Chapter 21. A Pokémon Battle?!.
The next morning YunYun, Asia and I went to school, the small fox did end up really being Kunou, the princess of Kyoto and daughter of Yasaka.
Serafall recognized her immediately even when she was in her fox form, so we took her to one of the empty rooms in our home and healed her from any type of injury she might have.
She was also exhausted and magically drained so she stayed unconscious through out the night, I though about giving her a gel but Serafall explained that since she was young it was best to let her recover on her own.
That way her magical core wouldn't be too stressed and would naturally adapt, after making sure she was alright we all went to sleep hoping she would be awake the next morning.
She wasn't and seeing that she might stay like that for a few more hours we decided to go ahead with our day, Serafall however decided to stay home to keep an eye on her.
Ninetails also decided to stay with Kunou, I think the little kitsune awoke some sort of motherly instinct on my Ice and Fairy type Pokemon since she cuddle up to her in the bed and refused to moved afterwards.
Truth be told it was a very adorable sight to see, in any case without her being awake to tell us what was going we couldn't do anything so while YunYun, Asia and I went to school, Sakuya and Wiz went to open the shop.
However I was a bit perplexed about this entire situation, as far as I know, in the anime Kyoto is attacked by the Khaos brigade way later but it was obvious that somehow had changed, Kunou was very injured and the fact that she was magically drained meant that she had been fighting for quite awhile.
More than likely, the Hero faction was attacking Kyoto and somehow Kunou was able to somehow arrived in Kuoh, Serafall told me that she had told her friend Yasaka that if she ever needed help then she could teleport to Kuoh and ask for her.
That's obviously what Kunou was doing here but until she woke up we won't know exactly what's going so we're going to wait and then decide what to do when she wakes up, for now we have school and work to take care off.
Today Mimikyu decided to go with Asia to school and Asia carried her around like a stuffed animal, it was quite funny how Mimikyu would swipe a Shadow Claw to any guy that tried to get close to Asia.
That included the Perverted trio who would often try to speak with Asia but since my Pokemon liked going to school with her, they didn't let them get anywhere close to her.
Of course only the small Pokemon we're allowed to go with her, Rayquaza tried ocne but we had to tell him that he was too big, he ended up sulking the entire day, it was quite the sight to see a Legendary Pokemon pout and sulk because it couldn't go with Asia to school, our classmates were definitely enjoying the Pokemon hanging out in our classroom so that was a cool plus.
That morning went by peacefully, up until lunch time, me and the girls were getting our lunches out to go and eat at our usual place, where Rika more than certainly is already waiting for us, when our class suddenly began to become noisy.
It didn't take us long to find out why, we all turned towards the door way and right there stood Akeno, of course her presence would cause such uproar, like in the show she was quite popular among both the boys and girls of Kuoh academy.
But she had never come to this class before, at first I thought she was here for Issei but the pervert looked verynconfused himself, so I think she came here to speak with me.
This suspicion proved to be true when Akeno looked around and stopped when she saw me and immediately began to approach me.
I tiredly sighed, Akeno quite honestly is a mess and I'm not speaking about her daddy issues either, that sadist side of her is quite disturbing to me, some men might find it sexy or hot but to me? it was annoying.
There's no way I would allow someone to cause me pain for their pleasure, that whole sadist thing never made sense to me but to each their own.
Personally, I honestly didn't want anything to do with with this girl and now she was coming to speak to me.
As soon as she walked up to me "Ara, I'm sorry for interrupting your lunch Mr Hayashi but the president of the Occult Research Club would like to speak with you, would you accept our invitation to eat lunch at our club building?".
I stared at her for a long minute "sorry but whatever your president wants to speak about I'm not interested, if you'll excuse me my sister is waiting for us to eat our lunch together".
Me and the girls stepped around her to go out the classroom room but Akeno grabbed my arm and pulled me back "Ara, don't be like that it will only take a second and I promise that I'll be fun".
She said that seductively but I'm not one to be swayed by this sort of thing, however before I could say anything or do anything YunYun grabbed hold of Akeno's arm, the one she used to grab me with and let out a burst of holy energy causing Akeno to let go of me and grunt in pain "don't touch Rean like that...".
As Akeno grabbed hold of her smoking and slightly charred arm I stared at YunYun in disbelieve, I don't think I've ever seen her this mad before, in fact everyone in class looked on in shock.
