Act Four

"Yeah We should." Said Kenji. He asked Nurse Joy for permission. She nodded.

"Yes. Actually, I think it may be lonely. If it arrives to the sea and is unhappy, Maybe you can let him come with you." She said. Kenji nodded. "Hey, maybe I could catch it for Auralie, and then she'll love me!" he thought to himself, hopefully.

He went back to Auralie. "Its a yes." he said.

Auralie nodded and looked toward Honchkrow, "You up for one more ride girl?" She picked Shellder up and walked toward the doors. As the opened she walked out and Honchkrow prepared to take off. All they needed was Kenji and Pidgeotto, as they waited she stroked Honchkrow's feathers and Shellder's shell.

"Ladies first." Kenji said politely. As he got on Pidgeotto.

Auralie nodded and gave Honchkrow the signal to go. With that they were off, Honchkrow flew as fast as she could trying to get to the beach where they had found Shellder. As they landed Auralie heard it, the rumbling of motorcycles. She froze she couldn't move, there was no way that she could not remember the sound. "No." She whispered to herself, Honchkrow let out an awful caw and this let Auralie know that she too remembered.

"What is it?" said Kenji. He looked at the cyclists. "That can't be good. They remind me of that movie, Rumble Fish." said Kenji.

Auralie stood motionless as the bikers moved closer. She was terrified and she could feel the little Shellder shake from fear. She then came to a resolution, she would be strong for Shellder. As the bikers moved toward her she readied herself. Then they began to talk to her.

"Well, look at we have here. Looks like a cutie couple on the beach. Whaddya think, Aaron?" said one of them. "Heh, I don't know. But at least they ain't no cops or anything." said another. "Hey guys, we don't want any trouble." said Kenji, nervously. They ignored him. One of them looked Closely at Auralie. "Hey there sweetie, what's you're name." he said with a fiendish smile.

Auralie looked fiercely at him and refused to answer. She sat Shellder down and looked at Honchkrow, her partner gave a meaningful look and she knew that she would be ok. "Alright if you've got a problem the you had best state it now!" She told them feeling confident in her abilities.

"Oh really? Hey guys, she's getting real fiesty, ain't she?" said the guy name Aaron. He was a big bald guy with a goatee. "Hey Eddy, what to we do to chicks like this?" he said to a guy with a black beanie. "We check 'em out." Eddy said fiendishly.

The other guy came over and started harshly rubbing Auralie's cheeks. "You're kinda cute, you know that. Maybe I should give ya a hug. I like that smooth skin..." he said.

Auralie grinned at this, she would not be a victim anymore! She looked at Honchkrow and nodded. She felt grubby hands on her and used all her strength to knock them off. "Now Honchkrow, use Haze." She said in a low and cutting voice. She had no idea where this part of her was coming from but she liked it. Her green hair flew furiously around her due to the rising wind and the storm that was blowing in off the sea.

Eddy and the other guy were effected. But Aaron walked right through it, and grabbed Honchkrow's beak with his beefy hand. "Ha! I've walked through the most dangerous hurricanes baby. This is nothin." he said.

Eddy walked over and Grabbed Auralie by the back. The other guy came over, and lifted her shirt up a little. "Where should we start? Here, or here?" he said. Then he took out a marker and drew an X beside her belly button. "How about here..."" he said.

Then, he had a sword by his throat. "Let her go." said Kenji, holding the sword. He saw Auralie and tried to make out how she was reacting to what they were doing to her.

Auralie stayed calm, she stuck her hand in her pocket and pulled out a pokeball. She the released the pokemon inside, it was Roserade. She then spoke quickly, "Now use Toxic Spikes and then use Sludge Bomb!" By now that haze was fading and she needed something to do. She had no ide what to do to get these guys to leave but she had to do something. Maybe she could challenge the leader, "Hey you! I challenge you to a battle!"

