Chapter 4: Cross Tag Battle

"Well both use two Pokémon, the first to lose both will be the winner." Ace told Hyde as Hyde responded with a simple nod.

Hyde eyed his opponent as Ace did the same both trainers waited for the other to throw their first pokémon out.

(Pokémon HGSS Gym leader theme)

"Lets go Dew!" Hyde yelled, throwing Dew's pokeball.

In a flash of light Dew came out and landed on the floor and eyed the gym leader.

"Your up Patrat!" Ace yelled as he threw his pokeball.A pokemon soon came out of the pokeball and eyed Dew as she did the same

Before Hyde could make a move Ace yelled"Use leer Patrat!" Following it's trainers command Patrat looked at Dew and its eyes started to glow yellow, hypnotizing her as making her stand in place.

"Patrat use tackle!" Ace yelled, his Pokemon began to sprint at Dew, "Crap. Dew move out of the way!!" Hyde yelled but was too late as Ace's Patrat lunged and charged Dew with enough force to make her fly in the air for a couple of seconds, then land near Hyde.

"You okay?" Hyde asked as Dew got back on her feet. Dew responded by glaring at Patrat and nodding.

"Let's go Dew" Hyde said as he looked at Patrat. "Patrat use leer again." Ace yelled but before Patrat could do so. Hyde grinned "Dew, make a Stun Spore cloud in front of you!" Hyde ordered. Dew did as it was told to and made a yellow cloud in front of it.

As the others watched the battle from up top Ruby asked "Why did Hyde do that now Dew won't be able to see it's opponent?"

Yu, with a calm expression analyzing the fight "Yes but if Patrat kept using leer it would only give it more openings to attack. This way Dew's could let it stay hidden, also."

"Now Dew use Mega Drain!" Hyde yelled as green orbs flowed from Patrat into Dew healing it making Patrat wobble for a bit before regaining it's balance.

"Dew doesn't really need to see it's opponent in order to attack it just needs to know where it's opponent's general direction is." Yu explained to Ruby.

"Also this way Dew can have a form of protection with stun spore acting as it's shield." Ragna added as he kept glancing at Gible to make sure he was staying still.

"Not a bad idea kid." Ace said to Hyde. Hyde smirked at the compliment "Your not half bad too. For a second you had me scared their" Hyde said as the spore cloud settled.

"Patrat, leer!" "Dew, stun spore!" Both trainers yelled. "Patrat sprint forward and try to get around it!" Ace yelled. Patrat sprinted forward straight at Dew, "Dew use mega drain!" "Patrat use detect and jump!" Patrat at the last second jumped in the air high enough to get over the spore cloud, catching Hyde and Dew off guard.

"Patrat, Crunch!". "Crap, dodge Dew!" Hyde yelled as Patrat dive bombed at Dew making both Dew and Hyde to jump out of the way both going in different directions.

"Keep pressuring Patrat!" Ace yelled as Patrat kept trying to bite down on Dew as she dodged each attack.

(Crap she's going to get tired at this rate. But I can't put stun spore up if he keeps pressuring her, but...) Hyde thought as a grin began to grow on his face.

"Dew use stun spore under you!" Following her trainers instructions Dew released another cloud right under her making Patrat back away as it enveloped her.

"Hyde what are you doing?" Both Ruby and Ragna said in sync with each other.

But before they could start complaining Yu stopped them "No that's actually a smart plan."

Ragna looked at Yu with a confused look "explain." Ragna said straight forward.

"Dew's ability is Natural Cure, so all that Hyde has to do is switch out Dew for Ral and Dew would be healed." Yu said watching as Patrat was looking for a way into the spore cloud.

"Dew use Growth!" Hyde yelled as a sound of movement was heard "Patrat dodge!" Ace yelled but was already to late as Dew used Mega Drain, draining the last amount of energy from Patrat taking it out of the battle.

As the spore cloud settled again Dew smiled at Hyde as he gave her a thumbs up.

"Patrat return." Ace said as a red light enveloped Patrat and sucked it back into it's pokeball.

Ace looked at his pokeball and smiled "you did good bud now get some rest" he looked at Hyde and smiled.

"Not bad kid but I'm not done yet!" Ace yelled as he grabbed another grabbed another poball from his belt.

