Paul Is My Opponent
The five of us decided to battle near the Jubilife City Pokémon Centre, just so we could heal our Pokémon afterwards. It was late in the afternoon, the sun hanging a bit low. Paul and I stood on opposing ends of the road. I was determined to pound this douche into the dirt. There was just no way I was going to travel with him. I've got to think of a strategy. What kind of Pokémon did he use against Ash the last time they battled? I remember him having both an Elekid and a Chimchar... He released those Starly he had because he thought they were weak. Jackass. So what kind of Pokémon does he have besides those?
"Hey, are we going to do this or not, airhead?" Paul said, interrupting my thoughts. I shook my fist at him. "Do you want me to knock out your teeth too, asshole? I'm thinking!" I yelled back at him. He barks out a short laugh. "You? Thinking? Don't hurt yourself." He smirks. Laugh all you want, jerk. We'll see who has the last laugh. Maybe I can punch him twice in one day.
Brock stood inbetween us, acting as our referee. "Alright, folks. These are the rules for this battle. Each trainer uses three Pokémon. The trainer who has no more Pokémon left to battle with, loses." He announced. Paul and I both nod and for a moment we just stare at eachother. I could tell we were both determined to win. Let's get this started. Ash and Dawn cheered me on from the sidelines. "You can do this Yukina!" Ash cheered. Dawn chimed in with a "Yeah! Kick his ass! But not like you did last time!" "Enough! Let's get this started." Paul said.
"Let the battle begin!" Brock yelled out.
Paul is the first one to throw out a Pokéball. "Elekid! Standy!" Oh yeah, he has that dumbass command. "Are you stupid or something? What kind of command is that?!" I yelled at him. He scoffed. "Just shut your mouth and call out your Pokémon, already!" He yelled back. I felt my eyebrow twitching slightly. Don't tell me what to do, fucker. "Fine! Come on out, Marshall!" I shouted as I threw my Pokéball. Out comes my Wooper. "Woopah." It cries with those tiny eyes and blank stare.
"A Wooper? You're serious?" Paul asked, confused. I glared at him. "What's wrong with a Wooper?" I asked, not really wanting the answer to that. "I had hoped you would have some strong Pokémon, not a weak little thing like that." He answered, pointing at Marshall, who just stares at him curiously. I frowned. "He's got plenty potential, you know." Paul scoffed. "Whatever, and it doesn't matter that he's a ground type either. Elekid! Use Quick Attack!" Elekid made a noise and runs towards Marshall. "Marshall! Try to dodge it!" But Marshall wasn't fast enough, but got slammed by Elekid. "Marshall! Can you get up? Are you alright?" The little blue Pokémon got up, shakes the dust off and just said "woopah". I sighed in relief. "Alright Marshall, use Mud Sport!" Marshall squinted in happiness and covers the road with mud from his mouth. "Ha! Now Elekid's electric type moves are completely useless!" I smirked confidentely. Paul frowned at me. "As if I didn't know that, airhead. Elekid! Use Swift!" Shit! "Marshall, dodge and use Mud Shot!" The blue Pokémon managed to evade Elekid's attack and hit it in the face with mud. "Dammit!" Paul grunted out. Elekid cried out in pain. "Elekid! Get up!" Paul demanded.
I raised my eyebrows. I have seen him act like this before, how could you treat your Pokémon like that? "Hey! Be nice to him!" I yelled at him. He glared at me. "Mind your own business!" He yelled back at me. Elekid was able to stand up. "Elekid! Use swift!" Marshall wasn't fast enough to avoid it, and got hit harshly. "Shit! Marshall! You can do it! Just a little longer!" I call out to my little blue friend. Marshall had scuff marks on his body, but jumped up from his laying down position, ready to have another go. "Alright, Marshall! Use Mud Shot again!" "Not so fast!" Paul yelled. "Elekid! Quick Attack! Now!" Elekid was much faster than Marshall. He slammed into Marshall, knocking him out. I ran towards Marshall, and cradled him in my arms. "Marshall, are you okay?!"
"Wooper has fainted! The first round goes to Paul!" Brock announced. For fuck's sake! I held Marshall close to me. "You can take a rest now, Marshall. You were great." I coo'd at my fainted friend.
I needed a moment to think. If Wally couldn't hold his own against Elekid, who could? I looked at my two remaining pokéballs, within each of them a dear friend of mine since I started traveling. I didn't want either of them to get hurt, but you can't always get what you want, right? I'll welcome anything, as long as my Pokémon are with me.
"Any day now." Paul said annoyed. For a moment I just looked at him. Impatient much? A tired sigh escaped my lips. "Time to fuck him up! Kasabana!" I yelled, as my faithful Bulbasaur leaped from her pokéball.
