Private/Closed Kanto league tournament

Nion was finally pused and shoved to some office and Nion saw Zack just coming out of it. Nion was pushed into the office onto a chair. "Why hello my sir so your the one who pulled a stunt that changed everything huh?"A person said on the other side of a desk. "Yeah guess I did"Nion said. "You know what nothings gonna happen to you you'll be perfectly fine like nothing happened and that guy who drugged you was arrested"The manager said. "Now take him away we wouldn't want to miss anything would we"The manager said. The cops took Nion out of the room and let him Rome free now. Nion ran to try and find Zack and he did. "Ounce again I'm sorry for dragging you into this Zack I hope you know that, I'm gonna watch the rest of the 1st rounds you can come...... HONESTLY THIS ALL MY FAULT I RUINED YOU LIFE!!!!"Nion said screaming.
 
Riley had thought he heard someone call his name but he ignored it. What he didn't ignore was when security came over too Rilley and asked him to come with them. "I'm not on fucking drugs. You can leave me alone." Riley told them before looking back at the ongoing match. "And Golduck floods its opponent with surf!' The announcer exclaimed. The camera zoomed in too the first couple of rows in the stadium that got soaked which Riley thought was funny. Apparently the opposing trainer almost drowned and was quickly helped by medical services. The water was also being drained out.

Riley's was focus was batted away as he was suddenly forced up by a security guard. "Get the fuck off of me!" Riley exclaimed as he struggled to get free. He elbowed one of the officers in the face which probably wasn't a good idea. The officer was pissed and sent out a Machamp. Riley tried to get away but the Machamp's four arms were too much for him and he was finally restrained.

As he was escorted away, he could hear some snickering coming from some of the other trainers in the room. Then Riley got even more pissed off as he saw some people recording the whole thing. The only thing Riley could do was stick his middle finger out at the camera with a grin on his face. Riley could see the video title now. 'Trainer Being Carried Out By A Machamp!'

The next thing Riley knew, he was being seated in a room facing someone who looked important. "What the fuck?!" Riley asked, finally recognizing him. "What would the tournament manager want with me? I know I'm going to win this tournament, but I haven't made that obvious yet." Riley told the manager. "You should stop being so full of yourself." The manager said before pushing a picture of something across the table. "Do you know him?" The manager asked Riley. "Wait what? What does Zack have to do with this?" Riley asked, obviously confused.

The manager stood up and paced around the room and Riley watched him closely. Once the manager was back to the opposite side of the table, he finally spoke. "We don't just make money from the tournaments." The manager told Riley before placing a stack of Pokédollars in front of Riley. "The amount of gambling and bets that go on actually earn us twice the amount of money from the tournament. So do you now understand?" The manager asked. Riley looked at the manager, then at the money on the table. "Yeah, I'm listening." Riley stated, with a grin afterwards.

Drew walked onto the stadium. He looked at his opponent. " Go Laparas." His opponent Jack shellen said. " Just try and defeat me."
' Ice water type.' He thought. " Go pine." Drew said. He threw out his pokeball revealing an eggxecutor."
"Ice beam." Jack said. Laparas fired a beam of ice at Pine. Pine moved backwards. He kept his feet on the ground.

" Ice beam again." Jack said. "Solar beam." Drew said.
Both beams collided with each other creating a massive explosion.
 
"Hey, calm down Nion you didn't ruin my life. It's ok. All we have to do is beat the crap out of the rest of the competition here, and do what that guy in the office wants us too. If we do that then were of the hook." Zack said trying to calm down Nion.
"Also, you need to keep quite so Layla Riley don't find us. Riley would just be pissed off, and if Layla saw me, oh god I can only imagine how terrified she'd look. So just try to stay hidden from any attention. Now let's go watch the rest of the round, but stay out of sight from any people." Zack instructed. He knew how much Nion felt bad, and Zack forgave him, but maybe he didn't feel like Zack meant it. Truthfully he did.