"Let's go Porygon!" Ace yelled as he threw his last pokeball. In a flash of light a Pokemon that was red and blue that looked to be made of blocks hoverd in the air.

Ruby hurried into her backpack and grabbed her pokedex and pointed at the new Pokémon. "Porygon, the Virtual Pokémon. It says that it's a Pokémon made entirely of computer codes."

"Wait so it's manmade?" Ragna asked Ruby. With her only giving a simple nod.

"Holy crap this world is weird." Ragna mutterd "A mysterious world indeed." Yu said in agreement as he tried to wrap his mind around a living thing made of computer programs.

"Porygon use tackle!" "Dew stun spore!" As Dew made another spore cloud in front of it and prepared for Porygon to jump over the cloud. But instead of jumping over, Porygon went through the cloud and tackled Dew and sent her flying back, skipping a couple of times before stopping and regaining her balance.

"This doesn't look good. Dew tag out." Hyde said as he returned Dew into her pokeball. Hyde looked at Dew's pokeball and smiled, "You take a quick break."

Hyde put Dew back in his bag and pulled out Rals. "Time to tag in Ral!" Hyde throw Rals pokeball a flash of light appeared. Ral soon appeared and gave a little battle cry and eyed Porygon.

Hyde pulled out his pokedex to look at what ability Porygon had since Ral synched with its ability.

(What the heck is Analytic?) Hyde thought. Hyyde put his pokedex away and refocused himself back to the battle.

Ral and Ace's Porygon eyed each other waiting to see who will make the first move. "Porygon tackle!" Porygon lunged at Ral. Out of instinct Ral dived to the side. Dodging Porygons attack as it made a dent in the ground, kicking up dust and rocks from the impact.

(Holy Crap that was a strong attack!) Hyde thought as he shielded his eyes from the dust and debris that Porygon made.

"Ral double team!" Ral moved fast enough to leave after image's and surrounded Porygon. "Use Magical Leaf!" A barrage of leafs were launched at Porygon from the clones. Confused Porygon launched itself at one of the Ral's only for it to be a fake.

"Ral, Shadow Sneak!" A shadow came from the ground and hit Porygon again, staggering it. (If this keeps up, I'm definitely going to win). Hyde thought.

What Hyde didn't call for was the shadow under the real Ral. "Porygon tackle the one with the shadow!" Porygon charged and slammed its body against Ral sending flying into the wall "Ral!!" Hyde yelled in worry.

(How can Porygon be this strong? It's slow but hits hard only if, wait could that be it's…) Hyde thought of something and pulled out Ral's and Dew's pokeballs. "Ral switch!" Ral went back into its pokeball.

"Time to tag in, Dew!" Dew was sent in. (Even though she is beat up, at least she isn't paralyzed anymore.) Hyde thought as Dew readies itself for battle. "Dew use Worry Seed!" "Porygon hit it before it can attack." Ace yelled but was to late. Dew launched a seed from the bud on its head and hit Porygon but traded off with it and took the hit.

But instead of being sent flying flying Dew just skid across the ground while on her feet. "I knew it. Ever since Porygon was hit with Stun Powder it seemed to be way too strong but now since it lost its ability it's attack is back to normal and since it's still paralyzed." Hyde grinned.

(UNIEL: Scraper Sky High)

"Time to finnish this!" Hyde yelled as Dew got ready "smart move kid I'm surprised you figured out Porygons ability that quickly, But don't think we're done yet!" Ace yelled as Porygon got ready to fight with all it had left.

"Dew use Growth!" Dew without a second thought began to grow bigger as it did porygon began to charge at Dew.

"To slow Dew use Mega Drain!" Dew was able to get a hit on Porygon before it collided with her and send her falling back a bit as her feet skidd across the floor.

As Dew regained her balance Hyde notice small tears forming in her eyes and lightly flinched in response. (I know it hurts Dew but between you and Ral you have a better chance at winning thanks to Mega Drain.)

Hyde focused his eyes back at the battle and narrowed his eyes (Just hang in there a bit longer Dew I believe in you). "Dew use Mega Drain one more time and finnish this!" Hyde said, clenching his first emphasizing his will to win the battle.

"Porygon, agility!" Porygon began to relax its body and move fast enough before Dew can use Mega Drain. Porygon quickly made its way behind Dew and launched a purple beam from its beak. Before Hyde could give any orders Dew was laying face down.

