Again, I'll expand this chapter later but I worked on this chapter early so I thought I'd upload for you all to see! Remember, I'm always up for constructive criticism!
Now on his own, Riolu traveled down a rocky path covered with shrubs and trees not far from Veistone City. While Riolu was walking he remembered something made him groan in thoughtlessness.
"Oh Nutmuffins! I forgot to ask father where the first league leader is!" Riolu groaned.
He shook his head and continued down the path, having no idea where he was heading. Riolu then bumped into a Buneary, who was heading heading the same direction.
"Excuse me sir. Are you lost?" Buneary asked Riolu.
Riolu admitted that he was traveling blind and was looking for the first league leader.
Buneary then pointed north. "I'm looking for the first Normal type leader but a fighting type leader is that way." Buneary informed a Riolu.
Riolu moved closer to the area Buneary addressed and found the gleaming Vielstone City straight ahead of him.
"Thanks alot friend!" Riolu said as he waved goodbye to Buneary.
Veistone was very vast and was easy for Riolu to get lost in. Riolu traveled east of the game corner and and found a very large tent that looked like it was put up weeks ago. There was a sign near the tent that read ,"8th fighting type leader - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NOVICE POKEMON. Riolu was a novice pokemon so hee became a little worried, but he was always acting brave when he was training with his father and he wanted to be brave now.
"This may be the 8th leader but I think I can handle it if I try my hardest! Okay, here I go!" Riolu encouraged himself.
Riolu entered the tent and found a tall, white and green pokemon meditating with his legs on two pillars.
"Hello? Are you the league leader?" Riolu asked in a bold voice. The meditating pokemon opened its eyes and glared at Riolu. The pokemon then teleported out of his meditation spot and appeared in front of Riolu with a serious look.
"I am the 8th leader among fighting types. My name is Gallade," the pokemon said in a deep voice," You seem to be a novice pokemon. This isn't the place for you yet. Leave now."
Riolu shouted," I came here to win a battle against you and I'm not leaving until I do. I am Riolu and I'm going to stand my ground."
Gallade gave Riolu a serious stare then asked," Are you certain you want to do this?"
Riolu nodded and stepped in to a fighting stance.
"Very well. As recognition of you courage, I'll take you on fair and square."
Gallade said as he bowed to Riolu and stepped into his fighting stance with his elbow blades extended. Riolu lunged in with a Quick Attack but Gallade teleported out of sight. Before Riolu could check his surroundings, Gallade lashed out a super effective Psycho Cut at Riolu's back, slamming him to the ground. When Riolu got up, Gallade was right in front of him. Riolu then furiously attacked with Force Palm but missed again. Gallade then used Teleport again to appear behind anticipated that and quickly turned around to use Brick Break but Gallade block it and grabbed Riolu's paw. Gallade used this opportunity to strike Riolu with a Brick Break and sent Riolu flying. Riolu was stunned helpless in the air, and Gallade teleported near Riolu to use Close Combat, sending Riolu back in forth in the air. With the final Close Combat strike, Riolu crashed into the ground. Gallade teleported near him again, only to look at him. Riolu took major damage and was laying helpless on the ground. Gallade became disappointed.
"I knew you weren't up to this. Concede defeat now." Gallade ordered Riolu.
Riolu struggled to get up and stood up shaking due to the fatigue his body faced. " I'll... never give up... You don't...scare me." Riolu said in a trembling voice. However for Riolu, the damage was to much to for him to handle and he suddenly collapsed and fainted.
Gallade looked for a second and then turned around. "You were way over your head," Gallade said in a soft voice," You must train more." And with that, Gallade teleported from sight.
What will happen to Riolu? Is he doomed to ever winning the Type Mastery League? Find out in the next chapter!