Layla's attention turned to Dex as he waved to her and invited her to dance sometime. "Thanks uh, yeah sure." 'bomb ass moves', huh that's a first. She was pushed from her train of thought when Zack bumped into her and knocked them both down sending the swarm of guys into a panic. "Hey man watch where you're going!" Layla didn't have time to even reply to Zack before he ran off. She got up on her own and saw Riley in the waiting room. "Oh hey Ri-" She stopped when a few security guards came over and took him away with a machamp. Layla watched him get taken away dumbfounded. "What the fuck is going on?" The guys were distracted by Riley getting taken away Layla finally got away from them and went back in the hallway to take a breather.
 
Riley stepped out of the room on his own. With the deal he made with the manager, he wouldn't have any security coming his way anytime soon. Riley actually felt good for a change. Even though what he just did might be a little illegal, Riley didn't care. When he won this tournament, no one would be able to say anything about him. Riley's schedule for the next few years had also been planned out. If everything went according to plan, he would be attending a tournament in each region and he wouldn't have to pay for any of it. He also would be sponsored by some top companies like the Silph Company and others. The only thing he had to do now was have some close and intense matches. And then there was Zack. Riley was a bit concerned about that part, but he believed he would be able to handle him when the time came.

As Riley walked out, he noticed Nion and Zack talking about something in the corner. It was probably about what the manager had told them. Riley just walked away, not believing he had to talk with them. As Riley walked down the hallway, he noticed Layla just standing there. He was going to go greet her, but like always, he got interrupted by some more punks.

One of them shoved Riley against the wall, placing their arm on his neck and holding his arm up. "Did you think we would let you get away with what you did with our brother?" The guy asked. Riley just smirked. "Oh, my guess was correct." Riley told the guy, as the rest of his gang surrounded them.

Riley had also been told by the manager that Jake was part of the local gang. Apparently the gang had high hopes for him and now they would want revenge on Riley and Zack. "So you do know about us?" The gang member asked before punching Riley in the stomach. Riley felt the pain but did his best to not look hurt. He just grinned at them. "That and you smell just like the garbage you find laying on the street." Riley told him before spitting his face.

The guy wiped the spit off his face and tried to punch Riley. However, he had let Riley's neck free. Riley ducked to avoid the punch and laid a punch in the guy's chest, knocking the guy to the floor. The other members went to help their leader to his feet while Riley cracked his neck and stretched his arms. "Come on, I could take on all of you guys right now." Riley told them. The guy got up and got face to face with Riley. "Ten o'clock tonight. Down at the old hotel ruins. The one on the outskirts of the city." The leader told him, staring down Riley who was smirking. "Too scared for me to embarrass you in front of all these people. Fine then, I'll be there." Riley told the leader. The leader just nodded and motioned his gang to walk away. They passed Zack on the way by and Riley wondered how that was going to turn out.

Seems no where is safe. She tried to collect herself in the hall way and a few guys pinned Riley against a wall. Layla started to move to get the guy off Riley but before she got there Riley broke free and laid into him. They set a time and place and Layla's eyes widened in disbelief. She shook her head laughing with forced carelessness as they walked away. "Why are the only people I've talked to here back-street brawlers?" Trying to make light of the situation to Riley even though she was very concerned. "You aren't seriously going to fight them are you? You know how stupid that would be right?"
 
Nion just walked away but then he saw a couple of people and one of them got beaten up by Riley. Nion looked at Riley who seemed to be talking to layla and looked the opposite direction immediately. Nion then started speeding up. Then he remembered Zack was still there. Nion started getting Zack attention with his hands them he pointed to Riley and layla and he ran to get his seat to watch the rest of the tourament.
 
Riley smiled a bit when he saw Layla. "So that was you who was laughing. You thought that was funny, didn't you? Now what if I got hurt?" Riley asked sarcastically and rubbed the spot where he was punched for extra effect. "Well what is going to be funny is when I crush them all tonight." Riley told Layla, being a bit more serious now. "As for your question, I'm not dumb enough to fight them by myself. Obviously it would be a murder. I have my partners who'll always have my back." Riley said, pointing to his Pokébelt where his pokeballs were held. "There's no way I'll lose to those losers." Riley reassured her.
 
