127 Chapter 127

"My, how exciting!" I heard Delia chirp excitedly, "Not only will we get to see a rare ancient pokemon up close and personal in action, but even the champion himself in battle, aren't we lucky today Chloe?"

The girl standing beside her shrugged her shoulders, "I guess so." she replied, voice flat.

As she spoke, I glanced at her, my eyes meeting hers, and I could see clearly in her gaze, how bored she was. No…not bored, not quite at least.

She stared back at me impassively, before glancing away.

"Alright, then how about I start us off since I gave you such a request?" Lance's voice broke me from my thoughts before I could ponder on the older girls attitude any more and I turned back to see him holding a pokeball in hand, "Come out, Dragonite!"

He released the pokemon from within the pokeball in his hand, and it appeared in a burst of bright silvery white light that formed into a Dragonite.

A huge Dragonite, around the same size as the one I gave to Hilda, if not a little larger.

…Alright, he was totally taking this seriously.

The question is, was this thing is ace or just a secondary or third Dragonite? Well, either way, it was a Dragonite on a champions team, so it wasn't going to be a pushover no matter what.

Well, guess it's my turn now.

"Let's go, Aerodactyl." I declared and released the ancient bully pokemon from his pokeball.

In a burst of silvery white light of his own, Aerodactyl exploded onto the battlefield. As soon as the light faded away, gasps and shouts of excitement erupted from the gathering of reporters.

"Dear…me…" Professor Cerise trailed off, and Oak's eyes went wide. Surge didn't make much of a reaction, beyond his crossed arms tightening and muscles tensing, and Giovanni threaded his fingers together and a large smile spread across his face, excitement in his gaze.

No, not for you.

"Amazing…" Lance drew my attention to him with his awe, staring at Aerodactyl wide eyed as the huge rock and flying type shook his head and yawned, "I had no idea Areodactyl could get so massive, none of the fossil parts we've found so far indicated a size like this."

It was then Aerodactyl noticed he had an audience and stopped shaking his head. He cocked his head to the side and regarded the gathering of reporters and co confusedly, before smirking and spreading his wings wide, "AERRROOOOOOO!" he roared at them, while leering threateningly as he spread his huge wings out as far as they could go intimidatingly.

He stepped towards them and I saw Lance's Dragonite tense, preparing to move, and a few of the reporters let out some panicked yelps.

"Oi, enough." I said simply and loudly.

Aerodactyl froze at my voice and he whipped around to look at me wide eyed, before narrowing his eyes at me and growling, stepping towards me threateningly.

I held my hand up and clenched it into a fist, popping my knuckles audibly as I did, "You wanna go again?" I narrowed my eyes at him and took a step towards him.

Aerodactyl froze in his tracks before backing up quickly, "Aero aero aero!" he waved his wings and shook his head, looking away with a snicker.

Pretending as if it was all a joke.

Typical bully behaviour.

What a cliche.

"…Truly astounding, he's cowed it." Professor Oak noted aloud.

"Indeed, impressive!" Lance grinned massively in agreement, "I see what you mean by an attitude problem now, but to think Aerodactyl would back down from you."

"He's used to being the top of the pecking order," I shrugged and grinned, "I just made sure to show him, he's a lot lower than he thought he was, isn't that right Aerodactyl?"

"Aero!" Aerodactyl grudgingly nodded his massive head, and looked away. Only to blink when he finally then finally noticed the huge Dragonite standing opposite him.

He grinned, showing of all his teeth.

Dragonite raised a single brow, but didn't react.

Aerodactyl probably thought that Dragonite was going to be as easy to throw around as my Dragonite was. Big mistake buddy. Not that I'm gonna warn him.

"We're having a battle with Lance and his Dragonite, which means you need to do what I tell you, okay?" I said.

I'd already established to him what a pokemon trainer was and what would be expected of him earlier.

Aerodactyl gave an explosive sigh, huge head lagging down a bit, but nodded nonetheless.

"Quite the funny character, I have to admit," Lance chortled, "Well then Jord, I give the first move to you, how about you and Aerodactyl start this battle off for us?"

"So what's the plan then?" Hilda asked her cousin as she made her way into the living room, freshy showered and dressed for the day, and running a brush through her currently wet hair.

Her cousin, sitting in the armchair dressed in nothing but her underwear with a bowl of cereal in hand looked up at her, blinking owlishly at her, a spoon stuck in her mouth.

Hilda glanced at the television as Rosa swallowed and noted she was just watching the news, probably looking for any mention of those pokemon stealing freaks they were going to be hunting for soon.

'This is another reason why she isn't allowed anywhere near Jord.' she decided. Rosa had no sense of modesty whatsoever. Honestly, beyond her body, her cousin completely lacked any feminine charm at all.

"Eh, I thought we could y'know go-"

Rosa never got to finish her sentence as the news station, that was currently talking about the weather, suddenly shifted screens to an older man in a business suit, Hilda knew him as the one who covered top of the line pokemon trainer related stories for the Unova news station.

She hummed in interest as he went on about some young hotshot trainer who had apparently gotten his hands on an Aerodactyl of all things, the first known living specimen in the world.

Good for him.

She was about to turn away, when the man announced that they had a live feed from Kanto and the trainer was apparently participating in an exhibition match against Champion Lance.

Despite herself, Hilda got a little excited. It wasn't often she got to see other champions in action beyond Alder, and even he only rarely battled, nobody had actually got passed the Elite Four in years and had the chance to challenge him.

And then the screen shifted to the battlefield.

And she saw Lance and a huge dragonite that reminded of her own sweetie pie gifted to her by her…Booty call? Friend with benefits? Lover? 'I'll put my name on you alright idiot.' Hilda snorted.

She'd tattoo her damn name on his forehead next time she saw him, sassy little overly muscled big dick brat.

And then the screen shifted over to show the amazing sight of the massive Aerodactyl that towered over even Lance;'s Dragonite.

And then its trainer.

"Hey…isn't that Jord?" Rosa blinked.

.

..

…

"Yes…yes it is," Hilda took a deep breath and closed her eyes and tried to count to five. She failed, "It's only been a god damn few hours, how the hell has he gotten his hands on an Aerodactyl and now battling the freaking champion!?"

Hilda wasn't even sure what to say at this point. How was this even possible? It was like every time she took her eyes off of that muscle brained thug idiot he went and did something crazily impressive, stupidly idiotic, insane, dangerous, life threatening or all of the above.

"Man, he is gonna get so much pussy from this." Rosa snorted, completely unladylike.

And just rained on her parade even more.

The worst of it all though.

Was, she wasn't wrong.

'I should have accepted his offer to come along with me.' Hilda groaned inwardly.
