Chapter 139 - Chapter 131: Tatsumaki's Nemesis

After leaving team rocket with their thing, everyone started travelling to the next place. Deciding to give Tifa a go at a contest for coordinators at Jubilife city. Registering Tifa for a contest pass, she was a participant from sandgem town.

"Hmm, I'm quite excited for these little guys." Tifa hugged her budew and azurill. "Have you thought of how to use their moves?" Ramiel asked her because the first matches is different from the league battles.

"Eh, we'll just wing it. I'm sure they'll win, they're cute after all." Tifa rubbed her face on them and her pokemon gave a pleased chirp. "Yeah, they're cuddly. But your budew probably can't be handled by normal people. Its pollens right now can cause rapid paralysis like neurotoxins due to everything you're feeding it." Tatsumaki pointed out.

"It can control it, don't worry." Tifa waved it off and they were approached by a spirited young girl. "Hello, your pokemon are really cute." She smiled at them and the two greeted her with their stubby limbs.

"Why hello, thank you. I take good care of them after all." Tifa smiled at the kid. "I'm Dawn, I will be seeing you in the matches!" She was determined to win.

"She definitely won't win nee-san, Tifa looks like she's a relaxed person. But she's a perfectionist, her pokemon probably already have some amazing moves or something." Fubuki whispered to her sister and they felt bad for the kid with dreams of being a coordinator.

"Yeah, see you in the second round. I think your piplup is cute too. Though ours is cuter." Tifa chuckled and Fubuki showed her piplup that had a shiny coat. Looking all majestic even though it had a cute voice.

"Woah... Your piplup looks so nice." Dawn was mesmerized and her piplup sulked, pecking her. "Ow, what? I was just saying, look at em. It's so calm and collected, unlike you that has a temper." Dawn argued with her piplup.

"Well Dawn, good luck. You're gonna need it." Ramiel patted her head and they went on to the waiting area.

After some time, the contest was starting and the first one that would compete was Tifa. "Budew, let's go." She threw her PokeBall in the sky that was modified with Mako.

Vibrant green leaves and rose petals dropped from the sky and the crowd were mesmerized.

Tifa's cute little budew then did a back flip while landing. "See, she taught that little guy with stubby little legs how to backflip." Tatsumaki smiled wryly.

"Budew!" Tifa's pokemon then used sunny day. Though it was much different, Tifa taught it how to refract light and it produced a rainbow.

"A rainbow! Competitor Tifa made a rainbow using budew's sunny day!" The emcee announced and the crowd went wild.

"People are really easily entertained in this place." Fubuki chuckled.

Tifa had a grin on her face, successful with getting the crowd's attention. She then started an elaborate dance with her budew.

It used double team and released beautiful golden spores that made the whole stage glitter. With a little sprinkling of hallucinogens that made the crowd dazed.

Thinking that they were having a nice and beautiful dream.

"That Tifa, she's drugging them with the spores. But it's so subtle that no one can notice it." Ramiel sighed and shook his head.

"Heh." Tifa let out a little snicker and looked at the judges who were all quietly grading the performance.

She then exited the stage with a flip of her hair, making the crowd go wild.

"Tifa-sama! Please marry me!" Men and women at the peanut gallery shouted.

"She sure is popular." Fubuki smiled wryly at her clearly unfair tactics.

Next was a young woman with orange hair. She threw her PokeBall in the air and it was like a smokebomb.

"Misdreavus, use double team." She ordered and the ghost Pokemon mysteriously showed its silhouette inside the cloud of smoke.

"Hmmm, she's pretty good. I think she'll win this competition if Tifa isn't here. Her budew and azurill probably have nasty moves." Tatsumaki looked at Tifa's cute azurill and budew.

They were leaking Mako from the amount of lifestream the two were drinking. It was absurd how they weren't evolving yet.

"By the way, are you preventing budew from evolving?" Fubuki was curious about it too.

"Yeah, they're much cuter like this. Aren't you?" Tifa rubbed her face on them. "Though azurill is still a cutie when it evolves so I will let it, it just wants to be pampered for now."

The young woman then barked orders, the little ghost Pokemon she had dispersed the smoke with a confuse ray.

"Misdreavus, wow them with a shock wave!" The little bite sized ghost Pokemon concentrated and released electricity from its body. Showing off its strength.