Nion released his pokemon so they could eat he gave them all berry bags. His snorlax ate the bag with the berrys in it and all the pokemon were still eating. Nion started patting snorlax and there was a white flash. Snorlax now had bigger fur witch spreaded across the floor like 5 ft if he was stading up. He grew to 12 ft and he was 8 ft. His teeth and claws grew 9 inches bigger and his eyes turned fully white. Nion returned snorlax quickly and all his other pokemon he got up. Nion was so confused there was only one person to go to. Nion started running till he found Zack. "Zack I think there's something wrong with my pokemon"Nion said. "If I showed you do you think you could know?"Nion asked.
 
Nion started walking away, and Zack didn't know why, but then he pointed over down the hall, and he saw Layla and Riley, the two people he was trying to avoid. He started to follow Nion when a big guy grabbed him by the arm and pulled him outside.
"Hey what the hell do you think you're doing?" Zack asked threatened. The guy did not look friendly.
"We just had a little chat with your friend over there." The guy said pointing to Riley. "After we're done kicking him to the floor, it's your turn." The guy said, walking away with a smirk on his face like he just proved something, along with his friends walking behind. Not if I can help it Zack thought. He ran up behind the guy, kicking the back of his knees, making him come down to his knees. Then Zack went face to face with him.
"You are not going to be treating me, or my friends, like there your little punching bags." Zack said, holding the collar of his shirt. "Because if you do, the punching bag punches back." Zack said, socking the guy in the head. He fell over, and his gang surrounded him, and carried him away somewhere. The only reason he decided to fight this guy was because he knew no one was around to record, or see it happen. Then he walked back inside and Nion talked to him about his pokemon.
"No Nion, I have no idea what's going on, I think the safe thing to do is take them to a center, and have them checked by a professional Nion." Zack told him, and then started fast walking into the stadium with a hand next to his head so Riley and Layla hopefully wouldn't see him. The hand he blocked his head though, was bloody from the punch he gave to the gang leader.
 
Nion just walked away to a pokemon center wich was in the building. He got there and he showed them his pokemon. "You have a battle bond with him!"Said the nurse. "Omg I've heard of that my dad has one with a lapras it looked like a savadge when it did that"Nion said walking just one step out of the small room and he saw Zack who was passing threw Riley and Layla. Well that took only like not even a minute more like 30 seconds. Nion saw blood on Zacks hand. Nion ran over with his eyes widened. He pushed Zack faster to the stadium seats . He gave Zack a wet rag. "Dude there's blood on your hand we don't want people thinking we just had done killed someone"Nion said. "Now let's go sit down and watch the rest of the tourament."Nion said taking a seat.

Zack noticed the blood on his hand.
"Oh shit!" He yelled grabbing the wet rag, and scrubbing it off as fast as possible. He finally started calming down once he started watching the battle, and he was relieved that all the crazy shit was done with finally. He sent out Lance his Dragonite to sit with him for this battle, because he hadn't gotten much attention since they'd gotten on to the League.
"Hey bud, been a while since you stretched your limbs eh?" Zack asked playfully, and his dragonite let out a grunt after stretching out his wings and body. Then it happily nudged it's trainer, and they watched the rest of the battle.
 
The smoke cleared away as the two pokemon looked at each other. "Energy ball." Drew shouted. Pine did so firing multiple energy balls at the Laparas. It used ice beam destroying a couple of them but the others hit making the Laparas move backwards. "Wood hammer." Pine turned all brown as he slammed himself into the laparas knocking it to the ground. Jack couldn't think of something to say. " Now Solar beam one more time." Drew said. Pine fired his solar beam at point blank range KOing the lapars in the process. "Return." Drew said as he gain the victory.
 
Layla didn't catch on to the sarcasm and quickly tried to explain herself. "N-no, it's just that it seems like you and Zack solve everything with violence.. and I guess it starting to get a little funny." Layla let out a sigh as Riley struck to his guns. "Honestly I really wish you guys would just calm down for a bit. You are eventually going to get hurt if you keep going like this. Or worse." She shook her head as she went to check her phone, finding that she had several missed calls from home. "Better call them soon.. So you are seriously still going to fight a gang with just you and your Pokemon?" She asked staring up at Riley with a disapproving glare.
 