YunYun then grabbed my hand and quickly pulled me out the classroom with Asia following us close behind still holding Mimikyu in her arms.
Meanwhile Issei walked up to Akeno "are you okay Akeno? I don't know what that was but I felt a horrible tingle go up my spine...".
Akeno smiled at her fellow peerage member and nodded "I'm fine Isse, it was my fault anyways... I should know better than to act like that to someone else's boyfriend".
Issei nodded "yeah... everyone knows how protective YunYun is with Rean but to think she would get this mad".
Akeno giggled and then seductively licked her lips "fufufu, it's quite adorable..".
Issei sweatdropped watching Akeno be weird but he was already getting used to her acting this way so he didn't say anything about it.
Meanwhile after a bit of time passed by, me and the girls were already enjoying our lunch while Rika was laughing "hahaha I can't believe YunYun did that to one of the queens of Kuoh academy! good job YunYun!".
YunYun huffed "no one touches Rean like that but me Wiz, Serafall, Sakuya and Asia!".
Asia jumped in surprise at the mention of her name "m-me too!? b-but... if Rean wants too I wouldn't mind..".
We all turned toward Asia who was blushing crimson red, YunYun smiled and looked proud for some reason while Rika and I just sweatdropped, Rika then leaned in towards me and whispered "just how do you do it Rean? this is getting a bit ridiculous don't you think?..".
I once again sweatdropped but couldn't really denied what my sister said "I-I honestly don't know Rika...".
My sister giggled, more than likely she found the face I was making funny or something, after a while Rika stopped giggling and spoke up "what do you think Rias wants with you Rean?".
I closed my eyes and drank some of my water and then answered my sister's questions "more than likely she wants my help with her whole arranged marriage thing, otherwise she wouldn't have approached me like this".
Rika hummed and nodded "that makes sense but why send Akeno? she could have told Issei to ask you or someone else right?".
YunYun huffed not liking that Akeno was mentioned "well everyone knows that Rean doesn't get along with Issei and his friends, Rean definitely doesn't like Kiba either so she ended up sending Akeno".
Asia then spoke up next while sharing her lunch with Mimikyu who would use her Shadow Claw to grab the food"didn't she have another servant? I think Sera said something about a cat? well I think that what she said".
I nodded to Asia "that would be Koneko Toujou, the so called mascot of Kuoh, you seen her around, she's that very small white haired girl that's always eating candy, she's a first year like Rika, more than likely she herself didn't want to go to my class, she's well known for hating perverts and since we have the three biggest ones in our class she probably refused to even come close to them".
Rika nodded "oh yeah~ she's in my class! she's always intensely staring at me whenever I eat a pastry from Wiz's shop during class".
We all deadpan at Rika who began to nervously sweat "you really shouldn't be eating sweets and pastries in class Rika...".
Rika groaned "but they're so delicious! I can't wait for lunch to eat them, it's impossible!".
Everyone smiled since it was true after all, it is very hard to wait to eat one of Wiz's sweets or pastries and Rika having quite the sweet tooth works against her all the time.
Meanwhile Rias was helping Akeno heal her injured arm as she was explaining what had happened "sign... damn it Akeno why did you do that?".
Akeno just giggled "I don't really know, I just... the way Rean rejected me like that, made all hot and bothered and I wanted to get a reaction out him, I just didn't expect his girlfriend to hit me with holy light".
Rias huffed while Issei was jealous about Rean's Popularity, Kiba frowned and Koneko just continue to eat her candy "I told you to becareful, it's obvious that his girlfriend isn't normal and the same goes with that new girl that transferred here, Sona told us that she was enrolled by Serafall herself".
Kiba then spoke "I'm more concerned about the fact that YunYun girl can use holy light like that".
Everyone in the Occult Research Club nodded, that detail was very concerning to them since only a few people are able to use such element and most of them hate devils, Koneko then looked up from her snacks and spoke "YunYun smells a lot like mana...".
Akeno and Rias hummed until Rias spoke up "a Mage? how come we haven't sense any mana from her then?".
Koneko shrugged "I don't know... Rean used to smell like a dragon but now he doesn't... YunYun smells like mana... but I can't sense anything on her either...".
