"Dally your haste, young one!" Slowking intervened, placing himself in Luffy's path with stubby arms outstretched. "Do you truly mean to combat them with such hindered numbers?" he inquired, openly concerned. The abrupt intrusion triggered a perturbed reaction from the pirate captain.
"Oy, shellhead, you're in the way! They're wild monkeys! I've tamed beasts much more menacing than this," Straw Hat appeased confidently. "Unless you can fight, step aside," he demanded, motioning a thumb to the right. Nodding in agreement, Buggy folded his arms and shrugged, "We've been through hell and back, ole' rubber brain and I. Your attempts to quibble his decision are wasted, you'd have better luck squeezing blood from that flashy crown of yours. His stubbornness knows no bounds," the star clown refuted plainly.
Lowering his head in submission, the royal advisor exhaled a groan. "As you request. At least lend me an ear. I insist you refrain from underestimating the creatures inhabiting this isle. The norm you're familiar with has no place here. Keep that in mind, young ruffian," he counseled, removing himself from the field of battle. "Oh, and you with the big red nose. Behold," Slowking invited as he gestured to the back of his jeweled conch shell, pointing out a pair of distinct, sentient eyes. Without a word, he stabbed at it, prompting a stream of blood to spurt upon the ground near his feet.
"Gyaaah!! What the hell?! His crown is alive! Creepy!" Buggy shrieked in disgust, eyes bulging out from their sockets. "Wait a minute, what the hell did you call me?! I'll turn these knives on you ya' flashy bastard!" He threatened, brandishing a set of daggers which gleamed beneath the baking sun. This swift movement spooked the anxious monkeys, putting them on-guard.
"Ooh! Ooh! Oohahah!" They cried in unison, as if communicating amongst themselves. Their formation shifted ever slightly, deadlocking the crew within an enclosed circle. Bubble Man's arm buster began to hum as he cocked it, ready to fire. "Got any useful tips for us, alleged advisor? Or shall I simply use them as target practice?" The aquabot snarked, displaying an atypically brash disposition. It appeared Luffy and Buggy were rubbing off on the habitually timid robot.
"Indeed. Hmm...Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour rank as the element trio. Commanding the powers of nature, flames, and water respectively, they coordinate effectively to fell even skilled adversaries. The angry cotton ball is Primeape, the bruiser of the tribe, excelling in close combat. The two little runts are Aipoms; though they appear harmless, their quickness allows for swift attacks from the powerful third palm at the tip of their... prehensile...tail...awwh" the kooky narcoleptic sunk into a relaxing siesta.
Shoom!
"Eeeheeh!" the spherical ape fired the metaphorical first shot, charging forth to fracture the silent standoff. Somersaulting several times, the spinning brawler plunged both fists down upon Bubble Man, who hefted up his buster to counter the assault. With a klang, he parried the hammer strike. Arching his right flipper, the aquabot swung a leg. His kick swept clean through the air as Primeape dodged, flipping gracefully backwards.
"Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy incanted, clapping the soles of both sandals together whilst supporting his torso with palms placed firmly against the ground beneath him. "Spear!" he barked, thrusting his elastic legs forward with vigor toward the emerald one; by the leaves of its hide Simisage barely evaded the blow. Closing the distance between he and Luffy, the primate swatted with its thorny tail. Executing a reactive sidestep, Straw Hat eluded the prickly appendage, chomping down on it with his teeth. The grass pokemon yelped in pain, to which Luffy capitalized by grabbing hold of its leafy tail and slamming it into the sand.
Standing over the beast to gloat, his eyes trickled up, fixing upon Simipour as the solitary female of the element trio positioned her blooming tail like a firehose, expelling a torrent of water straight for the captain. Too late did he realize Simisage's assault was a mere feint to distract him as a simultaneous swell of flames flashed to life behind him, originating from Simisear's chasmal maw. Both funnels collided, forging a sizable explosion of steam.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Distressed by the sudden combustion, Buggy found himself at the mercy of the Aipom duo as they skittered about, fleeting back and forth while slapping him across the face one after the other. The pirate's cheeks flushed as red as his bulbous nose from the onslaught as he grew increasingly disgruntled. "Heed their Double Slap attack! Do not dither about your comrade!" Slowking berated from the sidelines. Squeezing a fist, Buggy shook away all doubt, reclaiming mighty fortitude. Try it again you little shitstains! In that brief moment, twin lavender imps leapt from opposing sides for another crack at him.
"Bara Bara Emergency Escape!" the star clown hollered as his head detached from the base of his neck in the nik of time, popping several feet into the air. The purple monkeys swung their palmed tails in sync, thwacking each other in the noggin' with absolute veracity. After a pained wince, the Aipom munchkins toppled to the ground bearing a dizzied countenance as Buggy's head submitted to gravity, plopping back into place. "Gyahaha! Not very bright ya' flashy scoundrels!" he celebrated arrogantly. To great dismay, the duo quickly recovered and scampered into attack positions, inciting a dreadful sigh from the big-nosed pirate.