Hyde was frozen not knowing what to do or how to react. "D-Dew?" Was the only word that could come out of his mouth.

Up in the stands Yu and Ruby where in shock at what had just happened. "Can someone explain what just happened? Because Dew was just on the verge of winning the battle." Ruby asked as both Jade and Sapphire where in her arms watching what just happened to Dew.

"He used a move called Agility and Psybeam." Yu explained as he watched Hyde bring Dew back into her pokeball soon looking down at it with a sad look.

"Agility can raise a Pokemon's speed, and Ace used that to get behind Dew. Then he used Psybeam which is a psychic type move and that is something Dew is weak too, do to it being a poison type." Yu explained to the two in red with both Ruby and Ragna looking dumbfounded at the teen.

"Uh Yu how where you able to get so much knowledge on a Pokemon's moves and typing?" Ruby asked still amazed at the teens already knowledge about the battle even though they have been in this world for a week now.

"Through reading." Yu said while looking at the other two with his usual blank stare before watching turning his eyes back to the battle.

Ragna just shook his head and had a mental facepalm at how Yu can act like this even in serious situations as he focused himself back to the battle.

Hyde looked at the battle field tightening his grip on his pokeball. (Thanks to Agility his Porygon is probably as fast as Ral now. Plus on top of that Ral has already taken a lot of damage so I need to be quick about this.) Hyde thought as he slowly got into his stance to throw Ral back into battle.

With a slow exhale Hyde looked up his crimson eyes locked on his target. The next moment Hyde threw Ral's pokeball.

"Ral use magical leaf!" Hyde yelled it was still in its pokeball flying through the air. As soon as Ral popped out of his pokeball it used Magical Leaf as ordered just.

Porygon and Ace were caught off guard before both had time to react Porygon was hit by the barrage of leafs. Ral and Hyde smirked as the leafs were meant as a smokescreen as Ral landed right in front of it.

"Porygon, tackle!" Ace yelled in desperation. But Porygon was about to use its move it's body tensed up and couldn't move "crap" was the only word Ace could say.

"Now!!" Hyde yelled as Ral used Confusion at point blank range. With enough force to send Porygon back.

As Porygon hit the floor, Ral and Hyde were prepared to keep fighting.

(End Theme)

"That's it Porygon can no longer fight." Ace said as he pulled Porygon back into his pokeball.

Hyde was taken aback at the words he just heard. "W-Wait you mean I" Hyde said as his eyes began to grow wider.

"Yes, it means you won." Ace said with a smirk on his face.

Maybe out of sheer joy or the adrenaline from the battle just now. Hyde put his fist in the air and smiled. "We won!"

Ral ran back to Hyde smiling as Hyde picked it up, hugging his partner "Thanks Ral you and Dew both did great out there." Hyde said as he held Ral.

While the others in the stands all congratulated Hyde. "Nice job Hyde!" Ruby yelled in excitement. Yu clapped and whistled at his friends performance while Ragna smirked and gave him a thumbs up, which Hyde and Ral did the same back.

Ace Walked up to Hyde and clapped he also congratulated Hyde and gave him the Ouray city Gym badge.

The group left and made their way back to the Pokemon center to heal Hyde's team and to grab something to eat.

The four trainers sat at a table after finishing their food and still waiting for Hyde's Pokemon to be fully recover.

"Hyde that was so cool how did you know the paralysis was going to kick in?" Ruby asked Hyde with excitement in her silver eyes.

Hyde could only smile awkwardly and scratch the back of his head. "Actually that was more of a wild gamble Ruby. I didn't even think about the paralysis until it happened." Hyde told his silver eyed companion.

"Well if even if it was luck you and your Pokemon still did good in your first real battle." Yu said with a smile while Ragna nod in agreement.

"Anyways any tips you can give me Hyde? So I know what im up against." Ruby asked as she had both Sapphire and Jade on her lap.

Hyde nodded in response and gave Ruby the full rundown on what to look out for. Telling Ruby especially to watch out for Porygons ability and also explaining why. Yu on the other hand told Ruby what moves and type advantages she should consider using during her battle, based on what he saw in Hyde's battle. Even Ragna gave some Ruby notes on what he saw during the battle. Being the one who has the most fighting experience, human or not, living things move and act a certain way when in a fight.