Riley actually listened to what Layla had too say. When he was focused on her, he completely missed the action between Zack and the gang leader. He had heard some noise but didn't think it was important. She was right about the fact that Riley and Zack were resorting to resort to violence. Riley realized he had been too careless in his actions and started to doubt himself. 'What was I thinking?' Riley thought to himself.

Riley looked back at Layla just in time to see her glare and he actually tried to look away. "Okay then. Maybe you're right about this. I can't just call this all off y'know. I told them I would show up. They-they would think I'm weak if I don't go and I can't let that happen." Riley told Layla, his voice a bit shaky. "What am I supposed to do if I don't go?" Riley asked Layla, a bit worried now.

He actually couldn't believe what he had done. Riley knew he could take them on, but he actually didn't know what type of gang they were. Chances were that they would try to ambush him or do something that Riley wouldn't be prepared for. "I seriously fucked up, didn't I?" Riley stated, now understanding his mistake.
 
Nion was impressed by drews battling style. Nion got bored to the rest of the battles tho. "Hey Zack don't you agree this is getting boring"Nion said. Nion pulled out a sandwich and ate it. Nion just stood there watching the battle. "Okay this is realy fucking boring"Nion said.
 
Layla was honestly surprised when he avoided her glare and admitted she was right. She had to hide her disbelief and excitement that she actually persuaded him. She listened to Riley's predicament, certainly did sound a little hopeless. She managed a half-hearted chuckle. "Yeah, ya did." She instantly felt like that might have been a little rough on him because even she could see that this was a very tough situation. After thinking for several seconds really wanting to help him out of his ordeal. "Maybe you could leave them a note explaining that you were busy doing something equally as masculine. like 'Haha sorry lads, I am too busy wrestling seven Ursaring.' Or 'Haha sorry lads, I've got a date.' OR 'Haha sorry lads, I'm too busy wrestling my seven dates.'" She nods with a smile on her face. "Whaddya think? Personally I think I'm on the right track."
 
"Yea Nion, this is getting boring," Zack said. He didn't mean that the battle was boring though, it was that he wasn't with his... friends? Zack returned Lance and decided to man up and go talk to Riley and Layla. If they didn't want to be near him that was fine, but he couldn't bear them not being friends. He walked out of the stadium, and up to Riley and Layla, who were talking about something important.
"Hey guys... I wanted to say sorry for the way I acted back when this predicament all started. I didn't mean the things I said, Riley, and I didn't mean to scare you Layla. I just want to be friends again," Zack apologized. Even if they didn't forgive him, he still needed to show his regret. After everything that just happened so quickly, Zack needed to slow down and process it all.
"So uh, what are you guys talking about?" Zack asked wanting to change that topic real quick.
 
Riley actually chuckled at Layla's last idea. "Yeah, seven dates and none of them would be able to put up with me. That would be the weirdest date ever." Riley told her as he tried not to imagine that scene. "Out of everything you said, the date sounds the most reasonable but then I can imagine them searching everywhere for me just to ruin it. Then when they don't find me they'll know I was lying." Riley stated, thinking a bit more logically. The thought that came next actually gave him a good idea. Either way, if Riley gave them a note, he would still have to go to the area they stated. Thinking smart, Riley figured that location was probably their hideout. His train of thought was suddenly interrupted when Zack decided to intervene.

"Well I can't say I can forgive you Zack." Riley said after hearing him out. "But I guess we can still respect each other. By the way, I saw the gang leader walk up to you. What did he say to you?" Riley asked. He wondered if the leader told Zack the same thing. He didn't see Zack punch him so he didn't know what happened.
 
"Ah... About that... Well first he dragged me outside, told me he was going to kick you to the ground or something, then said I was after you, and THEN he started leaving. But... I couldn't help myself ok? I knocked uh... him unconscious. Some of his gang carried him away, and me and Nion watched the last match. I guess we share a common enemy then? At least we can agree they needed some sense smacked into them," Zack explained, putting his bloody hand in his pocket. Zack figured that Riley wouldn't entirely forgive him, that would take a lot more to time to make up. But maybe them working together would help with that.
 
