Chapter 20: Seikatsu in Spikemuth

                                    

                                          
 Some days passed, where Seikatsu got herself back and Marnie with the others in the meantime had a small vacancy. Besides, Seikatsu had helped Zoroark to bury his mother at Mount Pyre, although it was just a fur. But one evening, after Seikatsu and Piers were laying on the bed after their intimacy moments, she got attached even more to his chest, meanwhile he was hugging and cuddling her:"Huh? Dolly, you okay?" Seikatsu nodded:"Yeah, don't worry. Nothing's bad, it's just that I need to leave Hoenn for a while. The Contests, Lisia's so annoying, what happened... I need to leave. Can I stay in Galar with you for a little while?" Piers squeezed her giggling and kissing her:"Sure baby, no need to ask. How much ya wanna stay? Until next Contest?"-"If I don't bother you, I would."-"No at all, I'm more than happy!" Piers kissed and touched her again, and Seikatsu followed him. From downstairs, Zoroark and Banette, alongside Grimmsnarl, were watching trash tv programms, laying on the couch and Zoroark said:"Guys, guess we'll stay in Galar for a while." Grimmsnarl was happy, but he made the mistake to listen with attention to the sounds from upstairs and he had a regretted face, so much that Banette asked:"Second round?" Zoroark nodded:"Yep, second round. Let's watch Lisia's interview and we comment evilly?"-"Deal. Grimm?" Grimmsnarl nodded, still shocked from before.
 The day after, Piers called his sister to communicate that both him and Seikatsu would had come back to Galar with them, on Drake's ship. Marnie was really happy about the news and told it to everybody, then Leon said enthusiastically:"I can organize a Dark-Type Tournament! I wanna see how much Piers and Seika are able to prevail! Who wins will challenging me and Hop! I've decided!" No one protested, but Sonia caught the opportunity to study the talking Pokémon of Seikatsu.
 Piers and Seikatsu prepared the stuff to bring with them and sailed from Lilycove City, alongside the others. Latios and Latias danced flying around the ship, meanwhile Grimmsnarl, Banette and Zoroark were on beds to drink Pinap Berry juice and sleeping. Piers and Seikatsu stayed in company, but they spent some time alone together in their room, pulling away every Seikatsu's Pokémon and not only.
 The ship docked at Hilbury's harbour, but Seikatsu, Marnie and Piers flew on MegaLatios and MegaLatias and reached Spikemuth. Seikatsu got astonished by that city, but Team Yell creeped her as they assaulted her, but Grimmsnarl growled to them: he had become chiller and carried Banette on his shoulder, but he had become even more protective. He missed staying on his Trainer's shoulder, but he had fun to lift her up, throwing her in the air and catching her like a kid, meanwhile Seikatsu was terrified to fall on the ground, meanwhile her friends and Piers were laughing. No one was allowed to yell at his Trainer, especially when girls Grunts assaulted her, and Seikatsu showed that when there were many people she blocked instead to react in her usual way. Piers noticed that she attached to him, then Grimmsnarl growled to them. Even Latios had become aggressive, as Zoroark started to growl too, meanwhile Banette limited to scare them. Piers kissed Seikatsu's head, then he let her and made his road through her Pokémon:"So, y'all really think that's the right way to welcome me after two months I've been away?! Then, if y'all disrespect my gal, y'all have to face me, clear?! Moreover, y'all should be grateful to her, y'all know why?" His Team shook their heads, in fear and silenced by his singer, although he was slim he coud intimidate them and exercise an authority that no one discussed:"Thanks to Seika, now I've got a new fanbase in Hoenn. I'm not only known here in Galar anymore. So, respect her and her talking Pokémon." Piers concluded, then Seikatsu noticed that the girls were looking at her with jealousy and resentment, meanwhile the boys chilled down. From those looks, Seikatsu spoke:"What are you looking at? Never seen a girl with long hair?" Zoroark intervened:"And also without the under side! And yet you still got more hair than all of them pull together! Ih ih ih!" The girls got nervous, meanwhile Piers and Marnie were about to intervene but they got blocked by Latios and Banette, and the Eon Pokémon said:"Chill, Seika must establish her authority. I don't think that she'll be accepted just because you said so." Banette nodded:"Right, my kiddo knows how to defend herself!" Seikatsu had her Dragon Masters' eyes, those incandescent eyes that Piers loved so much, so he got hypnotized to look et her. A girl Grunt didn't get intimidated:"Sure ya got odd Pokémon. We've heard about ya, Marnie says you're a super strong Dragon Master and able with Dark-Type too. Why don't ya challenge all of us?" Piers and Marnie jumped:"No Seika! No need to battle 'em! I mean, they're many." Piers said, meanwhile Marnie yelled:"Are ya crazy?! Seika's the strongest! She'll destroy y'all! But really, Seika don't listen to them, they're so many!" Seikatsu turned to them and saw her Pokémon that were shaking from the desire to battle, then she looked at Team Yell and sighed:"Fine, bring it on. I'll use just one Dark-Type Pokémon. I can be phenomenal with this type, besides Dragon and Ghost ones." Team Yell instead exclaimed:"Ya cocky! Ya won't be as strong as Piers!" Seikatsu thought that effectively her and Piers had never challenged, meanwhile Banette, Zoroark and Latios were rolling down by laughs as they were thinking about another type of battle between those two, and even Grimmsnarl sneered. Piers in those two months he had learnt to know them quite well, enough to understand what they were laughing about, so he facepalmed and shook his head. Seikatsu ignored them, then:"Fine, let's start it. Marnie must have told you that I wiped her entire team with just one Pokémon, right?" The Grunts nodded, but they didn't hold back and Seikatsu sighed:"Alright, get ready to cry 'cause I won't go soft! Go, Bisharp!" As Marnie heard that name, she whitened:"Bro, Seika's gonna make 'em cryin' for real." Piers nodded, meanwhile he was about to light a cigarette unconsciously, but Banette stopped him on time before a fight between siblings could start:"Ah yeah, but that's not my problem. If they wanna be beaten up, their business. It's not the first time they don't listen to me. Remember when you had Gym Challenge? Here ya go." Piers gave a thankful sign to Banette, which winked to him and disappeared around the city: Piers raised an eyebrow, curious to know where the Marionette Pokémon was going and especially what he had in his mind.
