Hey guys its PlasmaRiolu467! Finally got a new desktop but lost all the data which is why it took so long to update. I got my desktop the day before Halloween. I will be updating more often now and maybe even faster if I actually got some reviews!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon
Last time on B.L.A.D.E:
Blade: WOW! My own Pokémon!
David: You will learn to become a pokémon trainer by living on Iron Island for 2 whole years!
Mary: You will be taught how to cook, clean, and most importantly bring a good daughter-in law home!
Professor Rowan: Here is a Pokédex to record any information on the pokémon on Iron Island.
Roserade: You attack one of us, you attack me and you don't want to attack me.
Riolu: We. Did... it...
Byron: I will look forward to your challenge.
Reporter: 7 yr old Blade Star showed excellent battling skills in Canalave City today against a gang of grass pokémon and their leader, Roserade.
Blade: I'm going to miss you guys.
David: Just promise me that you will look after yourself, ok?
Eric: Just take half my money and get out of my sight! (NOTE: The guy had $15000 PokéMoney so Blade won $7500 PokéMoney)
Captain: That's Iron Island over there.
Blade: It sure is I cannot wait!
A seven year old child called Blade Star had accomplished so much as a junior trainer. Even though he cannot legally become a trainer, he is certainly prepared to become a trainer so the closest experience is to send a little kid 100 miles off the docks from Canalave with only one supervising adult making this legal. He is currently living at Iron Island for the next two years to prepare the vital points of his training. Before this, he has to embark on a 5 mile hike to the area where he will meet his part-time guardian.
Blade: Riolu, I can't wait to learn how to become a Pokémon Master!
Riolu: Me too.
Captain: I hope you have enjoyed joining us on our Canalave Ferry. See you in 2 years' time Blade.
Blade: I wonder where we have to go first. Do you know anything Riolu?
The emanation pokémon just shrugged his shoulders and sat on a rock. He looked up into the clear, blue sky to see a variation of pokémon. There were Flying & Dragon pokémon soaring near the tip of the island's mountain. In the lush, peaceful sea there were Water pokémon. Not to mention the caves inside Iron Island full of Rock, Ground and Steel types. Some of these caves are tied to the Dialga and Palkia legend. This legend has affected the stable environment in which attracts more pokémon. Ice caves are formed to attract Ice-types whilst others became magma caverns where Fire-types roamed the area. Some of these areas even had a magnetic-pull so Electric pokémon lived. Most people would think that this would increase the popularity of visitors but it did the opposite. The Pokémon League recognized the area to be too dangerous for any pokémon trainer on the PokéEarth! Only champions, former champions and Elite 4 members have the permission to authorise entry to the Iron Island. Blade had permission from his father of course to be allowed to enter this so-called dungeon of an island.
All of a sudden, his Pokédex had started ringing. It was his father trying to contact him.
Blade: Hey Dad!
David: Hi Blade! You have to go all the way through that middle cave. It mainly has Rock, Ground and Steel types so Riolu can handle them easily as long as you keep going straight. The cavern is about 5 miles long and as soon as you are out of the cave. You will only have to walk another mile after that but it is a rocky and dangerous road though. Make sure you remember what I am telling you.
Blade: Don't worry, I will. Thanks a lot and see you later!
David: Okay. See you in two years!
Blade had placed the Pokédex back inside his bag before setting off on what would be a long journey to his destination. Through the cave was a gigantic cavern with many fork-roads and obstacles. But he knew that he had to keep on going straight no matter what happened. Before he entered he had returned Riolu back to its Pokéball so it would stay safe. There were areas where there was lava cracks seeping through a path mainly populated with Slugma and Magby. The temperature near the background surroundings increased causing sweaty, sluggish movement whilst making sure to not burn his feet in the lava. No matter what happened, he carried on. Blade was astonished to know that a cave this secluded would have so many secrets to it. The next section of the cave had dropped the room temperature lower than usual. When he looked up, he could see icicles latched on the ceiling whilst many pokémon like Swinub, Spheal and even Snorunt hid behind frozen rocks from Blade's presence. From there, Blade felt as if there were weights pulling him down in the next area of the cave. Static electricity was slowing him down wearing him out. All of a sudden, sparks were flying across a pokémon that looked like a massive magnet. Sparks from the magnetic rocks had enveloped it. With siren-like magnets and 5 of its kind combined to it. This pokémon was the final evolved form of a Magnemite, a Magnezone. It had charged towards Blade enveloped in electricity.