"Kasabana! Use Poison Powder!" I commanded, and almost immediately Kasabana spread around a poisonous mist around Elekid. "Elekid! You better not get poisoned!" Paul demanded, but it was in vain. Elekid was covered in the stuff and has fallen prey to the dust. The smirk on my face was a little forced, because I am unable to be happy about the fact that I hurt the yellow Pokémon. "Kasabana! Use Leech Seed!" I said, ignoring Paul's attempts at threatening Elekid. The seed was planted on the asshole's Pokémon, healing any damage Kasabana might get over time.
Paul snarled, which was a clear sign I celebrated a little too soon. "Elekid! Use Thunder Punch!" Ah shit, I have to make sure Kasabana doesn't get hit. "Kasabana! Dodge and use Vine Whip!" As I commanded my Bulbasaur, it dodged Elekid's Thunder Punch by jumping up and onto his head into the air, Vine Whipping him in the process. So far so good? Paul seemed really annoyed, which was a good thing. "You think you're so tough? Let's see how you'll like this! Elekid! Use Brick Break!"
Kasabana tried to dodge the attack, but failed. "Kasabana! Are you okay?" I asked him. A determined cry from my Bulbasaur eased my worries. A relieved sigh escaped my lips. This is my last chance. I just needed one more hit on Elekid, and then we're safe for the time being. Defeating this douche is harder than it looks…
"Kasabana! Use Vine Whip again for the last time!" I yelled, and Kasabana complied immediately, whipping Elekid a few times. "Elekid! You better not lose this battle!" Paul yelled at the poor Pokémon. "Hey, jackass! Don't be so mean to him!" I yelled back at him. Honestly, though. Who treats their Pokémon like that? "Mind your own business, airhead."
Suddenly Brock interrupted us. "Elekid is unable to continue! This round goes to Yukina!" "Woohoo!" I yelled as I jumped up and down. "Way to go, Yukina!" Dawn cheered. "Awesome job!" Ash added. Kasabana came up to me and cried "Bulbasaur!" at me happily. "You were amazing, Kasabana. Can I get a high-five?" As I held up my hand, one of Kasabana's vines smacked against my palm as an improvised high-five. The little green Pokémon smiled at me before crying out again. She's so adorable.
"Hn. Pathetic." Opponent douchebag snarled as he returned his Pokémon. "You could be a little nicer to your Pokémon, y'know. Not scared of a little revolution?" Insensitive prick. Some people just shouldn't have Pokémon, especially people like him. He didn't seem to hear me, or he was just ignoring me. "Chimchar! Standby!" Again with the 'standby' crap. It's not even a real command.
"Chimchar!" The little red fire-monkey exclaimed, but immediately shuts up after a fierce glare from Paul. Weird. Chimchar seems really scared of Paul, unlike Elekid, who is just as mean as his trainer… Wait a minute. Chimchar is fire-type… Crap. This was not going to end well for Kasabana. "Kasabana! Use Poison Powder!" But before Kasabana could spread the poisonous dust, Paul gave Chimchar a command. "Chimchar! Use Flame Wheel!" Oh no no no no no no. "Kasabana! Dodge it!" But it was too late. Chimchar collided with Kasabana before she was able to dodge it. Kasabana struggled to stand up. "Kasabana, I know you can do it! Please stand up!" Kasabana finally stood up, more determined than ever. "Kasabana! Use Vine Whip!"
The attack hit, but Chimchar seemed nonplussed and got ready for another attack. "Chimchar! Use Ember!" Shit! "Kasabana! Dodge it, please!" Kasabana had almost no energy left and was hit by the Ember attack. She fell to the ground and doesn't get up. Goddammit.
"Bulbasaur has been defeated! Third round goes to Paul!" Brock exclaimed. Ash and Dawn seemed to be worried about me, but there's no need for that. I was still able to win this. Just wait. "Kasabana, you did great. I'm not angry. I'm proud of you." I told my precious friend as I returned her to her pokéball. "Didn't know your Pokémon were that pathetic." Paul sneered.
"Voodoo! Give him hell!" I yelled, as I sent out my Shuppet. With a small cry, Shuppet was released from her Pokéball. "Where the hell did you get a Shuppet?" Paul more or less demanded. "Pshaw, like I'm telling you. Let's just get on with the battle! Voodoo! Use Night Shade!" Suddenly a mirage appeared before Chimchar and attacks him. That wasn't not enough… not by a long shot.
Once again, Chimchar used Flame Wheel. It hit Voodoo with great power, but she managed to stay in the battle. How was I ever going to win this? This shitpiss knew exactly what to do without even trying! "Voodoo! Use –" "Chimchar! Use Flame Wheel again and finish it!" "Noooooo!" Chimchar charged Voodoo and it was all over for me. Goddamn son of a motherfu-
Shuppet has been defeated! The winner of the battle is Paul!"
