Nacrene!



NACRENE!

Leo, Matt and Aspen walk to the museum. (Upon reading the sign outside indicating it was a gym too!) Leo excitedly walks in, Matt begged him as he follows "Brother, go to the Celestial center 1st! You're all smoky!". Leo laughs "If I can't beat a gym while injured, how'll I win the Celestial league?", Matt freaked "Goddammit Brother!", Aspen then asks "You're really sure? You could feel energetic from the new power, but your body could be seriously fucked up.". Leo replies "I could faint from the 1st Move, but I need to push myself... I have to make up for last the last fight...", scientists and visitors turn towards the friends, smelling his burned clothes... Leo finishes "I tricked the Striaton gym to win, if I can: I'm going to beat this leader with only my Normal, Electric and Fighting moves... and try not to be hit... If I faint, it's my fault...", a scientist walks up to them while he's explaining. Leo notices him, as he says "Hello, my name is Hawes. May I help you, sir?", Leo looks excited "I'm here to challenge the Nacrene gym!". Hawes looks at him "You may but... You're all "crispy"... looking...", Leo freaks "Damn... I probably should've cleaned up... It's against the rules to come challenge someone while looking like this, isn't it?". Hawes chuckled "No... but you look hurt... Are you sure you don't wanna get checked on...", Lenora interrupts "He seems fine. But I'LL ask once more, you feel ready for this?". Leo leers "I feel awesome! I only look hurt!", Lenora smiles as she gestured them to follow "Alright, come with me to the leader...". They walk to the back of the museum, she opens a secret door, then walks through a hall full of fossils "I'm the curator of the museum, and among all others, these are my favorites: They seem to hint that there were monsters, who lived on earth centuries ago... But they devolved to the animals, that we've domesticated and play with in the present.", Leo looks interested "There were real monsters? Not human/monster hybrid, like now? They didn't think like us?", she replied "No, and since they were completely monsters, their lust for food, breeding, violence, destruction, everything they wanted they did. It was much more different from what we do now... The skeletons might shed light on how we got our powers, and why it's normal for us to take monsterous shape...". They walk into a arena, Matt and Aspen sit in the bleachers... Aspen looks wonderingly "Leo's going to punish himself... I didn't know he felt that bad about that fight...", Matt replied "Brother's strict with his own self, he's exciting, and acts like a kid: but if he feels or knows he's done wrong... He injures himself, in this case he believes he should use a handicap to win, or he doesn't deserve his badges...". The fighters get ready...


The referee walks between them "The battle between Lenora and Leonard will now start, the rules are the same: Both will fight until they make the other faint, no assistance, drugs or weapons to help either side. Begin!", Lenora grows Herdier ears, muzzle and thick dark fur growing over her breast, then soft brown fur covering the rest of her. She also grows herdier claws. Leo flourishes his wings, then rushes her! She uses ShadowBall! Leo dodges, then uses Thunder shock! Lenora shakes off the weak attack "What the fuck? I thought he was a Fly type, the record showed he flew the entire time during his Striaton battle, is he holding back? It felt like he just learned that move..." she thought. Aspen looks surprised "Why did he just use Thuder Shock?", Matt answered "Brother might be trying to save power points, if anyone uses a Move too much, it'll start hurting them... Then again he only just learned Electric Type moves, that Thunder he used earlier could've been a freak fluke...". Lenora starts firing Swift! Leo blocks using CometPunch! Then tries to get distance between the them! She uses MeanLook! Lenora's eyes turn black, with yellow iris and black slits. Many eyes surround Leo as he tries to get room, Aspen freaks "What the hell!? Why does it work on him?", Matt answers "Brother normally can get away... But it depends on the person, and how they think. The move MeanLook keeps you from leaving a fight: if you're calm, or uninterested in the fight, it can't work. But if you're excited, scared or angry, you can't leave. Right now Brother's still upset about the Striaton fight, he can't get too far from her until he finishes...". Leo turns as the gym leader uses Roar, he steps back... Lenora then fires ShadowBall again! Leo uses ElectroBall to counter, then rushed to her. He fires ChargeBeam! Leonora fired HyperBeam! The explosion destroyed the floor! The dust clears revealing ConfuseRay, Leo uses Discharge to counter! Lenora glares "Alright, are you holding back? This is not what the pc said about your fighting style...", Leo replies "I'm trying to make up for what I did before ...I used tricks to beat the Striaton gym. I'm trying to win now without using my Fly type moves now to earn this badge.". Lenora leered "You need to fight as hard as you can, if you don't. You won't win beat me..." she raised her arms and grew Shadow Claws! Then charged at him! Leo uses Thunder Punch! The explosion knocks her back, Leo flings back then bounced off the wall! He uses Charge, then ChargeBeam to propel to her before she stood up. Lenora sits up to see Leo using CometPunch! She uses Retaliate to counter! They both beat eachother until she used ShadowBall, Leo uses ThunderPunch! They create a shadowy fog! "Fuck... She moves like me, how'll I?" Leo thought until he notices her silhouette, then used ForcePalm! Lenora used GigaImpact! She charged Leo, as he tried to push her back, he suddenly uses Reversal! A explosion knocks both of them back! The arena shattered from the impact! Lenora trembles, then faints... Leo's wings flap once, then slowly fold in... The referee notices his powers still activated... "Lenora fainted, Leonard is the winner.". Matt and Aspen rush to the arena as the paramedics come...


Later in the Celestial center, Leo get's up, he looks at his hands... "I won? ... ?", he hears Matt and Aspen run into the room "Brother! You're awake!", "You're okay?! Matt could hear you getting up over me, blowing in his ear!". Leo stands up "I'm fine! The celestial machine helps alot, it's like when a injury heals normally, except really fast Now!", he stands "I can fight again! And I think I earned the Striaton badge now...". Lenora walks into the room smiling warmly "You earned this too... I'm proud to present you with the: Basic Badge!". Leo takes it "Thanks! I got the Basic Badge!", Lenora replied "You must've felt really bad, I hope you fight proudly from now on: I hate to see someone as spirited as you are, regret your decisions. Now go and win the league! Don't be like those 3 earlier: they only fought you, because they couldn't beat me!" Leo chuckles "I'll win it for everyone I've beaten before!", Matt turns toward her "Um... Ms Lenora, why are you up so fast? Brother's just getting up and you look as if you never got hurt...". She laughs "I'm used to this, all Gym Leaders fight so much, our bodies heal almost immediately. When your brother's more used to this, he'll heal up much faster! You'll see soon!", he smiles excitedly. Aspen adds "Alright! This'll be easy-ish later, right? Awesome!". The friends later sleep in a Nacrene hotel, (Leo also having switched into another uniform, now is) excitingly awaiting the next morning!