Everyone frowned, this whole thing was so confusing to them and nothing made sense, Issei then spoke up "now that you mentioned it... those three are always doing something strange but no one really questions it even Asia is weird, she's always bringing some kind of weird animal with her".
Rias suddenly shook her head "well it doesn't matter, looks like I'm going to have to personally speak to Rean after school, I need all the help I can get...".
All of Rias's peerage looked down, they wanted to help Rias with her problem but they know they're aren't strong enough to help her yet, it seems that Rean was the only option they have right now, otherwise they'll have to just train as hard as they can and hope it'll be enough.
The rest of the school day passed by without any issues and afterwards me and the girls went to go visit the Kendo club, since they have become close friends and good customers of Wiz's shop we would go and hang out with them for a while, today we wanted to let them know that the shop was going to close early, since we all wanted to go home and keep an eye on Kunou.
However along the way we were stopped by Rias and her peerage, I sighed tiredly knowing what was about to come next, the devils of course noticed and winced knowing I was already annoyed with them "well, what do you guys want?".
Rias frowned "I would like to speak with you in private, would you please follow us to the Occult Research Club?".
YunYun, Rika and Asia frowned, I however just huffed and turn my head towards Rika "Rika could you go and let Murayama and Katase know about the shop?".
Rika nodded and promptly left to speak with the Kendo club, I then turned to speak with Rias "I already told your Queen that I wasn't interested, what part of that didn't make sense?".
Rias and her peerage sweatdropped because they couldn't refute Rean's words but Rias opted to continue to speak "but you don't even know what I want to ask yo-".
However I cut her off "Serafall already told me about you arranged marriage with Riser Phenex and your reluctance to actually marry him, can't say I blame you though Serafall had quite a few colorful words for him but you see, I don't see how that's any of my business".
The devils looked down because they knew Rean was correct, he had nothing to do with this and Rias wanted to drag him into her problems, however Issei didn't like Rean's attitude towards his King "hey! Miss president needs help! everyone in school keeps talking how strong you are and you are even strong enough to beat Kiba! your strong, stronger than me! why won't you help us!".
Rias turned towards Issei and stared in disbelieve upon hearing his words, Kiba's eyes twitch, he must have not liked being reminded of his defeat in my hands.
I however wasn't amused, first of all I didn't personally know these guy, other than what I know about then in the anime, personally they weren't my friends and I didn't want anything to do with them.
But Issei's words did annoy me "sigh... just because I'm strong I should help Rias?... just because you have power, it doesn't mean you have to go around helping strangers, I have nothing to do with the devils and I certainly don't know Rias personally, I have no power to help people I don't know, if you want to do that, that's fine but don't expect others to drop what they're doing to help a stranger, don't be naive".
Issei growled "you would ignore someone who needs help when you have the power to do something about it?".
I shrugged "depends on the situation, in this case I just don't want to get involved with the devils, you still haven't seen how most of them really are but eventually you will besides, I'm not a superhero or anything like that, I have no reason to help just anyone, I only care about my family and friends".
Issei was about to say something else but Rias pulled him back and he shut up right away, Rias then spoke up "look, I know I'm asking for a lot but I don't have many options, please help us train".
I shook my head "sorry but this really isn't my problem, besides I have other things to do".
Rias frowned and looked down while Issei glared at me but I just ignored them and turned around to leave the moment I saw Rika come back, it might seem mean and even cruel but this really doesn't concern me, like I said before I'm not a hero, I'm dragon that just wants go protect his treasure, my girlfriends, family and however wasn't done and suddenly spoke up "then how about a bet? a match between you, me and my peerage?".
I stopped and turned to look towards her, however a quest notification suddenly appeared and I stopped time to take a look.

Reward 5: Skill: Protagonist's Growth.]
* hmm that's a lot skills, I guess fighting the main cast does give you the best rewards, I noticed this when I beat Kiba and Killed the fallen angels but this proves it*.
I stared at the screen for a few seconds longer, I was going to ignore Rias and just go home, we do have Kunou to worry about, but these rewards are good and Pokemon Tokens have become very rare to obtain in Instant Dungeons so gaining more is always a good thing plus more skills is always good both for me and the girls.
So I'll play along with Rias's little bet and besides I have a great idea, mentally I restart time and began to speak "do you really think you and your peerage can beat me? I already defeated Kiba, what else can the rest of your peerage do?".