"Alright then." said Aaron. He let out a Pokemon: Toxicroak [Lvl 21]

Hakudoshi was quietly strolling around a small beach that was close to Celadon and could be accessed through taking a route from Saffron. Following after him was his beloved childhood friend and starter Pokemon Gardevoir. Along the way, he found a few people about to battle and raised his eyebrow in curiosity. Deciding to see if he could get in on the action, he moved towards them and called out to them. "You guys look like you're ready for a battle. Do you mind if I join in?" he said to them with a smirk on his young face. Karei flipped her green hair in a snobby manner, seeming very confident she could take any of these Pokemon.

Auralie looked at the boy interestedly for a moment and then nodded her head. "Sure but I have the Toxicroak. Aaron and I have a little score to settle. She told the boy as she called on Honchkrow. She looked ready and did not seem to pay much attention to the boy or his pokemon. Now she was ready, Auralie could not lose this not after what happened. "Now Honchkrow, Lets start things off with Haze! Then follow it up with a Wing Attack." She called to her pokemon as Honchkrow began to carry out the orders given to her.

Toxicroak dodged wing attack, got hit with haze, and used poison jab.

"Get that stupid thing out of our faces!' Said a goon slapping the sword away. Then they started beating u Kenji.

Auralie seen the Poison Jab coming and so did Honchkrow. She dodged it effortlessly and then rounded waiting for orders. Auralie was more than willing to oblige, she assessed the situation quickly and then called out the order, "Now use Peck, and then hit it with another Wing Attack." She called to her pokemon. she noticed she had started to sweat slightly due to her nerves. She was pulling at her green lock and then she noticed that the goons had begun to beat Kenji. "That was not part of our deal. Go Roserade use Sludge Bomb." She said as her pokemon started to shoot poisonous blobs toward the attackers.

Hakudoshi narrowed his eyes at the cowardly attackers, so he spoke into Karei's mind with his Psychic abilities. 'Karei, hit them with a Confusion' he said to her in her mind, causing Karei to glow blue as she hit the attacks with a Confusion.

The two goons got hit with the bombs, stopped attacking, and started coughing imediately. Then, Phsycic started to take formation, and they're heads started rumbling and throbbing.

Toxicroak was hit by Wing Attack and Peck, and still it stood. It's next resort was to use Toxic on Honchkrow.

Meanwhile, Kenji was laying on the ground, pretty beaten up. He weakly whispered Auralie's name, over and over.

Auralie nodded and then frowned when she seen Kenji on the ground. She needed to end this quick, "Now Roserade, guard Kenji don't let any of those goons near him. Honchkrow lets hit them with another Haze and then a Wing Attack!" She was worried that they might have seriously injured Kenji. She also was not sure about the other boy who had shown up, he could be trouble if she as not careful.

Hakudoshi might have been a bit selfish, but even he ganging up on someone and attacking them was morally wrong, so he decided to help the two out. 'Hit them with a Psyshock and make sure they are knocked unconscious' he instructed Karei in her mind with his Psychic abilities, causing her to follow through with his command and hit the goons with a Psyshock attack.

Toxicroak looked weakened by the wing attack. It attempted to throw a Mud Bomb at Honchkrow.

When Psyshock was used, it made one of the two crumble to the ground, but the guy named eddy only got made, and ran towards the boy with the pokemon doing that to him, and was ready to punch his face.

Kenji on the other hand, was still beaten up. He saw Roserade protecting him, and new Auralie would be by his side. He sighed in relief.

Auralie smiled at the vain attempt to hit her pokemon. Honchkrow seemed to laugh at the pathetic attack. Most people knew that ground attacks did not work on flying type pokemon, but oh well. "Now finish this up, use Peck and then hit it hard with a Pursuit!" She ordered Honchkrow. She noticed something blue gleam in the leader's pocket. It appeared to be a water stone perhaps, but she was unsure.

The Shellder went up to the stone. It touched it. Then it turned to a bright flash, and then, a Cloyster appeared!

Kenji sat up and saw it. "Maybe I can...help Auralie...with it." said Kenji. He threw a Pokeball at it, and, in a few shakes, there was a ding, and Kenji caught it! Then he let it out.

"Alright, use tackle!" it said. And it assisted Honchkrow in Fighting Toxicroak.

Auralie smiled at Kenji helping her. She was super happy that she had someone to back her up. She looked back at the stranger and smiled at him and then watched to see if the attacks hit.