She scratched the back of her head seeing the fault in her plan after Riley talked about it. "Ok, so maybe not." She tried to keep thinking of a solution when Zack stepped in and apologized for his behavior earlier. "Yeah man, don't worry about it. I forgive you." She was smiling at both of them happy they all called down until she heard about Zack's scuffle with the gang leader and she face-palmed, back to square one. "Oh my- you guys are actually ridiculous." But then a thought crossed her head and she turned her attention back to Riley. "But hey, maybe they won't want to fight because their leader got all busted up? Maybe."
 
Nion got up from his seat realizing what Zacks going to do.... He then got to were he saw Zack talking to Riley and Layla. Nion just stood there. "Hey its the guy who fucked up"Nion said walking over to them. "I should have been alot smarter then eating white powder"Nion said. This is akward Nion said in his mind. Deciding he hasn't told Zack or anyone yet. "Hey guy apprently I have a battle bond with my snorlax. Nion sent out his snorlax who fur spread around the flour 5 ft if he was standing up and he grew to 12 ft and his claws and teeth grew 5 inches. "See pretty cool huh"Nion said.
 
What Zack had just said changed everything. "That's actually the best news I've heard all day!" Riley exclaimed, patting Zack on his shoulder. "Thanks man, I appreciate it." Riley stated, thinking of his next move. With their leader gone, their gang would be nothing for Riley. He could probably use just one Pokemon to defeat them all. After all, they didn't look like the fools who could go on without some type of leadership. He wouldn't have to worry about any ambushes or suprises. Riley now had a big grin on his face. Then he looked at Layla. Riley knew she didn't want him to go but he just couldn't pass up this opportunity. "I'm sorry Layla, but now that their leader is gone, it changes everything and now I know I can defeat them. I know I it might be dangerous but I will defeat them." Riley told her, hoping she would understand.
 
Layla let out a long sigh at Riley's enthusiasm. She saw the big grin on his face and knew what was coming next. "Fine. but if you get hurt or die, I told you so." She acted like she didn't care what happened but she would really rather him not get hurt just because she couldn't talk him out of it. She shifted her attention to the monstrosity of a snorlax and took several steps back. "Yeah... That sure is something." Layla leaned back against the wall thinking about how much less drama there was in the last tournament compared to this one. "On a brighter note, all you guys had some really good matches I wouldn't be surprised if you were all in the semi-finals."
 
"That gives me an idea... The gang, without a leader, won't be smart enough to make an ambush, but we are. They're only expecting you, but what if I tagged along. They wouldn't stand a chance against us both," Zack said suggesting his plan. He then turned to Layla.
"Layla, I know you don't think we should do this, but if we won't to stop gangs like that one for good, we need to prove to them we aren't afraid. If Riley doesn't show, then bad news. And also, if anyone, you're making it to the semi-finals." Zack told her. He felt bad she was worried about them, but he had to do this with Riley, whether he liked it or not. He noted the Snorlax behind him that almost hit the ceiling, and decided to try not provoking it. Zack then looked at his pokeballs, wondering what in the world they could be thinking after all that happened.
 
Riley thought about Zack's proposition. "Sure, why not? It would be selfish of me to hog all the fun. I know how much it would mean to you to stop a group like them." Riley told Zack before looking back at Layla. "There's no way I'm going to die there. That would be a really boring death in my opinion. Imagine the stories people would tell if they heard that I was killed by Mewtwo. I knew some people say it doesn't exist but that would be an awesome way to die. So yes, I promise you I won't die." Riley reassured her. "Zack is right about one thing though. After watching your battle, the only way you won't make it too the semi finals is if you have to face me." Riley told her before he started to walk off. "Maybe you should hope I get injured so you could win." Riley told her, joking around.

Riley turned around to walk away but instead walked right into a huge Snorlax just laying there. "What the hell?! What drugs did you feed it?" Riley asked Nion. "I'm just joking." Riley told him, realizing that previous statement might've been too harsh. "Can you move your Snorlax? It's kind of blocking the hallway." Riley asked Nion.
 