It was true, none of them have seriously trained and I checked with Serafall who told me that Rias was very lazy when it came to training her peerage, maybe my words will make them want to better themselves, they're going to need it after all.
Rias and her peerage frowned, not only because they didn't like what Rean said but because he was also right, Kiba lost so easily against Rean and they know that Rean was holding back.
I huffed when I saw them not say anything in return to my words "fine.. I'll tell you what, I'll let you fight against my familiars in a one on one match against your peerage, if you can beat any of them I'll help you but if they beat your servant then you'll leave me alone".
Rias looked up to me and seemed very hopeful, more than likely she's comparing my familiars to the ones of this world, to bad mine are Pokemon, beings with incredible strength and power, my friends themselves are way different from other Pokemon too so no there's no chance of any of them being defeated by her or her peerage.
They have no limits to their growth and powers plus because of the Gamer System recognizes them as my familiars they get a boosts of power as I myself grow in strength.
They're not going to win but hopefully seeing that they can't even beat my Pokemon will make them understand that they're not even close to my level of power, maybe they'll leave me alone but I'm not going to hold my breath though.
Rias then cheerfully nodded "okay! that sounds good Rean, thank you for this chance".
I shook my head "don't thank me, I don't think your peerage will be able to defeat my familiars, Do you have somewhere where we can have this match in peace?".
Rias frowned when I told her that her and her peerage won't be able to defeat my Pokemon but she didn't say anything about it and just nodded "yes behind the Occult Research Club building there's an big open space we use to work out once in a while".
I nodded and turned to look at YunYun, Asia and Rika who nodded back at me and gave me a smile, I then turned towards Rias "alright then, lead the way".
Rias nodded and she turned around to guide me and the girls toward where I'll be having a match with Rias and her peerage.
After a few moments Rias and her peerage took us behind the Occult Research Club building were there was a big open space surrounded by trees, I was honestly surprised because it was pretty big and no one seemed to have noticed it, maybe they have it warded or something.
In any case we all got into our positions me, in one side and Rias and her peerage in the other, suddenly Sona and her peerage appeared, she frowned at me but I just ignored her.
She then turned towards Rias and shook her head "what are you doing Rias, you know my sister isn't going to like this, are you sure want to do this?".
Of course Serafall isn't going to like it but we knew that one of these two would do some stupid at some point, they are young and still have a lot to learn after all plus me and Serafall can understand why Rias is so desperate.
Do we like it? no but we're not going to make a big deal out of it just this one time and besides this isn't a waste of time for me and my Pokemon, in fact some of my Pokemon get to stretch and have some fun so it's all worth it in the end.
Rias nodded at Sona "yes, I have to do this Sona, you know that I don't have any more time so I have to do anything I can".
Sona sighed but nodded in understanding "very well... I'll try to speak with my sister and explain hopefully she'll listen to me though I'm not sure she will".
"you don't have to worry about Serafall, me and her knew that Rias was going to get desperate at some point so we were expecting her to ask me for help, or you would have try to help Rias by asking me whichever of those two, the challenge is a surprise though but why not? let's see if she's able to gain the help she wants but in the end you don't have to worry about Serafall, she decided to forgive this, just this once because of your situation Rias, don't waste it".
Both Rias and Sona stared at me in surprise, knowing that me and Serafall were expecting them to do somthing stupid must have hit their pride but they can't really say anything to defend themselves.
I sighed and then took a big breath "alright this is going to be a one on one match between Rias Gremory and her peerage against me and my familiars if at some point one of your servants defeats one of my familiars then I'll help you but if my familiars defeat all of you, you will leave me alone and no longer approach me and my loved ones, do you accept this conditions?".
Rias stared into my eyes for a few seconds, while YunYun, Asia and Rika went to sit beneath a tree so they could watch the match, something Sona and her peerage did too but away from them.
Rias the narrowed her eyes and nodded to herself "yes I accept this conditions".
I nodded "alright then, I'll make sure to let Serafall know this so she can inform your parents, if at any point you go back in your words then Serafall and I will show you no mercy, do I make myself clear on this?".
Rias gulped but nodded while her peerage looked concerned, I once again nodded "okay then who are you going to send first?".
Rias was about to think about who to send out to fight first but Koneko stepped up "I'll go first... I want to help miss president.. as much as I can".