Everyone contributed and thought of ideas and strategies Ruby could use during the battle with the Gym leader. After a while Hyde got his pokemon back and he put them back in their pokeballs and back in his bag.

The group made their way back to the Gym with Hyde's team being healed now with it being Ruby's turn. Ruby could barely contain her excitement. She entered the battle arena and introduced herself While Ace did the same before the battle began.

The battle was quick to say the least. Ruby took notes and the info from the other's to come up with a battle strategy that worked wonders.

As soon as the match began Ruby through Jade and had it use string shot to tie up Patrat on its ankles and tail to keep it from moving. She then had it use bug bite (not to mention it's ability Swarm) until Patrat was unable to battle.

Ruby had Jade switch with Sapphire when Porygon came out. Ruby had an actually ingenious plan on how to fight Porygon. Anytime Porygon got close to Sapphire she would use teleport to move behind it then hit Porygon with Disarming voice, rinse and repeat.Even with Porygons move, Agility it couldn't get close to Sapphire.

Ruby had control of the whole battle.

As the group was walking back to the Pokemon center as the sun began to set at the coast line. Ruby and Hyde looked at their badges holding them at the sun with a smile on their faces.

"Ruby made that fight look easy." Yu said in his usual blunt way.

This caused the two younger teens to almost comically (and anima like) fall to the ground. Bothe caught off guard at what they had just heard from the older teen.

Ragna only nodded in agreement. "No kidding that fight didn't last as long as I thought it would." Ragna said as they continued to walk.

"Well I did have help from you guys but I bet if it was the other way around Hyde would have done the same thing." Ruby said as she punched Hyde on the shoulder as it caused him to just simple chuckle.

"True, but I wonder. If Ruby hadn't watched or us giving her any tips. Who do think could have beaten the gym leader first." Yu said with his hand on his chin.

"Well I would have been faster. What? No you wouldn't." Both teens said in unison.

Even though this merry group where all friends. There are going to be times of in fighting amongst the group. This was one such occasion.

Ragna could tell the tension was building. From Hyde's and Ruby's stubborn nature. This allowed Ragna to come up with an idea, one he has been wondering for a while now.

"Look before you two start arguing how about settle it another way." Ragna told the two teens. This caused both to stop and ask, "What?" To their oldest member.

"Instead of arguing about it how about you two just battle and see who is the strongest." Ragna told the two.

Hyde and Ruby nodded at Ragna then at each other before they walked into the Pokemon center. While waiting for Ruby's team to be healed Hyde and Yu walked out to the practice arena in the back of the Pokemon center while Ragna and Ruby waited inside.

"What are you planning to do against him, kid?" Ragna asked Ruby while standing against the wall.

"I don't know. Dew is going to be a challenge do to stun spore. I'll figure it out as the battle goes." Ruby told Ragna as nurse Joy handed back her pokemon.

The two walked out to the back of the Pokemon center. Hyde was already waiting on the other side, a pokeball in his hand while Yu was on the sideline acting as a referee for the battle.

Ragna patted Ruby on the back saying "good luck" before making his way towards Yu. "Five bucks on Hyde." Yu said to Ragna.

Ragna looked at the gray haired teen with a bland look "five on Ruby" Ragna said.

Yu cleared his throat and focused himself back at the arena. "This will be a one on one battle. Both of you are allowed to use your whole team.Since it's pretty late you'll have a timer of five minutes,The first to lose their team or has the least amount of Pokemon is the loser." Yu said as he took a step back from the arena.

RWBY: Red Like Roses Part 2

Ruby pulled a pokeball out from her back pack. Staring at Hyde, while he did the same. "I hope you're ready Hyde. Because we're not holding back!" Ruby said, pointing her pokeball at the teen.

Hyde smirked and spun his pokeball on his finger "Right back at you Ruby. Now are you ready?" Hyde caught his pokeball from the air as he began to bring his arm back to throw it as Ruby did the same.

"Go Sapphire!" "Let's go Dew!" They both yelled. Throwing their pokeballs as they collided with each other as they pokemon flew past each other, landing on opposite sides of the arena.

"Dew, Worry Seed!" "Teleport" Dew launched a seed but it was in vain as Sapphire teleported behind Dew.