Blade: What's this pokémon?
Name: Magnezone
Known as: The Magnet Area Pokémon
Type: Electric/Steel
Evolution Chart: Magnemite, Magneton, Magnezone
A group tried to use scientific means to make MAGNEZONE evolve, but their efforts ended in failure.
Blade: Go, Riolu! Use Force Palm!
The magnet pokémon was forced back and stunned for a moment as Riolu sent a wave of energy through its palm. It responded by firing a Zap Cannon at Riolu- stunning it.
Riolu: AHH! We cannot win this! We need to leave!
Blade: OK! But first we need to cause a distraction! Use Blaze Kick and Quick Attack to escape I will catch up later.
The Riolu just nodded and sent a fiery kick in Magnezone's face before dashing out through to the next entrance. Which wasn't straight because it was blocked by the Magnet Area pokémon and that had basically got them both lost.
Blade: Wait! That was the wrong way! Riolu, wait up!
Blade had gotten himself lost in the cave. He realised why being a pokémon trainer was so hard. He already was cornered by one pokémon and lost his starter. The weirdest thing was that he defeated a full gang of pokémon back at the meadow but couldn't defeat one here. Back at Canalave, he felt different and he didn't feel like himself. He felt like he was being controlled by somebody else. But here; he felt like himself but all alone. He didn't feel as strong as he did when he was against Roserade. Eventually, he came to his senses and stopped sulking and carried on his journey hoping to meet with his destinedstarter at the end of the road. Since he was going a different route, there were more obstacles and more mysteries.
He had to climb over rocks. Swim through lakes. Dodge many threatening pokémon. It was more enduring and more tiring than anything he ever been through in his life. His father wasn't constantly watching over him as he normally would. Blade doesn't know that he was being watched by his father during Roserade's battle. This is the first time Blade was actually alone.
Walking through the endless cave, he also saw markings, relics and statues across the walls with paintings of Dialga and Palkia. Surrounding this area was full of Ghost types hiding with the skeletons and corpses nearby. All of a sudden, he was jumped on by a familiar blue and black puppy looking pokémon. However, he saw a few cuts around its body.
Blade: RIOLU! There you are! I missed you so much! What happened to you?
Riolu: Me too! The exit is this way. By the way, it doesn't matter.
After rushing further right, Blade could see a tunnel of light shining through the cave as if it was heaven.
Blade: FREEDOM!
After spending so long in the cave, the sunset that was out was too bright for him, he had to blink a few times to get used to the surroundings. He could see a large house nearby easily seen.
Blade: There it is. Are you sure you are ok?
The Riolu nodded and started limping before nearly being tackled by a Golem.
Riolu: AHH! HELP! BLADE!
The Golem had just smirked before charging at Riolu with a Rollout attack. This would be its end. The emanation pokémon braced itself for impact until Blade did something really stupid.
He dived right in front of Riolu taking full force of the Rollout and slammed into a wall; knocked into unconsciousness. The Golem charged again but this time, it threw a massive rock towards Riolu.
?: Lucario! Bone Rush!
A pokémon that looked incredibly similar to Riolu, was holding a massive bone and sliced the chunk of rock in half.
Riolu: (We're not dead yet, YAYAYAY!)
?: Now, use Cross Chop!
The other pokémon had eventually fended off the Golem which rolled away to safety.
Riolu: Thanks! You saved my life! Who are you?
Riley: I'm Riley and this is my Lucario. Lucario, say hello to these people please?