 After having sent out Bisharp to the battlefield, Seikatsu showed how much she was able to do, coming to defeat a dozen of Grunts with two or three Pokémon in their parties. Bisharp was an unstoppable war machine: he dodged and jumped on his own at an incredible speed, he ran as crazy, inflicting violents shots and always had a sadistic smile on his face, meanwhile Seikatsu limited just to tell him which move he had to use. Bisharp defeated twelve Trainers in a row, with a total of seventy-two Pokémon more or less that got knocked out by one or three shots at maximum. After the twelveth Trainer, Bisharp was panting as he was becoming tired, but he didn't seem to give up. Seikatsu whistled and he turned to her: without saying nothing, she pointed at the floor, on her left. Bisharp sighed  and without complaining ran to her and sat  next to her, with crossed legs, meanwhile she petted his head:"You've been great, take a rest." All the Trainers got shocked by how Bisharp, from violent and unstoppable, was obedient and sweet with her. Seikatsu saw another twelve Grunts of Team Yell were ready to challenge her, so she wanted to show up another war machine from her repertory:"Go, Hydreigon!" Hydreigon went out growling aggresively, scaring everybody, so Seikatsu said:"So, are we gonna procede or you really want to beat up?" Piers wondered if she was inviting them to kick their asses literally, but as she didn't make come back no one, he sighed relieved but then he got on his nerves when he saw his Team that decided to keep going on, sure that they could had knocked out at least one of her Pokémon.
 Zoroark appeared as very cocky, but from the expressions of the retired Pokémon it was clear that he was anything but cocky: he was deadly. Although he played dumb, Zoroark was a hard rock:"Tsk, Seika beats harder than you! Who the heck has trained you?! A Gulpin?" He could take some heavy shots, but they seemed nothing:"You thickle me! Even my granny punches harder than you!" And when he replied back, Zoroark sent KO. Moreover, it came out that Zoroark was letting himself getting hit on purpose and when he fell, it was because he was laughing, because the shot didn't send him out.  At some point, Zoroark started to singing a song of Piers, but it wasn't one of his major hits, but a bit unkown one, so Piers got flattered by it: he understood how much Seikatsu had listened to his music during the years, although he had caught her many times with the headphones to listen to him. Piers was very happy that Seikatsu had kept being his fan afterall.
 Zoroark defeated the 20% left of Team Yell Grunts, taking thirty minutes: in one hour and half, Seikatsu had defeated the entire Team Yell. When Zoroark was done, he came to his Trainer, they gave high five and then they hugged. Even others Dark-Type Pokémon took part to the hug, then Seikatsu let out the others Dark-Type Pokémon to show up and for socializing. Everybody got amazed by shiny Umbreon and Greninja, but also by Spiritomb which was very creepy. After her frenzied match, Seikatsu got reached by Piers, who was holding a black rose, then after passing it to her, he hugged her and kissed her forehead, moving away her bangs:"You've been phenomenal, like always afterall. But today more!" Seikatsu blushed and hid in his chest. Piers had recieved the black rose from Banette, which had gone to searching for a gift for Seikatsu and he reappeared, encouraging their relationship. The gesture got appreciated a lot by Seikatsu, who took his hand, then he decided to walk her around the city, meanwhile Team Yell chilled down and accepted Seikatsu's existence in their Leader Piers' life.
 During the tour at Spikemuth, Seikatsu had heart-shaped eyes and Piers gave her both his League Cards, both the normal one and the rare one:"Oh, as a kid you were cute! Although you wore short hair." Piers smiled:"If ya wanna I can cut it." Seikatsu glared at him as he had said something awful and absurdly vulgar:"No, you don't. You're a god with long hair!" Piers chuckled and put an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him:"Chill baby, just kiddin'! I took years to make it growin'! I'll still be your hairy alternative singer, don't worry." Piers bent over her to kiss her cheek, meanwhile Seikatsu had put a hand behind his head, making him bending to kiss his lips.