" Sure "Nion said returning it. Nion just walked away heading to the steak joint. He ordered food for his pokemon his snorlax was normal now. He then was watching tv about someone in the hospital injected with something he was under serious care. Huh wonder what it is Nion thought to himself getting his steak. His pokemon all ate while his dodrio ran around chasing a rattata. Nion was done with his steak and it was midnight Nion then went outside and layed on the belly of his snorlax looking at the stars.
 
Layla lightly slammed her head against the wall as they planned to both go fight a gang. She listened to what they both had to say and while she saw why they wanted to do it, it didn't make her worry any less. She smiled at their compliment saying that she would make it to the semi-finals but she just brushed it aside as simple flattery. They probably didn't even see the fight. Layla's smile faded at Riley's last comment. "Well that's a shitty thing to say." She shook her head at the two men feeling there's nothing else she could do and turned around and headed back to the waiting room to sit down.
 
The man watched the security cameras. "Interesting." He said as he sipped on some wine. He checked on the faces of the most interesting ones. The guy who decided to take candy from a stranger, the one on the run, The orphan. He frowned a little bit as he looked at the Orphan he looked kind of familiar to him. Cortez just shook his head. 'Coincidence.' He thought. He then looked at the other two. A boy who he couldn't quite place yet. and that girl.
"This is going to be fun." Cortez said as he took a sip of his wine.
 
It took about five minutes to fly to the location they give him. Riley made sure to look out for an old hotel. Once he saw it, he told his Dragonite to land on top of it. 'This place feels weird.' Riley thought to himself as he hopped off the dragon. It was already dark outside which didn't help Riley's case. The whole area it was in had a creepy vibe to it. "Thanks buddy." Riley told his Dragonite before returning it too its pokeball. Riley looked around the roof and saw an old service exit. When Riley walked towards the door, it suddenly flung open!

Riley would've jumped off the roof if they didn't notice who came out the door. Thankfully, atleast for Riley, it was only about a dozen gang members. "Damn! You guys scared me, I thought you were a ghost for a second!" Riley said, chuckling nervously. One of the gang members laughed and the others glared at him. "You'll be seeing ghosts in the afterlife once we're done with you!" One of the gang members yelled, pulling out a pocket knife and switching it open. Riley stepped back when he saw it. "Wait, I thought we were going to just use Pokemon." Riley asked, a bit confused.

The gang members laughed. "Pokemon?! Who do you think we are? This is the real world kid. No Pokemon. Fight your own battles or are you two scared?" The gang members told him. Riley saw right through this. "Maybe you don't want me too use a Pokemon because you know I'll win." Riley told them. The looks on their faces when he said that gave it away and before Riley could say anything else, they charged at him with their knives and bats.

Unfortunately for the gang members, they didn't have fireproof clothes. When Charizard came out, it used flamethrower, which set half of them on fire. Riley watched as they am squirmed on the ground trying to get the fire off. A dozen more flashes went off and Riley noticed a whole bunch of Zubats, Golbats, Rattatas, and some Koffings surrounded him and Charizard.

It took a few minutes for Charizard to take than half of them. Then all of a sudden it started to rain. Riley cursed the timing when more gang members ran out, sending out more Pokemon. 'Damn it, where's Zack when you need him?' Riley thought to himself as he watched Charizard use flamethrower on everything in it's path. The fire didn't last long in the rain and Riley had to watch Charizard resort to using air slash. It managed to severly injure some Pokemon as some Golbat and Zubat lost their wings. A Rattata even got its tail slashed off. Things got a little worse when some more gang members came out with Raticates and Weezings behind them.
 
Nion woke up to rain. He was sleeping outside like ." HOLY SHIT THIS IS COLD" Nion screamed. Nion went to shop to shop but they were all closed even the hotel. But he eventually came to a old closed hotel and he went in it. "Huh seems like were sleeping here tonight" Nion said. When suddenly he heard something like world war 2 or something on the roof . " WTF is that!" Nion asked himself. He started running up the steps to were he got to the top of the hotel. He saw Rileys charizard fighting tons of other pokemon that had been seriously injuired. " Oh my god!!! What the fuck Riley whats going on" Nion screamed. Nion sent out his Snorlax. Nion patted it. It turned into there battle bond from before. Nions Snorlax let out a loud roar that shook the ground a bit. Nions snorlax used crunch on all the pokemon. Snorlax just kept hitting everything with crunch. the bones of the pokemon were getting crushed.
 