The Lucario just waved to us both before looking back at Riley.
Riolu: So how come you are here living in an Iron Island all by yourself? And how do you understand me?
Riley: I live here to train and explore somewhere nobody else has been before. Besides, the former champion DavidStar wanted me to train his child BladeStarto become a pokémon trainer.
Riolu: My trainer is hurt, can you get him to a nearby home as fast as we can because my trainer cannot last much longer. I will carry him.
Lucario: You sure, that will seriously strain your body. You could get hurt more.
Riley: He saved my life it's the least I could do.
Both Blade (still unconscious) and Riley had travelled through the rocky path to his house. The house was relatively large. It wasn't as big as Blade's house but it was still pretty big and really nice. Not to mention, the amazing view of the ocean from his house since it is on a cliff and the sparkly, peaceful sea glistening out in the sunset.
Riolu walked in and fell into unconsciousness instantly whilst Riley had taken Riolu's Pokéball and started healing him and tended to its wounds. 4 hours later, he was finally finished and Riolu woke up an extra hour later feeling as good as new. In the main room, Blade was still unconscious dreaming about how life was going to be like as a trainer.
In Blade's Dream:
MC: Blade Star has taken down the enemy's last pokémon! HE IS NOW THE NEW SINNOH CHAMPION! CONGRATULATIONS BLADE STAR FROM CANALAVE CITY!
Blade was about 12 years old and he was more muscular and taller. He was surprised that he is already pokémon champion. He ran over to his Riolu and hugged him so tightly that it nearly made him faint.
Blade: We. Did... IT!
Riolu: We sure did. Too bad all our other pokémon are too tired to be in the award ceremony to see you get that HUGE trophy!
At the reward ceremony:
MC: THIS IS THE SINNOH LEAGUE TROPHY AND THIS IS AWARDED TO BLADE STAR! CONGRATULATIONS!
The trophy had 6 gold pillars stacked like a pyramid and a diamond Pokéball on top with a silver lining. On the Pokéball was engraved 'Blade Star: Sinnoh Champion' with a pearl on top.
Riolu: Well done Wake Up!
Blade: Wait, my name is Blade not Wake Up? Riolu are you ok?
All of a sudden there was a massive hand that swung across onto Blade's forehead sending him through a wall that then woke him up...
In Riley's House:
Riley: WAKE UP! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SLAP YOU?
Blade: OWWWW! I was having a really good dream! Why did you wake me up!
Riley: Riolu is feeling better now. We should go check on him.
Blade: Riolu! You're ok!
The emanation pokémon leapt up to Blade into a deep hug.
Riolu: Yes, I'm ok. No need to worry Blade! Besides, you were the one knocked out for the last 7 hours!
Lucario: Don't I recognise you?
Riley: Wait, your name is Blade?
Blade: Yeah, Blade Star! Why what is it? How do you know my name?
Riley: Then that means I am your tutor for the next two years. Also, that Riolu is my Lucario's son.
Riolu: So you are my father then?
Blade: Sweet! That sounds awesome and WHAT!
Riley: Where else did you think your father could get a Riolu egg from? A Riolu is incredibly rare all around the world and I gave it him to give to you. Where else do you think a Riolu of that level could learn Aura Sphere and Blaze Kick? Those aren't normally learned until evolved into Lucario!
Lucario: I'm glad you're safe. I knew I recognised you from somewhere and I know that you will live a happy life with Blade too.
Riolu: Cool, so I have super-skills from my awesome dad!
Riley: Yes. And since its morning, we should get ready for training. Are you sure you have what it takes to endure and outlast the exhilarating training programme you are about to confront. I am Riley, your new mentor.
Blade: I'm ready for everything and anything.
Riley: First, we must par the physical ability with the trainer and pokémon.
Blade: Does this mean I have to exercise myself? AWWW!
Riley: You didn't think that you wouldn't be trained yourself and your pokémon would have to do all the work would you?