Rias smiled at her Rook and nodded "thank you Koneko, I'm counting on you".
Koneko nodded and then walked up to the center of the big open space, she stopped in the middle and stared at me with her big yellow eyes and then nodded at me.
I smiled at her and nodded back "good luck, Come! Snorlax!".
Snorlax appeared in a flash of white, he was asleep but immediately woke up as he sensed the tense atmosphere around the area and then stood up, he then turned towards me and I smiled at him "sorry to wake you Snorlax but we're having a battle, want to give me a hand?".
Snorlax smiled and then gave me a thumbs up making me chuckled, the devils however looked confused and a bit shock towards Snorlax, Koneko just got ready and Snorlax turned towards her and got ready.
Suddenly Koneko launched herself to punch Snorlax in his big belly and Snorlax just let her do it, the moment she hit him, she bounced off his belly and was sent flying back until she crashed against the floor and bounce once, she was then able to recover and land on her feet before she could hit the ground again.
Koneko looked up in disbelieve towards Snorlax who just yawned and scratched his belly, I stared at Koneko *what are you going to do now that your only means of attacking proved to be useless?*.
Koneko frowned but then she punched the ground hard and suddenly lifted a big chunk of earth and stone, I chuckled knowing that she was planning to throw that at Snorlax "Snorlax, use Earthquake".
Snorlax immediately stomped on the ground so hard that the ground cracked and began to shake aggressively, Koneko took damage and lost her balance causing her to fall on the ground and for the big chunk of earth that she was lifting to drop on top of her.
The devils gaped and held on to the ground for dear life, while the YunYun and Asia held onto Rika, the ground stopped shaking after a while and Snorlax waited to see if Koneko was down for the count.
Koneko dug herself out the pile of ground and stone, she then huffed in annoyance "okay... so not throwing heavy things around... that attack hurt too".
Koneko then looked up to Snorlax and frowned trying to think of a way to bring him down, suddenly she stared at his head and got an idea.I smiled noticing Koneko stared at Snorlax head *it's a good idea but it won't work with my Snorlax, he isn't normal after all but good job noticing a weakness*.
Koneko nodded to herself and then shot off as fast as she could and then jump high into air where she then kicked towards Snorlax's head, I just smiled "use Iron Head!".
A loud clang echoed throughout the open space as Koneko growled in pain while Snorlax then pushed forward and broke through her kick headbutting Koneko on her stomach with his iron hard head, causing her to grunt and fly back through the air until she crashed on the ground and rolled for a few seconds until she stopped "ouch...".
Yeah she definitely felt that, Snorlax stared at Koneko but didn't do anything else and waited for her to get up, it seems like Koneko earned Snorlax's respect and he wanted to see what she'll do next.
Koneko stood up and even though she looked hurt she still seemed ready for more, that Rook boost is certainly impressive, I nodded to her "your a tough little one that's for sure so Snorlax is going to stop holding back now, we can't afford to be here all day after all".
Koneko nodded it seems like she knew that Snorlax wasn't being serious with her yet but she's still willing to keep fighting, Snorlax nodded and I got ready "Snorlax Hyper Voice!".
Snorlax took a big breath and then let out a loud shrill voice that hit Koneko and the devils full force causing the all them to scream and hold their ears in pain, YunYun made sure to used magic to protect Asia's and Rika's eardrums while I wasn't effected by it "Snorlax use Belly Drum! and then use Body Slam!".
Snorlax then immediately drummed his belly rhythmically raising his attack to the max and then jumped high into the air right on above of Koneko who was still hurting too much from Snorlax's Hyper Voice to even think about of moving out of the way.
Until Snorlax body slammed on top of her hard enough to make the ground shake "now use Rollout but don't move from there!".
Snorlax immediately rolled into a ball and then began to spin right on top of Koneko and slowly began picking up speed.
Snorlax rolled faster and faster until Koneko finally shoot out from underneath Snorlax and flew through the air in high speed until she crashed into a tree and broke it apart.
Lucky the crash was enough to slow her down and make her crash against the ground behind the tree her collision just destroyed, where she layed there unmoving.
