//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: Skull vs. Flare // Story: Pokemon Legendary Conquest // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// "Ahh man I can't wait to see what kind of new Pokemon are in Alola!" Shauna squealed with delight. "Ooh just thinking about the new kinds of Pokemon I get to study makes me jumpy," said Trevor. Serena laughed seeing how excited her friends were as much herself. Ever since the first encounter with Team Conquest Serena and her friends have been grinding their teams in case of another encounter. But when Sycamore asked them to go Alola to discuss matters regarding the vanishing incident, they decided to hold off on training for a while. "We'll be reaching Alola shortly, folks please buckle up your seat belts and prepare for landing," said the man on the speaker. "Hey guys I can see Alola from here!" said Tierno. Shauna and Trevor pressed their face against the window to see Alola's four islands grow bigger as their plane descended on Melemele. "What you guys ran into more of those Team Conquest Grunts?!" asked Mallow. "Yeah luckily Gladion was there to help us out of the mess," answered Ash. "We also managed to save that poor Latios from them," added Lillie. "What a Latios!?" asked Sophocles. "The legendary Dragon Psychic Pokemon," said Kiawe. Suddenly Kukui walked in catching everyone's attention,"Alright settle down guys I have an important announcement to make, very soon we're going to have some trainers from the Kalos region joining us for a couple of days," "The Kalos region!?" Lana asked. "That's right I've talked to their Professor and agreed it would be great if they came to Alola to learn about how Pokemon works around here, plus they might be able to help us deal with the vanishings since they too came in contact with Team Conquest," answer Kukui. "Them too?" asked Kiawe. "It seems like Team Conquest is everywhere," said Ash. "Don't worry Ash sooner or later things will go back to normal," said Kukui. "I hope so," said Lillie. "Wait now that I think about it those guys should have arrived by now, I should probably go to the airport to check," said Kukui. "I want to go!" said Ash raising his hand. "Yeah i want to meet them," said Mallow. "Me too," said Lana. "I would also like to meet them," said Lillie. "Alright then let's all go," said Kukui. "Well we're here," said Serena. "Isn't someone supposed to be meeting us?" asked Shauna. "Yeah but we can wait right, I think it be good if we take out our Pokemon so they can get some fresh air," suggested Serena. "Yeah!" said Tierno taking out his Pokeballs. "Alright my cute little Pokemon come on out!" chirped Shauna throwing her Pokeballs in the air. "You guys too!" said Tierno following Shauna's example. "Same for you all!" said Trevor. Serena smiled as she did the same with her Pokemon. Upon throwing the balls, a Delcatty, Delphox, Goodra, and a Venusaur popped out of Shauna's Pokeballs, a Talonflame, Crawdaunt, Roserade, and Blastoise popped out of Tierno's Pokeballs, a Raichu, Aerodactyl, Florges, and Charizard popped out of Trevor's Pokeballs, and a Braxien, Sylveon, Pancham, and Absol popped out of Serena's Pokeballs. "Alright guys go on get some fresh air in those bodies of yours," said Serena. Each and every one of the four's Pokemon chirped, cried, and squeaked with glee. "Hey nice Pokemon you got there," a voice spoke up. The four looked up to see two figures walking up to them. Both figures were wearing black tank tops and shorts with a bandana of the same color over their mouths. Both figures were wearing white hats with one black circle and one black semicircle making it look like a skull. A shiny grey necklace with the letter S in the shape of a skull hung around both figure's necks. Both figures curved their arms brought them up to their chest, swung out and brought them down so their hands were pointing at their waists making a skull formation with their arms. "Yo, yo those Pokemon look cool hope you wouldn't mind handing them over would ya?" said the figure to the left. "Um sorry who are you?" asked Shauna. "We're Team Skull yo and we're here to take those Pokemon from you homie," said Grunt A. "Excuse me but isn't that technically stealing?" asked Shauna. "Who cares yo, hand them over or else yo," said Grunt B. "We're almost there guys," said Kukui. "Alright!" said Ash. As Kukui led his class up the path leading to the airport, the group could see six figures standing outside waiting for them. "Wait is that?" Ash squinted to get a better look at the four trainers standing there, once he realized who they were a grin spread over his mouth. "Hey Serena!" Ash called out waving his hand. Serena looked past the grunts shoulders to see Ash waving at her,"Ash is that you?" she called back. "Ash you know them?" Mallow asked. "Yeah they were friends of mine when I was in the Kalos region," answered Ash. "Hi Ash!" Shauna waved at him. "Shauna long time no see!" Ash waved back at them. "Wait but who are those two?" asked Lana pointing to the two figures standing in front of Ash's friends. Both Grunts turned around and yelped. "YOU!" yelled Mallow. "What the, hey it's you guys," said Grunt A. "Team Skull!" shouted Ash. "Wait Ash you know these guys?" asked Serena. "Yeah they're a bunch of groups called Team Skull who steals other people's Pokemon and drags them into battles others don't want to be in," answered Ash. "What so you ARE thieves!" screamed Shauna pointing at the Skull Grunts. "Who cares yo," said Grunt B. "I can't believe you guys are still causing trouble," said Kiawe. "Just give it up already," said Mallow. "Shut up we're gonna steal these Pokemon and you can't stop us," said Grunt B. "Oh you will?" a voice asked. The group turned towards the voice to see two figures wearing red suits and pants with black gloves. Their red glasses and hair made them look like a bunch of hippies obsessed with the color red. "What now yo?" asked Skull Grunt A. "Wait what are YOU doing here?" asked Tierno pointing at the figures in red. "That's what we should be asking you," said the left figure. "Oh great more trouble I suppose," groaned Sophocles. "Ha us trouble, we're only here to punish those two," said the right figure pointing at the Skull Grunts. "What are you talking about homie, who are you anyway yo?" asked Skull Grunt B. "We're Team Flare," said Flare Grunt A. "Team Flare?" asked Kukui. "They tried to destroy Kalos," answered Ash. "Shame on you," said Lillie. "Ha think you can stop us homie?" asked Skull Grunt A pulling out a Pokeball,"Go Salandit!" "Go Fromantis!" yelled Skull Grunt B throwing his Pokeball. Out of Grunt A's Pokeball a small black lizard with a smug look on it's face popped out followed by a small green leafy Pokemon with big red eyes from Skull Grunt B's Pokeball. "You want a battle you got one, Go Houndour!" said Flare Grunt A throwing his Pokeball. "Zubat you're up!" said Flare Grunt throwing his Pokeball. Out of Flare Grunt A's Pokeball a small black dog with a red muzzle popped out followed by a small blue bat from Flare Grunt B's Pokeball. "Guys now's your chance come with us," whispered Kukui. Serena Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna quickly returned their Pokemon, grabbed their luggage and sneaked past the Skull Grunts while they were distracted by the two Flare Grunts. The group quickly ran off without both sets of grunts noticing they were gone.