Riolu: HAHA! SHAME NOW YOU WILL KNOW HOW I FEEL WHEN I HAVE TO RUN AND DODGE ALL DAY! HA!
Blade: Be quiet you.
Lucario: So it's simple, trainer trains with trainer, pokémon trains with pokémon.
Riolu: Ohh. Ok.
Blade: Let's do this.
Outside with Blade and Riley:
Riley: Not only do pokémon have to be in shape, but the trainer has to be as well for them to be in complete sync. We will have various training exercises to help you out from simple push-ups to dodging pokémon attacks and even long hikes around the island. Everything we do will benefit you in some way.
Blade: Then what are we waiting for, let's do this!
2 Years Later:
Blade Star is now 9 years old. He has endured 2 whole years of vigorous training at Iron Island. Blade has changed loads since then. He has gained a perfect build for his age and has matured as if he was already 13. His clothes were ragged and damaged and his Riolu had a scar at the back of his neck. They both seemed to have grown in height and muscle. The training has taken a major effect on them.
Their training had varied between simple stuff like the occasional push-ups to hiking mountains and battling the overpowered pokémon that sometimes attacked. He has been under Riley's supervision during the time he has spent here but wasn't allowed to catch a pokémon because he is still underage and Riolu is classed as a pet which makes it legal. He still has that innocent yet overconfident attitude that he had before he left as if he was still the naïve 7 yr old to start off with. Also, there has been some near-death experiences that made Blade shudder just thinking about them but they still got through the situation with Riley's help. In the end, Blade had majorly improved physically, mentally and strategically. The only thing is that he needs to remember is that he has to wait a year before he can start his pokémon journey all around the Sinnoh region.
The Riolu had learned moves that any Riolu in the world would dream of having. His 'father' Lucario had taught him and trained him in extraordinary ways so he is stronger, faster and more skilled as well.
At this very moment in time, Blade Star will be leaving and returning home at Canalave City after he proves to Riley all of the skills that he has learned so far at Iron Island.
Riley: Wow, can't believe it's been 2 years and time has already flown on by so quickly. Well Blade, this is your final test! This is to beat me in a pokémon battle. It doesn't mean that you have to but your latest burst of determination has proven yourself otherwise that you have potential. Even without the assistance of your father. So how does a 1 on 1 battle sound?
Blade: Can you at least wait until Riolu is finished because Lucario has seriously tired him out! And unlike you and Lucario, we don't have special aura powers that make us twice as powerful and restless.
Riolu: For once, I agree with Master.
Blade: This is your entire fault, thanks to you teaching him loyalty; now he won't even say my name anymore.
Riley: Uhhhh, oops?
Lucario: Young trainer, you have forgotten that your skills will become more conscious after you reach puberty. Until then, your powers are dormant for protection. How did you think you survived being thrashed into a wall by Golem 2 years ago?
Blade: Huh? I don't get a single word that you have just said. Anyway, it seems that you want a battle, so it's a battle you are going to get!
Riley: Fine, go Steelix!
Blade: Riolu, let's go!
Riley: Start off with a Dig attack!
Blade: Quick, use Aura Sphere before Steelix gets underground!
The Iron Snake pokémon had dug underground missing most of the attack but it made direct contact with the tail. Steelix grunted in pain before reaching the bottom.
Riley: Steelix, are you alright? Now use Earthquake underground!
Blade: Focus Punch the ground, just try.
The Focus Punch and the Earthquake created tremors that shook as they collided. In the end, most of the tremor ended up at about a 2 mile radius away from them but some of the force was too much for the little Emanation Pokémon to handle so the recoil had sent it flying without the control to land on its feet. It went back-first into the ground.
Blade: RIOLU! Are you ok?
Riley: He doesn't have to battle if he cannot endure any more damage.
Speaking of Endure, the Riolu had used that certain move to counter the attack. This way, it didn't do as much damage as it supposed to and Riolu stood up.