"It's pretty strong too, she isn't a newbie in this. Though her orders and strategy lacks style." Ramiel observed, it wasn't cool enough nor elegant enough in his eyes.

"Well, you've trained people like Alexandra, and the other SOLDIER 1st class. Of course it would look bland in your point of view." Tifa chuckled.

"I guess so, let's just see what your little friend does with her piplup." Ramiel looked at the next competitor and it was dawn.

Her entrance was with a seal of fireworks in the shape of hearts. Her piplup then used peck, though it elongated its beak and went in on its clones that it created with double team.

And while in the air, her piplup spun in the air while using bubble beam. The bubbles exploding at the edge as they popped, creating blue glitters of energy.

"Honestly, hers is more well thought out than the girl earlier. Even though it's simple, it didn't rely on powerful moves to make a spectacle." Ramiel nodded at Dawn's technique.

"You know the people here, they like spectacles and powerful moves more than grace. Except probably Tifa's performance. Tch, her tits are too powerful. It's definitely a destructive weapon." Tatsumaki glared at Tifa's chest.

Fubuki whacked her on the head and smiled wryly at Tifa. "She doesn't know what she's talking about Tifa. Come on nee-san, apologize. She didn't flaunt it like a little whore you know?" Fubuki glared at Tatsumaki.

Tatsumaki then grumbled and they watched the next competitors doing a talent show with their pokemon.

"Everybody, it's time for the next round of the contest! Here, you will also prove the strength of your pokemon. Please look at the screen and see who you'll be fighting against!" The emcee announced and the competitors gulped while staring at the screen.

After a little bit of suspense, the screen showed the ones who will battle and Dawn was frowned upon by lady luck. Because her opponent is Tifa.

"Awww, I wanted her to go to the finals at least. Poor kid, better luck next time I guess." Tifa felt bad for her, but Dawn went up to them still with a smile on her face.

"Good luck to you Tifa! I know you're strong, but let's have a good match." Dawn bowed and ran away.

"What an energetic kid, I hope she doesn't encounter a Beedrill nest or something." Fubuki was pleased with her attitude.

"Hey, you're raising a death flag." Ramiel chopped her on the head and she rubbed her head with teary eyes.

"Sorry. That was a bad idea huh? I guess I'll just give her a little something." Fubuki pointed her finger at Dawn and a stealthy barrier that can block a few hyperbeams from Ray got attached to her.

"Okay everyone, wish me luck." Tifa's turn went up and Ramiel gave her a good luck kiss on the forehead.

"Damn, that kid's going to get bodied." Tatsumaki saw Tifa look really motivated to win now.

"Rest in peace, piplup. You will be remembered." Fubuki prayed for Dawn's piplup.

"Ohhh! Next match would be Dawn, the upstart with her first contest! And competitor Tifa, the diva!" The emcee hyped up the crowd.

"Tifa the diva? What the hell's with that?" Ramiel winced at her new nickname.

"I guess they really like cringe nicknames?" Tatsumaki winced at it too and the crowd went wild when Tifa entered the stage.

"Piplup, we'll win this!" Dawn took out her piplup and Tifa let go of budew.

"Match, start!" The emcee announced. "Budew, use solar beam and hyper beam."

Budew's buds on the top of its head separated and they charged immediately. "Tifa! Calm down!" Ramiel shouted out because budew would definitely blow up Dawn's piplup.

"Ara, I was a bit too excited. Ramiel's right, we shouldn't use those. Bullet seed it is then." Tifa smiled wryly because she was about to obliterate piplup from the face of the earth.

Dawn shivered when she saw the bright lights from budew's buds. Breaking into a cold sweat. "P-piplup, dodge it and use bubble be- ahhh!"

Budew spit out a violet colored seed from its mouth like a sniper, hitting piplup right at the forehead. One shot, one kill.

"Piplup, stand up!" Dawn shouted out, but the screen in the arena where it shows the probable health of the pokemon quickly got drained. The bullet seed was coated with some poison after all.

Piplup twitched on the ground and budew spitted some azure liquid from its mouth. An antidote for the poison, or it would quickly become spastic and die a horrible death.

"I-it seems that competitor Tifa has defeated piplup with one attack..." The emcee didn't understand what happened and neither did Dawn.

"Good work budew, you even healed it up with some antidote." Tifa patted her pokemon on the head and it raised one of its buds in pride.