"Stun spore burst!" Dew made a mini explosion around itself. Sapphire or Ruby didn't expect it and got caught in the explosion of yellow powder.

"Sapphire!" Ruby yelled concerned for her partner. Sapphire jumped back out of the dust holding her hand to her mouth.

A light so break through the yellow cloud. Ruby knew what Dew was doing.

"Sapphire, Disarming Voice!" Sapphire unleashed an ear piercing screech enough to have the stun powder blown away and to stop Dew from gaining more energy.

"Worry Seed!" Hyde yelled but was in vain as Dew's paralysis kicked in stopping her. Ruby took this opportunity to use Confusion.

It directly hit Dew, for her back a couple of feet. (Crap, this isn't good. I need to make sure Dew survives until she can change Sapphires ability.) Hyde thought as he grabbed Ral's pokeball from his bag.

Dew was son brought Dew back and switched out with Ral. "Ral, Shadow Sneak!" As soon as Ral popped out of its pokeball it's shadow automatically changed at Sapphire, to fast for both it and its trainer to react in time.

Ral's shadow launched out and striking Sapphire strong enough to knock her down before her ability began to take place known as "Trace" and paralyzing Ral.

Sapphire got back to its feet while Ral eyed her down ready for it's trainers next command. "Ral, Magical Leaf!" Hyde ordered, "You to Sapphire block with your own Magical Leaf!"

A barrage of rainbow colored leaves now we're flying at each other. Both Pokemon using them as a weapon and a means for defense, blocking each other by flying a leaf into their opponents.

The pokemon soon stopped, both out of breath from the amount of energy used in their attacks. "Okay, that was pretty cool." Hyde said, grinning.

Ruby smiled back at Hyde as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead. "This is starting to get fun. But I'm not done Hyde!" Ruby said as she brought back Sapphire and threw out Jade.

"Jade Razor Leaf!" Ruby order as Jade launched a barrage of leafs and slashed Ral. Before Ral could retaliate Jade wrapped Ral in a web using String Shot. As Jade rushed at Ral "Jade finish this with Bug Bite!" Ruby yelled

Jade jumped in the air diving at Ral. Hyde couldn't do anything, he couldn't do anything, both of his Pokemon were weak if either of them took a hit it would mean losing the fight.

(End Theme)

But before Jade could finish the battle Ragna blew a whistle signaling that time is up. Jade, comically fell face first in the dirt as Ral exhaled, relaxing.

Like Ral, Hyde realised a long exhale "holy crap, that was to close." Hyde said exhausted.

"Ragna couldn't you have waited ten more seconds I was about to win." Ruby said while pouting at Ragna. Ragna just rolled his eyes then pointed at Jade as tears started forming in it's eyes.

Ruby soon noticed what Ragna was pointing at. Ruby jogged over to Jade and picked her up. Hyde did the same thing to Ral. "Well head inside and get them healed now." Ruby told Ragna. Yu nodded at Ragna and followed after the other two as they conversed among each other.

Ragna was about to head after them. But before he could feel a presence watching him. He looked where it felt like it was coming from and saw a humanoid creature. It had a black body, white hair, and blue eyes. What caught Ragna's attention was the fact that it was the color black with it eyes glowing in the moonlight.

"What the hell?" Ragna said to himself, grabbing Gible's pokeball just in case. It was odd to say the least. Ragna felt like it was examining him, for whatever reason he didn't know. They eyed each other before the creature levitated in the air and flew off into the night.

Ragna relaxed and walked inside the Pokemon center. Still thinking about the creature he saw, he felt an odd connection to it. He pushed that in the back of his mind, tired from the long day of watching the two kids battle. He chuckled as he walked back to his hotel room and saw Ruby and Hyde already asleep still in their clothes. While he expected Yu to be in the shower Rgana put the blankets over them. He made sure not to wake them then relaxed on the bottom bunk.Ragna smiled as he retired for the night.

Okay I procrastinated like there was no tomorrow. It's kind of loose here and there but I'm still trying to get used to writing this much and keep it interesting. I also didn't really think it was necessary for me to write Ruby fighting the gym leader. After Hyde did so I didn't really find it necessary. Well let's see how long it takes for me to finnish the next one.Later.