Blade: Riolu, use Force Sphere! (Force Palm + Aura Sphere)
Riley: Knock it back with Iron Tail!
Riolu had created a sphere of aura then he threw it in the air and charged his fist with mystical, purple electricity before smashing the sphere towards Steelix. In return, the Iron Snake pokémon absorbed the hit but knocked a smaller part of the sphere back towards Riolu. The consequence was the fact that Steelix is now paralyzed.
Riolu: That Steelix is strong. But it is weakened, so we can still do this!
Riley: I don't think so! Use Iron Polish! (Iron Tail + Rock Polish)
The Iron Snake pokémon had started glowing bright before striking Riolu at 3x the speed faster than usual thanks to the special effects of Rock Polish.
Blade: Quick use Teleport!
The Riolu had tried to teleport but ended up flashing for one second and reappeared in the exact same spot not dodging the attack at all.
Riley: Looks like Riolu still hasn't been able to learn Teleport completely.
Lucario: Riolu. You need to focus if you want to be able to use Teleport correctly!
The Emanation Pokémon had clutched its pain before struggling to stand up.
Blade: C'mon Riolu! We can do this! Use Aura Sphere!
The Riolu shot an Aura Sphere from its hand but as soon as it released the attack went into the wrong direction- crashing into a nearby rock and causing a static electricity emitting from the battlefield.
Blade: Hey, I remember that electricity! From two years ago.
Flashback:
7 yr old Blade Star had started his training with Riley. They were on a certain cliff.
Blade: Do we battle?
Riley: NO! I will first train your abilities. Now drop and give me 20!
Blade: Here's 20 PokéMoney!
Riley: Not money, push-ups!
Blade had started to do some push-ups but straight away he had lost his strength after the 3rd one. But he managed to do 7 before quitting.
Blade: OWW! This is hard. This is way too hard. Can't we do something easier?
Riley: Nope! Basic training is just as important as pokémon training.
Riolu was watching his trainer in the background fail at doing push-ups. In an instant; he started cracking up at the sight.
Lucario: If you need to improve, you have to concentrate and you are NOT concentrating!Now I need you to climb that mountain using nothing but Quick Attack!
Riolu: Seriously?
Lucario: Seriously.
After Riolu had started his training, Riley and Blade came along to see how they were doing.
Blade: Look at Riolu go.
Riley: OK. Blade, you go join your pokémon and climb that mountain. If you reach the top by dinner- I will show you a surprise.
Blade just stood there with his mouth hanging low. If it was any lower, it would touch the ground.
Riley: BE careful though. There are many aggressive pokémon; it's a little bit dangerous. And if you go too fast, you will get a SHOCK.
Blade had started climbing the mountain but couldn't catch up to Riolu who was finished already. That was until there was a cloud of smoke. All there was were 2 Magneton and a Magnezone. This was the same Magnezone that approached them yesterday. When they had started moving, blue electricity had started to emit from the rocks as if it was pulling the Steel Type Pokémon on the ground.
Riley: Get out of there and keep dodging, Riolu you are only allowed to use Quick Attack!
Lucario: FOCUS! It's the one thing that you lack.
Blade: Don't worry Riolu, I'm coming!
Something extremely peculiar happened. When Riolu had started to use Quick Attack, it had dodged the pokémon and the electricity was keeping it at the ground. But when Blade went near that area, the blue discharge had sparked Blade making him drop off from where he was climbing. If it wasn't for Lucario to use Psychic, he would be a goner by now.
Riolu: BLADE!
Riolu was worried about its trainer so it dropped down. Nearly used Teleport successfully but just reappeared in the same spot making it drop down with nothing to climb on. Luckily for him, Blade caught him.
Blade: Riolu, are you ok?
The Riolu just nodded before losing consciousness.
End Flashback:
Riley: Blade are you there what are you even thinking about?
Blade: Umm, oops? Anyway, Riolu use Aura Sphere around Steelix but don't hit him!
