40 Chapter 37 7th gym battle and back alone

Kash P.O.V

When we woke up, me and Lucy went to breakfest while we fed our Pokemon after taking them from nurse Joy.While we are talking, you can feel some tension in the air as we both know tomorrow Lucy has to go back and I promised I would watch the news the following week.After we are done I follow her to the gym when we enter I hear

??????? "I remember you, you were the first trainer that beat us in the gym. Since you are here you must be here for me right"

???????" Come on Tate, it's obvious she is here with the gentleman beside her, who must be a challenger and I can say she very lucky" as they look at each other

Tate" Hey I am better then that guy right" as I start to get mad and have my aura surround them causing them to shiver and Lucy to smile as she realises what I am doing

Kash "You know we can hear you right, and I don't appreciate you talking about my girl like that in front of me" as they look at each other and nod while I can feel some pressure coming from my side as I look at Cinder and see him looking at them a little protective.

Lucy" Lets stop all of this, and start the gym battle okay" as I know she will know what's coming from me as it has happened to her once, as we walk to battlefield but they tell Lucy takes the stairs as their battlefield is special. I agree when I see it as their is planets floating around and they tell methe whole room counts as it.

As I smile at them and say

Kash "I think I will win this battle quite easily as I am still a little pissed" as I elect glares from the 2 of them as they release there Pokémon a Solrock and Lunatone when the ref states

Referee " The battle between Mossdeep gym leader Liz and Tate and the challanger Kash. It is a tag battle and the challanger is allowed only 2 Pokemon, meaning no substitution"as I listen and can be expected as they are twins and from Lucy's hints earlier. I call out for my 2 Pokemon, Zweilous and Absol as they are surpsied as my first Pokemon they have never seen and my 2nd is rare Pokemon that is hard to see, not that they havn't been challanged by one before as they lost horribly.

As we start the battle I call for Absol to use sword dance and Zweilous to use work up, causing both Pokemon have to power up thier moves respectivly.As they see my plan and try to disrupt as they call for Lunatone to use psychic on Zweilous not realising he is immune and Solrock using earthquake as I tell my Pokemon to jump on planets to avoid it.

Kash "Thanks for giving me the best place to avoid your move"as they grimice at my idea as I call for both my Pokemon to use dark pulse on them respectivly hitting them to the ground as I tell my Pokemon to jump from planet to planet. Avoiding moves that target them, as my opponents know half thier stategy my Pokemon is immune to,as they call for both there Pokemon to use rock slide in sync and thanks to large size of the attack makes it very hard to dodge causing them to get hit. When they recover I decide to end this with Absol useing dark slash and Zweilous to use outrage hurting both Pokemon and hitting them to ground knocked out in sync.

Referee "The gym leaders Pokemon are unable to contiue the challanger wins the gym battle" as the twins look a little sad as I walk up to them to shake there hand, and tell them

Kash "That was a good battle it might not look it, I am a very strong trainer and with the type advantage you have very little chance of winning. I might have started late on my journey but I have alot of experiance in my hunting" as they looking at me a little scared at that as Lucy comes down

Lucy "Don't let them misunderstand, he means hunting poachers, besides Hoenn, he has quite a reputation as poacher hunter in kanto, johto and sinnoh as he has been doing it since he was 8, meaning he has been doing it for over 7 years. And you two have gotten more in sync since we last battled" as they look at eachother and say

Tate" When we have a challanger that bugs us we seem to be able to sync are moves together better along with not fighting" as I smile at that thinking of the benifits of mutual enemy.While we thank them and head out back to the center as my Pokemon need some healing from the battle when we reach it and head inside I hear someone calling me

Steven "Kash I have been looking for you as I knew you would be here, as this city is where my home is I have been waiting for a week, knowing your strength" as he then notices who is beside me

"I didn't know you knew Lucy"

As I am quite surprised that they knew each other

Kash"While she is my girlfreind as of a few days ago, and I was freinds long before that" as he looks at her for confirmation

Steven "Does he know of your job and the project" as I look at him and with his status makes sense that he knew it

Lucy "No I promised that I would keep it secret as Scott wants him to compete" as it gets me a little more confused

Steven "Anyway, Sidney will be a little upset at the news when I tell him. First is I have news is that in 2 weeks I will be challanging to be the new Hoenn league Champion, it will be at Sootopolis city and I wanted you to be there and watch as we both know your level.One of my colleagues will be arriving tomorrow who also wants to meet you, so I was wondering if we can meet at my house for lunch tomorrow.

Kash "I would love to come as I have that gym next as it is my last one, Lucy is leaving in the morning and I have no other plans besides that, so I will see you tomorrow" as he heads out and says he will see me then

When we reach the room I can see Lucy in contemplation as we decide to rest before dinner when we head out and reach the restaurent we start talking

Kash "Im glad Steven has a shot now, hes been trying for it for a while now. Anyway, I will miss you when your gone.

Lucy" Me too, but I will come see you when the Hoenn league starts in a month after you get your 8th gym badge,"

Kash "You can just leave, when you want?" as she explains that her job doesn't require her to be their all the time like a gym, as long as she doesn't abuse it she can be anywhere she wants when not needed.As we head to our room and sleep while in eachother embrace I smile and feel at peace.

When we wake in the morning we say goodbye after breakfest after she head to her ferry and I kiss her goodbye getting another cute blush from her as she leaves and I am back to traveling alone.