"Ugh, she's too strong. Buneary, let's go!" Dawn took out her next pokemon and it was a cute bunny.

"Ohhh, that's really cute too." Tifa smiled at the sight of the buneary.

"Let's switch it up a notch then, budew. Flash, then use giga drain." Her budew glowed and then a sudden flash.

Dawn and her buneary's eyes saw white and they were flashbanged. "Ahhh, my eyes!"

"Oops, sorry about that. The sunny day from earlier made it a bit stronger." Tifa smiled wryly and budew went in for the kill. Using giga drain on buneary that was thrashing around, blinded.

Dawn's buneary then went limp and dropped on the ground like a ragdoll. "Competitor Tifa has won this match! An overwhelming victory!" The emcee announced and Dawn was of course depressed.

"Hey, don't get too sad. You'll be a great trainer, just practice 24/7." Tifa gave her a thumbs up and Dawn looked at her funny.

"You're cheating, you even blinded the trainer." Tatsumaki looked at her suspiciously. "I never used it before, I didn't know it would be that bright." Tifa shrugged and they waited for their next match.

"Finally, the finals! One of our greatest competitors, Zoey will be heading to battle with Tifa!" The emcee called on for them.

"You're strong, I will work hard to beat you." Zoey, the orange haired girl from earlier was determined.

"Good luck." Tifa smiled at her and took out her small azurill.

"Glameow, use taunt!" The cat with a spring like tail tried to taunt her azurill, but it just ignored it.

"Azurill, use surf then ice beam." The little azurill raised its hand and a tidal wave appeared. Shocking the glameow and its trainer.

"Azu...rill!" The little blue munchkin fired a blue beam in its mouth and the whole arena turned into a tundra. Freezing the glameow in an iceburg.

"T-that's ridiculous. That thing is an azurill right?" Zoey laughed dryly and looked at her glameow that had a terrified look on its face.

"O-ohh... Such destructive power! Tifa's azurill turned the environment into an icy tundra!" The emcee shouted and the crowd cheered.

"Azurill, use supersonic and break the cat out of the ice please." Azurill opened its mouth and a supersonic blast cracked the iceburg open without harming the glameow.

"T-thanks for that." Zoey didn't know what to do to get it out and they conveniently broke the ice.

"Hah, okay. Misdreavus, it's time for you to shine!" The little ghost flew around.

"Use destiny bond!" She quickly ordered, Zoey didn't know what the hell's up with Tifa's azurill, but it was ridiculously strong.

"I'm gonna lose here, sure. But I'll at least take azurill down you know." Zoey looked at Tifa, anticipating her next move.

"Ohh, that's a cute little move there. Azurill, use light screen." Azurill created walls of light and imprisoned the ghost.

Zoey's misdreavus quickly started to have a panic attack from the bright prison and didn't listen to its trainer.

"Misdreavus! Get out of there!" Zoey gritted her teeth, but her misdreavus just circled around in the small space like a headless chicken.

"Make it a bit stronger." Tifa ordered and azurill increased the light, until it was blindingly bright.

And after a few moments, azurill took it out. Making the crowd see the misdreavus that was cowering on the ground.

"Misdreavus!" Zoey ran up to it and the judge shook their heads. "Misdreavus is unable to continue."

The peanut gallery all cheered for the winner and Tifa patted her azurill. "Good work, I'll give you some nice cookies later with budew."

"I guess that's that. She probably didn't expect that azurill can use that. That misdreavus will probably not want to come out during the day from now on." Ramiel gave a smile of pity for the ghost Pokemon.

His Gengar then went out of its shadow and nodded. Wearing its shades, agreeing that the misdreavus will have PTSD about light.

"It doesn't look like it, but Tifa is really competitive. She didn't even want her azurill to lose due to destiny bond." Tatsumaki pointed out.

"Tifa's been competing since she was a kid. It's probably my fault." Ramiel gave a wry smile and they congratulated her.

"Look, I got the cute little ribbon here in jubilife." She took out her ribbon that was the prize and was happy that she wasn't the only one with a memento.

"Miss Tifa, you're really amazing. I'm sure you'll be a champion of a coordinator. Can I get your autograph?" Dawn walked up to them and thought she took care of Zoey's strong pokemon like child's play. With an azurill too.