The Riolu had started to shoot various Aura Spheres around Steelix causing the blue spark to emit faster and it had started to spread. Eventually, it had started emitting from Steelix.
Riley: Steelix, finish this with Giga Impact!
However, the electricity was so strong it was pulling Steelix to the ground and that made him unable to move.
Blade: I cannot believe that worked!
Riley: Great strategy Blade you are learning to use your head more, great job!
Blade: Great! Now, Riolu use Blaze Kick!
The Riolu had done a jump before encasing Steelix with its fiery leg. The Iron Snake screeched in pain before realising that it was free from the blue electricity.
Riolu: Umm, oops?
Riley: Big mistake; Blade Star. Steelix! Finish them off with Hyper Beam!
Steelix charged a super-powered orange-coloured beam towards Riolu. At first, a green barrier appeared and protected itself for just about a second before losing control of the barrier and sent flying from the Hyper Beam blast.
Blade: NO! We were so close!
Riley: Hmmm. I have to say, that was a pretty close battle. But not close enough. You might have stunned Steelix for a while but that doesn't render its abilities to use special attacks. You prevented it from using physical attacks. These are some of the things you have to take in whilst you are in a battle to gain the advantage.
Blade: Thanks, Riley. I really needed that. I figured that there will always be ways that I have to learn more. Not to mention, that it would be twice as hard to train a pokémon without the advantages dad gave me. I really am going to miss Iron Island.
Riolu: Guess this is it. See you guys another time!
Riley: By the way, I have opened the cave up for tourists but blocked off certain sections of the area that only you and me know about. Also, the ferry doesn't leave until 2:30 so you will have plenty of time tosay goodbye to everyone.
Riley hands Blade the ticket to Canalave City.
Blade: See you later! I promise I will call you kind of often.
Lucario: My child is growing up so fast!
Riley: I never knew you had a sensitive side Lucario! Guess it's once again just the two of us.
Blade and Riolu had already dashed off into the cave. Reminiscing about all the times they had spent together in the cave in the past two years just too finally return home. All of the islands hidden pokémon had gotten used to Blade's presence and welcomed him. He always used to play with them all before and they started to grow together. Almost grow as a family. They went through the relic area where the ghost-types were and for once- they smiled. They went through the mini-lake that a Gastrodon even helped swim him across the lake. The place wasn't so horrifying anymore. It wasn't as dangerous and haunting as most people thought. It was his home for the past two years. A home he would sure miss a lot. They went through the underground magma cavern where he was greeted by a Magcargo and a Geodude. Eventually there was the exit. He was about 2 miles away from the docks that transferred him here. The time was 13:15. He still had plenty of time before he had to leave. So instead, Blade had climbed a few rocks (by a few I mean about 10 small cliffs) before reaching the top. The view of the ocean was simply astounding. In the horizon, all you could see is a blur of what is Canalave City. The lush green grass was waving in the wind, the sky was peaceful and everything seemed perfect. All of a sudden, Magnezone popped up behind Blade and nudged him softly.
Blade: Magnezone! How are you doing? (Note: Blade can understand pokémon speech. If you know why and submit in a pm then I will be impressed!)
Magnezone: Beep, beep blutz! (Hi, I am going to miss battling you and beating up Riolu! No other pokémon except Riley's match up to me!)
Blade: I will tell you what. If I become the Sinnoh Champion, I will take you with me on my journey is that alright with you?
Magnezone: BEEEPPP! (Thanks Blade!)
Blade: You're welcome.
The ferry's foghorn signalled that there was only 30 minutes left until departure.
Blade: Looks like I have to go. See you another time, Magnezone!
Blade had rushed over down to the docks. They haven't changed a bit since the last two years. He rushed over to the ferry to see the captain.
Blade: Hello, sir. Here is my ticket!
Captain: HEY! Your that 7 yr old who came before. How was it here on Iron Island? Welcome back.
Blade: Hello to you too Captain.
Riolu: Is the training area still there I want to smash some fools!
