks. The brick break was a feint, the point-blank flamethrower was the real one.
Sky thought that they fight like Riolu or all the grunts that he had faced but he was wrong. Both the Treecko and the Gabite were the specially trained Pokemons of the International Police that even they felt a little hesitation in giving both of them to Sky.
They were the top of their breed and hence far more stronger and more intelligent than their wild counterparts.
"Interesting."
Sky said while smiling. He had blocked his face at the last moment with his hands. Now they were charred.
" You really didn't hold back... Ha ha I really need someone like you, someone who would kill me when I so. Now that, you have shown your part of the deal then I should get serious as well and always remember that in a fight, never give your opponent the chance to recover, always make sure that it is unable to battle and only then let your guards. Understood."
"Gabite!"
Gabite nodded thrice.
"So shall we?"
Sky said while taking a simple fighting pose. His hands had already recovered in the time that he used to talk with Gabite.
Both of them got ready for the battle and it was Sky that took the lead this time.
In less than a second, he was in front of Gabite with his hands on her throat. He choke slammed her before she could even saw his figure.
Her figure was lying unconsciously in a small crater that was created by the impact. It was a 4 feet wide and half a feet deep crater.
Gabite lost the match.
All of this happened in a flash or just a second.
Sky was like a single point damager fighter. He can do insane amounts of damage yet had really low defence.
"I think you should battle it out among yourselves for now as I still haven't been able to control my strength increase properly... Yeah but let's end it after a small bout with Riolu."
Sky said while clenching his fist to gauge the strength increase.
It had been nearly a weak and his strength was still increasing. So were his speed and recovery. Him practising with them in his unstable state could cause imaginable loses.
Pokemons were far more durable than humans but they were still not durable enough to stop tens of tons of force.
The current Sky can rip apart 10 cm steel like paper.
As for why he wanted to fight with Riolu. Simply because the other Pokemons have the misunderstanding that he viewed Riolu higher than them. Personally he loved Riolu more than all of them combined but that doesn't mean that he puts her above them.
All of them were his Pokemons and their well-being and safety was his responsibility. Both physically and mentally. He can't just act partial towards a single group.
For him, all of them were like his children and he will make sure that they will live in harmony even when he was not there to stop them from fighting.
"Come on, I will make sure to not kill you accidentally."
"Riolu ." (After my death, you can take my Pokeblocks absy, I am sorry for saying those words to you as well."
"Sol." ( You act like you are going to die.)
"Rio." (Then you fight.)
"..." ((٥↼_↼) *looking elsewhere* )
A short conversation between two frenemies.
"Rio..."
Riolu came to the fighting arena (temporary). Her ears were drooping and she once had the same look that she used to have in the beginning. She had given hope in life.
"I will just defend as you are too weak to hurt me so come with all you have got."
"Rio? Riooo 😡🔥🔥"
Riolu felt anger rising in her. She was being looked down upon and so much at that. She felt humiliation and wanted revenge. So she blindly rushed and attacked with her new attack.
Sky was also waiting for her. He wanted to see her growth. He had reported of the accomplishment of her winning (tieing) with the Professor. He commented that her growth was indeed weird as the one that he saw first could not even defeat a Caterpie with her strength.
To defeat the first Gym leaders local Pokemons was a feat worthy of admiration. Professor Rowan wanted to check Riolu for once personally but Sky as usual rejected him without any other thoughts.
'Since you don't want to be tested then that is fine as well.'
He won't mind straining his relationship with the Professor for her or anyone of his Pokemons.
Sky was a little curious about the weird strength increase in his Riolu.
He thought all this in the time that Riolu came to attack him. Having a nine times the thought process helped lot.
Sky sae the anger and sadness in her eyes as she prepared to attack him.
'Kids are so easy to manipulate.'
Riolu attacked Sky and he was flying ( floating) now.
'hmm, that is a new move.'
He summersaulted in the middle of his flying adventures and perfectly landed on the ground just to face a quick tackle, he immediately dodged it with a few side steps.
A vacuum wave just passed his path a second later than him.
'she is really angry, did I overdo.'
With a quick dash he caught Riolu in his grip and then dragged her towards the others.
All of them were looking at the hanging Riolu and then at Sky who was calmy coming towards them.
"You guys wait here, there is something that I have to check. Don't go ok."
Sky said seriously. Even the angry Riolu calmed down looking at Sky's serious attitude.
All his Pokemons felt it. Something was wrong again as he made that face only when there was danger.
All of them tensed a little. They Looked at Sky but he was gone.