"Well, I guess I can. Don't sell yourself short and I'll see you in the championships okay?" Tifa gave her signature and Dawn nodded at her happily.

"Hmm, are you happy?" Ramiel kissed her and she nodded. "I guess this is pretty fun? We're like tamers in an rpg or something."

She reminisced their rpg times when they were kids. They didn't have much time to play all the time because of Gast's untimely death.

"Then let's go to the next city, looks like we're coming to Eterna." Ramiel took out a map and they started their journey once again.

And of course, while camping. Their Pokemons were training. Swolechamp has amazing comprehension in martial arts and can already be called one of the best disciples of Bang.

It dedicated its whole life in fighting after all. And fighting with Danny who packs a punch was good practice.

"Gengar!" His normally stubby arms suddenly turned into guns, doing poses with Swolechamp as they compared their physiques.

"A Gengar with a muscly arm. I can't unsee it now." Tatsumaki gave a wry smile as she looked at them pose at each other.

"What'd you do to it? It's supposed to be a bit round right?" Fubuki looked at them and Danny did a vacuum and lat spread.

"Heh, they look healthy. Isn't that enough?" Ramiel had a smug grin on his face.

Meanwhile, Hafthor who saw their good physiques started doing a deadlift. Trying to outdo his personal record of 10 tons.

"Munch...lax!" He started to glow brightly and what appeared was a Snorlax who wasn't fat at all. (pic)

"As expected of Hafthor. You look fantastic." Ramiel nodded at it. Hafthor still had a healthy amount of fat on it. But it was clearly fucking buff as hell.

It was also much taller. Hafthor clocked out at 10 feet tall and three thousand pounds. Replacing its mass with pure muscle, it was three times heavier than normal snorlaxes.

"Snorlax!" It did a pose too, Danny and Swolechamp clapped at it for its amazing transformation.

"A buff snorlax, I've seen it all." Tatsumaki sighed at Ramiel's antics. It was a spectacle, people would definitely think it's a mutated species or something.

"Ohhh! That's it!" Ramiel cheered it on as it started doing curls with the bar it loaded earlier for a deadlift.

Swolechamp then oiled its body and began lifting some weights for a pump. The trio celebrating Hafthor's evolution with a posing match.

"Umu, this is clearly peak fighting pokemon. Look at them, they'll definitely beat up the gym leader in Eterna city." Ramiel nodded in satisfaction at their nice physiques.

"Just don't beat them up too bad. If I recall correctly, the gym leader in Eterna city has what? Level 20 Pokemons? They'll fucking kill them with a swat of their hands." Tatsumaki got worried for the gym leaders that his team will raid.

"Ohh, don't be too scared. They have it all in control. Because if they can't, then I'll let them go." Ramiel squinted his eyes and they quickly nodded.

They had a nice fulfilling life of becoming strong and eating good food. No pokemon will give that up.

"Alright, we'll arrive at Eterna city in the morning when we continue our journey. Let's camp here for now." Ramiel set up camp.

In the morning, when they quickly went to Eterna city, they were greeted by one of the largest city in Sinnoh.

"Ahhh, it really is true. The air around here is so crisp and fresh." Ramiel breathed in the Mako rich air.

"You sound like an old man. This place is popular with old people too." Tatsumaki quipped and he gave her a noogie.

"That's because you're a child. You don't understand the appeal of a place like this." Ramiel huffed and Tatsumaki went red in anger.

"What'd you say!?" She started quarrelling with him and the two clashed with their psionic energy.

"Hey, you... You guys look suspicious." A blonde woman dressed in black stared at them. (pic)

Tatsumaki then gasped upon seeing her. "Cynthia... My arch nemesis!" She gritted her teeth and remembered her humiliating defeat at the woman's villa.

"Shhh, nee-san. She'll misunderstand..." Fubuki chided her.

"Shut up, I won't let this opportunity pass by! Ramiel, beat her up!" Tatsumaki sicced Ramiel on her and he just raised a brow.

"Now why would I do that?" He refused immediately and Tatsumaki gritted her teeth. "Damn, if only I had a bit more time. My Abra is still a bit too weak!"

She cursed the heavens and Cynthia got even more suspicious. "You guys are probably an offshoot of team galactic aren't you?"

Cynthia squinted her eyes. "Ahhh, it seems that Tatsumaki put us in a pinch." Tifa sighed and Fubuki smacked her on the head for being too excited.