Meanwhile, the furry pugilist and aquatic robot continued their tussle. Lowering his posture, Primeape took Bubble Man's flippered feet out from under him compliments of a slick leg sweep, following up by shaping his arms into an X formation before slinging them outward, dual chopping the aquabot dead center in chest. Reeling back from the masterful combo, he helplessly skid across the beach, carving a rift in the grainy soil.
"Ergh! Damn it, he's tougher than he appears," Bubble Man muttered under his breath, dusting his scuba suit free of soot. Without a single moment allotted to ponder, Primeape was already fast approaching. Instinctively, the aquabot primed his arm cannon, firing off an immense bubble from the buzzing barrel. "Bubble Lead!" he declared as the dense, hollow sphere slammed into the feral primate. As it popped, the glob of liquid discharged a shockwave, propelling the beast several meters away, skipping against the ground like a flat rock against calm waters.
The foggy cloud of steam dispersed, with Straw Hat no where in sight. Simisage nimbly pounced to his feet as the other two simians frantically eyed the battlefield in search of the elusive pirate. Suddenly, their attention was drawn skyward as an overwrought voice echoed from above. "Gomu Gomu no Axe!!"
Wham!
Luffy's elongated extremity came thundering down, his heel crashing against Simisear's fluffed dome and pulverizing him into the sand within an instant. "Stamp!" the rubber captain persisted, cracking Simipour dead center in her abdomen with the ball of his spare foot, forcing the water pokemon to double over hacking up saliva. "Pistol!!" He concluded, clobbering Simisage across the the jaw with a stretched fist, sending the simian careening near the shoreline. Planting his feet against the soil, Luffy landed with a thud, grinning victoriously.
"Eehaaah! Oohahahhh!!" The Aipom twosome cried out, rattled by the startling strength of Cinnabar's new patrons. "Oh my, a cry for help I presume?" Slowking surmised as he gasped awake, appearing equally astonished by the crew's bizarre talents. "You lads have gone and done it now," he quipped as a perturbed shriek answered from the confines of the deep forest. Mere seconds thereafter, an infernal creature vaulted from the brush, splashing down upon the ground in a fierce upheaval of soot and grit.
"Quite a flashy entrance," Buggy mocked casually as the encroaching arrival diverted the gang's attention. The intruder sported copper-hued fur accentuated by white tufts, cobalt digits on both hands and feet, with several gold-plated markings adorning its joints and chest. A domineering crown of flame wafted from its crest, flowing like wildfire.
"Infernape, the 'Monkey Martial Arts King' as it were. Its primacy is only outweighed by its spee—" Before the advisor could even get the words out, the monkey king vanished. With inconceivable agility, he arose behind Luffy in milliseconds. Failing to react in time, Straw Hat was struck by a stifling roundhouse and catapulted into the woodwork, snapping several trees before decimating a boulder and reducing it to rubble. Amidst the same blinding instance of pause, Bubble Man was felled by a crippling chop to the neck.
Buggy could all but defend before having his face buried in the sand, compliments of an elbow to the back of the cranium, knocking the star clown's ornamental cap several meters away. In a flash, the crew was utterly trounced, leaving Slowking to tremble at their certain defeat. However, a rustle stirred inside red nose's hat, revealed to be Kilala as she rolled out into the open, shaking her snout free of sand. The petit feline treaded over to Buggy, nudging the incapacitated eccentric with her muzzle, deprived of response.
"Myew," emitting a glum wince, she peeked over at the immobile aquabot. Her almond-shaped peepers shifted to the culprit whom frolicked around, beating his chest triumphantly. Kilala's eyes narrowed, welling up with rage, her pupils contracting to slits. The docile stray growled ferociously as swirling flames enveloped her, flaring up to exemplify a burning heart; as the wreathing blaze dissipated, the nekomata emerged coveting a wild new form.
The once tranquil Kilala stood a towering two meters tall on all fours alone, sporting a pair of sabertooth fangs and lavish, shaggy mane. Her fore and hind legs were each wrapped in elegant bands of fire, sharing this feature with the tips of her binary tails; threatening claws extended from her robust paws. The shell-crowned Slowking stood wide-eyed and perplexed by the abrupt transformation.
Has it...undergone an 'Evolution'? No, no...I've not seen nor heard of a Pokemon such as this. It must be something exotic yet similar. I feel a demonic aura emanating from this creature, he speculated, observing the mammoth beast as it lurched forward to challenge the monkey king, snarling wickedly. Infernape ceased his merriment, baring his teeth and sizing her up. Kilala did not falter, accepting the challenge with a turbulent roar.
"GRAWWWR!!!"
"Oy, shellhead, you're in the way! They're wild monkeys! I've tamed beasts much more menacing than this," Straw Hat appeased confidently. "Unless you can fight, step aside," he demanded, motioning a thumb to the right. Nodding in agreement, Buggy folded his arms and shrugged, "We've been through hell and back, ole' rubber brain and I.
