Pokemon:Heart of a Fighter(For Bad Nero)
 

Rodrigo has a dream.Alongside his Machop,Tyrogue and Riolu,he intends to be the strongest master of Fighting Pokemon-surpassing even Bruno,Maylenee,Chuck!

However,Fighting moves are unique...for no human was able to master them,but with enough power,they could!And besides being a Pokemon Trainer,Rodrigo also spars himself with his Pokemon! He can understand the Pokemon Language,and Machop,as the Pokedex say,are great teachers.....in other words,besides making his Fighters strong enough to not lose even to flying and psychics....Machop and other fighters also train the boy himself,to become worthy of his dream of being a master of the Fighting Type Pokemon!

And,wild Fighting Pokemon in various places have their own tournaments to become stronger!No human knew about them,or even took part on them....before Rodrigo!

Meanwhile,as a certain boy entered the forest,hoping to catch new Pokemon to his team,he heard the noises of various Pokemon on the same place...most unusual!

Walking to the scene was Nero, and his pokemon partner was Ninetails. She was his mother figure..kinda by force. The boy had no family, and has been stealing to survive. Ninetails gave him a spanking for it and ever since then, she was attached to him like the mother Nero wanted.

"Mommy...? Do you hear that?" he asked her.

(Machop isn't angry about the rping at work thing,right? ^_^ )

"Many Pokemon...and sounds of a battle.We should investigate." Ninetails said.

(He'll talk to you when you get home!)

Nero nodded and went to the scene.

(No,no he won't,I hope!

*uses my training to get on my forest without making any noise,for my bum bum's sake!*)


As they arrived,Ninetails gasped.

They saw a fighting ring on the middle of the forest,made of natural wood and vines material,and inside,a human boy fighting a Mankey!

A Lucario was on the ring as the judge,and a Machop,a Riolu and a Tyrogue were cheering the boy up!

Rodrigo panted,as did Mankey,it seemed the fight was going on for a while...

Many wild Pokemon surrounded the area cheering on the fight,all of them Fighting Types!

"Is he....fighting a pokemon?!" Nero asked with a gasp.

(*is at home and looking dead at you*

(*Sweatdrops and hold my bum bum....*)

"Y-yes,he is..." Ninetails gasped.

Rodrigo panted.

Rodrigo understood the Pokemon Language,as Riolu shouted,"C'mon,Rodrigo,you can beat him!The tournament is almost yours!"

Rodrigo didn't need to be told twice!He remembered all the sparrings and training with his Pokemon,that brought him to this point!

He knew,by their own rules,that they wouldn't be dissapointed wheter he won or lost....not only he got to the finals,even though he's a human,but if the enemy is too strong,all they needed to do is to train more and try again in a later date!The only way he'd go over Machop's knee,the only way any of his group would earn a spanking for losing would be if they gave up,as per the saiying they have to encourage each other....

"...There's no shame in fighting and getting your butt kicked,there's no honor in not fighting at all!"

Mankey charged Rodrigo,but with enough Foresight,Rodrigo dodged the attack and grabbed Mankey!

"Vital Throw....!!!" Rodrigo shouted,using a Fighting move to toss Mankey at the vines,which sent Mankey back at him.

"And the finale...Mega Punch....!!!" Rodrigo yelled,his fist connecting on the Pokemon hard!

"1....2....3...4...5...6...7...8...9....10! Mankey is knocked out!The winner and new champion of the newcomers stage of the King of the Iron Fist tournament is....Rodrigo!!!" the judge Lucario said,raising the boy's arm in victory! He them put a wooden championship belt on Rodrigo,who panted and raised his arm again,making the crowd of wild Fighting Pokemon clap and roar in happyness as the new champion was determined!

Riolu smiled."He won!He won!Our trainer won!" he told Machop and Tyrogue,smiling,proud of their trainer.

Ninetails was shocked."I never saw a human being able to master the techniques of Fighting Pokemon before....let alone beating a Mankey in a fight one on one,without using the help of any Pokemon!" she said."This is no ordinary kid...!"

(King of the Iron Fist is the translation of Tekken,I know,but as Pokken Tournament inspired me,why not give it an homage? ^_^ )

"Well..I saw one other human master the art of fighting. Her name is Ivory. And she won ten consecutive fights. But he inspires me to fight!"

("Ehhh...hi,Machop.....*Gives him a cute smile* )

"No way!" Ninetails said.

At this time,Rodrigo's hand slowly fell,and much for the worry of his team he did fall unconscious after the match!

Riolu gasped."Machop,let's take him somewhere we can take care of him!" he said,though Machop was Rodrigo's first Pokemon and thus the usual leader of Rodrigo's group when Rodrigo isn't around or isn't in condition to lead....a "second in command",so as to say...Riolu also knew Machop is the only one of the three young fighters who could carry Rodrigo!

The Lucario judge let them do it,knowing Machop's strenght.

Ninetails gasped."....Now that's determination.He must have gotten hurt during the fight,but was so eager to win that he let himself black out only after the fight was over." she said.

(So Nero says you were rping at work again...)

Machop held him up and sighed. Normally punishments would be in order but he was gonna let this one go.

Nero saw and looked at Ninetails. "We should help them."
