Chapter no.255 Yellow's Bribes

[ POV Change ]
[ Fuchsia City - Public Park ]
Austin was exhausted trying to feed everyone.
Wortortle and Ninjask didn't want to eat their boring old breakfast.
Charmeleon was glaring at Dragonair as he couldn't except the Pseudo legendary as a part of family.
Austin chalked it down to jealousy or maybe territorial aggression. He had put down a notification to talk to Charmeleon about his attitude towards Dragonair who had been happily accepted into the family.
Haunter had spooked Ditto which had let to him turning into a doormat while Kingler and Butterfree were extremely bored.
Fearow refused to sit with anyone while Pidgeot had gone out to fly for bit.
Bulbasaur would have normally handled everything but today he was absorbing the Miracle Seed into his body.
Clefable and Scizor were reading a book they had found in their room at the pokemon center while Pikachu was eating his favorite ice-cream ketchup combo.
" You know, looking at this scene I don't think you are a good trainer." Lucario commented as he happily drank in hot coco.
" So when do we start with aura training?"
" Well, after you sort out this mess." Lucario answered back.
" Why don't you go to Dragonair ? I am sure her hints are obvious." Austin jabbed at Luacrio with a smirk.
" Oh, really I think I will. At least she is better company then you." Luacrio replied as he got up.
Austin sighed while checking out his pokedex.
" Rhyhorn. The spikes pokémon. Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not smart.
This rhyhorn is male. Current Move set: Horn attack, Smack down, bulldoze, and rock blast. Its ability is rock head."
Austin nodded while a plan for training Rhyhorn came to mind.
Turning to the search bar on his Pokedex, Austin searched about Rhyhorn on the Pokenet which seemed to have blown up in popularity these past few weeks.
Rhyhorn were, in general, pretty normal pokémon, albeit one with high offensive capabilities. Their major negative attribute was their lack of intelligence, and were not an option for a wit-based battle. However, their evolutions Rhydon, and its final form Rhyperiors were absolute monsters in all sense of the term. In fact, a rhyperior was easily able to give a Charizard a hard time, considering that their hide was literally immune to even magma. On the other hand, the amount of hard work required to evolve a rhyhorn into one of those was staggering, though justified, since the final evolution was literally the epitome of badassery.
Austin read the forum he had found with a slight chuckle.
" Ding "
Hearing the notifications sound out, Austin clicked on to see a voice message from Bill.
" Hey there Ash, you know sometimes I wonder just what kind of luck you have when you sent a pink Magikarp my way but after a few tests, I found that the Magikarp wasn't a shiny rather it was due to the excess intake of pinkan berries in it's diet that it had such a unique colouration. And congratulations on catching a Dragonair, I sometimes envy your luck.Oh, yeah, Ash I wanted to tell you this but can you come by the lighthouse that I stay at I want to conduct a few tests on your unqiue Charmeleon and I want to give you something."
Austin was intrigued but sudden noise caused him to look up where he saw Kitty and Dody coming towards them.
Yellow hopped down Dody with a scared Dratini wrapped around her neck like a scarf and Pichu ridding in a pocket.
" Ash, Huff, Ash, Huff."
" Yellow, breath in slowly. Why are you in such a rush so early in morning ?"
" Look at what I found."
Yellow handed over a pamphlet while huffing.
Austin took the pamphlet that showed an advertisement for the Battle Chateau which will be hosted in a few days.
" Not that I am happy for you but was it that important for you to run over here ?"
Yellow blushed and looked down as she joined her pointer fingers while doing semi-clockwise and semi-anticlockwise motions with her wrists.
Yellow asked while puckering her lips.
" Could you help me train ?"
" ..... No."
" Wait, why ?!"
" You don't need me to train, I am more worried for the competition." Austin casually said as he went back to reading the weird articles that he was finding on the Pokenet.
" Come on, I need help. I am really bad." Yellow said causing Austin to glance up.
" .... "
" Please."
" .... "
" .... " Yellow stared at Austin with puppy dog eyes causing Austin to sigh making Yellow smile thinking she had convinced Austin.
Pikachu and the others meanwhile were enjoying this while Haunter had made a betting table on what Austin would say.
Everyone had placed a pile of berries on poor ditto who was holding back his tears.
' Please, don't use me like a table.' Ditto whispered out but no one was able to listen to the shy little guy.
Pikachu, Wortortle and a few others were betting on Austin saying yes while Luacrio, Fearow and a few were betting on Austin saying no.
" No."
Austin said it bluntly causing Yellow to freeze in shock.
Meanwhile some of the Pokemons were cheering while some grumbled.
" You know, Ash." Yellow's voice caused everyone to stop.
" If you help me train, you can have this." Yellow said as pushed a cigarette towards Austin who looked at between the cigarette and Yellow.
" This is mine."
" Only if you train me."
" No, I am saying, did you take this from my pack ?" Austin asked causing Yellow to whistle as she looked to the side while trying to slowly take back the cigarette.
Austin placed his hand down.
" Eep."
" Fine, I will train you." Austin said causing Yellow to break out in a bright smile.
' Sigh, to think I would get bribed into something with my own stuff.'
Meanwhile an argument broke out between the pokemons.
" Who won ?" Wortortle asked as Luacrio got up and took a handful of Berries.
" I did."
" Let's put it up for vote." Pikachu suggested.
" No, we won since human choose yes in the end." Charmeleon said with a growl as he glared at Luacrio.
" Stop glaring at me, little lizard or I will sand attack you." Luacrio answered with a smirk as he popped a berry into his mouth.
" You know sandattack." Pikachu curiously asked.
Wortortle looked at the lineup as he curiously asked. "Bro, who here learns Sand Attack?"
"I do! I do!" Butterfree said, hopping up and down.
"I don't," Charmeleon growled, scratching at his face.
A sharp whistle cut through their argument, redirecting their attention to Luacrio, looming over them and looking angry at the fact that they had fallen to bickering in his presence.
"Shut up, the lot of you," Luacrio demanded. "Sand Attack is as basic as this."
And with that, he scooped up a handful of dirt and flung it away.
"There. That's it. You throw dirt in your opponent's eye. The end. And you don't think you could learn that?"
" Hey, stop changing the subject. We won this." Charmeleon said as his glare increased.
" Oh, really." Luacrio asked meanwhile poor ditto was in tears.
' Please stop arguing.' Ditto whispered as he whimpered.