Snorlax stopped rolling and then stood up to watch Koneko intently, my guess is that he was expecting her to get up again but I knew she wouldn't, my Pokemon were stronger than anything in this world so unless I say so they hold back on their attacks in order not to kill unnecessarily, it's an inherent skill in all Pokemon, that's why there's no death in Pokemon Battles in the Pokemon world well rarely, accidents do happen after all.
Of course any Pokemon can choose not to use that skill and go for the kill but my Pokemon don't do it unless it's necessary, it's how me and the girls are able to battle against them to train, but in this case it wouldn't matter if they kill anyone on accident since I can just resurrect them.
I watched as Snorlax walked up to Koneko and poked her in the belly a few times, seeing that she's unconscious he then gently picked her up and took her to me, the devils nervously watched on but not one dare to move to stop this powerful creature.
Once he reached me I smiled at him when he pointed at the heavily injured Koneko in his arms "you want me to heal her?".
Snorlax smiled and nodded, causing me to chuckle and nod "I see, she must have impressed you quite a bit huh?".
Snorlax just kept smiling and I pointed an open hand towards Koneko "Gather light of life, impart us with your healing glow, Cure!".
Koneko was suddenly engulfed in blue light and all her wounds were almost instantly healed and I even restored her damaged clothes "there she should be fine now, she just needs some rest".
Snorlax nodded and the walked up to where YunYun, Asia and Rika were sitting with Koneko still in his arms, he then stopped right besides the girls who smiled at him and then dropped down back first and immediately fell asleep with Koneko sleeping on his belly.
I chuckled and shook my head in amusement, Snorlax likes children and at times he's more than happy to play or let children play on his belly so since Koneko is so small he must have thought she was a young child.
The devils stared in confusion and worry towards Snorlax and Koneko who were sleeping peacefully, I decided to alleviate their worries "it's alright, Snorlax is just making sure Koneko is alright and resting comfortably, you don't have to worry".
The devils seemed to relax and Rias nodded at me, I just sighed and nodded at her "so since Koneko is down for the count sent the next opponent".
Rias then turned towards Kiba who nodded and stepped forward, I tiredly rubbed my eyes because he's someone I never wanted to deal with again, of course he had to open his mouth as soon as he walked up to the middle of the open field "I would have preferred to have another match with you but I'm willing to do this for my King".
I just shrugged "you don't look any stronger than that time so I would worry about beating my familiar first before you even think about even facing me".
Kiba frowned but didn't say anything, I'm not sure where he gets that cocky attitude but I've seen it before in the anime, it's the same attitude he had during the Excalibur Arc where he even challenged Xenovia and Irina in a fight thinking he would be able to win and destroy the blades, where did he even get the idea that he was strong enough to destroy a blade like Excalibur?.
Kiba then created a simple steel sword and got ready, does he really think that he will win with just that? I closed my eyes and called out my next Pokemon "Come! Greninja!".
The Dark and Water type Pokemon appeared in front of me in a flash of white light, he stood up proudly with his arms crossed over his chest and stared into Kiba's eyes.
Kiba then suddenly disappeared in a blur and appeared right in front of Greninja who reacted right away and used Low Kick, hitting Kiba on a leg which caused him to trip at high speed and bounced along the ground a couple of time.
*As I thought, he over relies on his speed but all my Pokemon are used to fight high speed moving enemies so a simple tactic like this wouldn't work on them*.
Before Kiba could even begin to get up I began to plan our next moves "Greninja use Smokescreen and then use Spikes".
Greninja nodded and immediately released a thick black smoke that covered almost the entire area, he then proceeded to release spikes all over the got up and growled in shame at having been taken down by a simple kick, he had promised himself to not never underestimate an opponent after Rean had beaten him so easily but it seems he had done it again, his teacher would be very disappointed in him if he knew about this.
Kiba then looked around and noticed the thick dark smoke that didn't let him see where his opponent was, he began to get nervous as he was expecting a sneak attack so he quickly summoned his wind sword, Replenish Calm and blew the smoke away.
Only to stared in surprise as his opponent just stood where he had been all this time, the creature just continued to stared into his eyes as if he was telling him to show him what he would do next.
This made Kiba very cautious since he couldn't see anything wrong in the area but something inside his heart was telling him to becareful, for some reason as Kiba stared into the red eyes of this powerful creature in front of him he knew that this battle was going to be a very difficult one.
But as a faithful knight he would fight on, especially for the freedom of his King.