"Torch dragon pulse now!" Zack yelled as him and his charizard came flying in, setting all the pokemon in it's path a blaze. Zack quickly back flipped off Torch and landed on the roof. He had taken off his glasses because of the rain and his long hair getting in the way of his eyes. He then started going karate town on the gang members in the back of the crowd. He kicked some in the face, punched some in the gut, and when a member tried to take a swing at him, he just grabbed their fist, and twisted it to almost broken.
"Good timing, good entrance, and good moves, I think that's an A+ ass kicking grade, what do you think Riley?" Zack joked, kicking a guy in the chest off the roof, which Torch caught and set down, but not before dragging him through the dirt. Zack was exhilarated fighting the gang associates. He just felt so powerful doing something good, and also punching people in the face. He made his way over to Riley, pulling a few 'Jake's' on some of the thugs (Pressure Points).
"If this is all they got, I don't even see why we came, this is too easy," Zack joked again, fighting next to Riley.
 
" Power Gem." an Irish said. A Persian jumped into view and fired rocks at the Charizard. A man walked out of the shadows he had an NR on his shirt. He was well built with short brown hair. "Team one go east." He said. "Team two go west. It's time to break these guys." He said.

" Remember." Cortez said as he talked into the man's ear. " This is only a test to see where each of them stands. You got that." He said as he tried to remember the leader grunts name. "Calvin." He said.

"Yes sir." Calvin said.
 
"Yeah, too easy." Riley said, a bit suspicious as his Charizard munched on a roasted Raticate. A power gem smacked Charizard on the back and Charizard was forced to drop his meal. Charizard roared in anger with the Raticate's blood on its fangs. "Who ever did that is going to pay." Riley said, feeling bad for the opponent. Charizard stomped over to the Persian in anger and started chasing after the agile cat. Riley soon realized they were being strategically surrounded by two groups. "Shit! There's more coming!" Riley exclaimed as he looked forward to see a man with 'NR' on his shirt. "Who the hell are you?!" Riley asked, figuring that he wasn't a normal gang member.
 
We're team Neo Rocket." Calvin said as he walked closer. " Use slash." He said The Persian jumped at the fire lizard. It's claws grew a few inches bigger. " We're not this pathetic gang you've been fighting against." He said.
 
Snorlax jumped in the way of the attack and took it like nothing. " You sure" Nion said. " Snorlax grab the Persian and use hyper beam!!!" Nion screamed. Snorlax grabbed Persian and used hyper beam. Nion stood still as he saw all the other gang members around him he punched one in the face knocking them out. " Hey Zack get your ninja moves over here please" Nion said punching a few other members.
 
A machamp got in the way and used close combat on the snorlax allowing Persain to escape in the nick of time.. " I'm sure." he said. Persain jumped on top of the snorlax before using another power gem on the Charizard.
 
"What"

That was all Will could muster as he watched the goings on via his phone.
"These people are other members of the tournament, right?" He asked himself, before hearing the telltale sounds of a battle, and decided to check it out. It could just be a friendly battle but Will was bored.

He ran into the hotel and ascended the stairs for a few floors before deciding to take the elevator. He arrived at the scene of the roof battle, shocked
 
"Got it, I'll take the ones on the right!" Zack yelled over, as he walked towards the charging thugs. He cracked his knuckles smirking, and stopped walking. The thugs charged in, and Zack did (this, it was to hard to explain XD

) to the first member. He spun in the air, and released a kick to one's face, and then decided, maybe I should focus on taking these guys faster than doing the fancy stuff. And started mowing them down in a less interesting manner, but he did what he had too.
"Alright bud, you take the left side out for me" Zack said, throwing out Boulder on the other side of the roof. Zack knew simple punches would do nothing to him, so he figured Boulder was the best choice to take them down.

Meanwhile, Torch came down over the persian/machamp battle and let off a flamethrower, and went for a fire punch on a few more minor pokemon.