Captain: By the way, Eric is back. He needs somebody to knock some sense into him. All because he was the top 8 in the Hoenn League he thinks he is better than everyone else and my name is John.
Blade: Oh. Ok, umm John.
Inside the ferry at the training centre:
Eric: HAHAH! I'm the best and nobody can ever defeat me! HAHHAHHA! Now that there is nobody who can defeat me, I going to take charge of this place and you losers will always lose!
Random Kid: But you got top 8 in the league, but you didn't defeat the elite 4 and champion or even win the league so you are still just a trainer who has done well in a league nothing special.
Blade: I have to say, I agree. Riolu, we have a new friend who wants to battle us!
Riolu: Let's do this!
Blade walks up inside the trainer centre to see Eric battling with Empoleon and defeating somebody's last pokémon, which was a Cherrim.
Eric: And that's what will happen if you bad-mouth me! Got any problems with me, prove yourself!
Audience: WOW! HE's so amazing! I want to be as strong as him one day!
Blade: Still bullying starter trainers again are we? Eric!
Eric: Who are you?
Blade Well, I am only 9 years old with one pokémon. Let's have a one on one to see who is really better! Loser!
Eric: You dare challenge me? I am undefeatable!
Blade: Don't make me laugh. I defeated you two years ago! Go Riolu! Let's show this freak how to battle!
Eric: Fine. Go, Grovyle!
Blade: Riolu, use quick attack!
Eric: Counter with Leaf Blade!
Blade: You know what to do.
Riolu had burst at a lightning speed into Grovyle before it even used Leaf Blade. That just left the Wood Gecko pokémon swinging its blades randomly before stumbling backwards from the attack.
Eric: Quick use Bullet Seed and move into a Slam!
Blade: Riolu, dodge it!
The Riolu couldn't dodge in time and was slammed halfway across the room. Riolu struggled to get up and shrugged his shoulders and carried on.
Eric: Throw an Energy Ball in the air!
Blade: What's he doing? Riolu; stand your ground!
Eric: Now use Bullet Seed at the Energy Ball at full power!
The Bullet Seed penetrated the Energy Ball and smaller Energy Balls covered the area and continued pelting Riolu with them.
Blade: You're going down! Riolu, Teleport behind him and use Blaze Kick full power all you got to do is focus!
The Riolu had flashed green and disappeared out of sight. It had then reappeared behind Grovyle and struck him head-on with a full powered Blaze Kick causing Grovyle to burn.
Riolu: I did it!
Eric: NO! Grovyle, use Synthesis! Then when you're healed use Leaf Storm and finish them!
Blade: Quick use Quick Attack to stop them from healing and use Force Palm!
The Grovyle was glowing bright green before being slammed by Quick Attack which stopped the process before being attacked with a static palm. After, Overgrow had started to affect the Wood Gecko Pokémon.
Eric: GET UP NOW! WE CANNOT LOSE THIS! USE FRENZY PLANT!
Blade: Riolu, use Reversal NOW! We got to win this!
The Reversal attack had collided with a set of powerful vines causing an explosion that rocked the boat for a second. In the end, both teams were unable to battle. Riolu and Grovyle were both on the floor unconscious.
Referee: Both teams were unable to battle. This battle is a draw!
Riolu: Huh? When did the referee get here? Did we win?
Blade: Nope, we drew but it doesn't matter because it was a good battle!
Eric: That was a great battle Blade! You are my new rival, I'm heading out to the Sinnoh League next year so until we meet again, don't lose!
Blade: Don't worry, I won't and that is a promise!
Mega-Phone: Attention passengers, we have arrived in Canalave City. Please leave at the docks unless you are heading to the Battle Frontier thank you.
Blade: Looks like it's time to go. Come on Riolu! We are heading home.
Riolu: YAYAY!
At Canalave City Docks:
Blade: It's nice to be home at last.
Blade Star; after 2 intense years, has finally completed his training and returned to his home in Canalave City. In pure excitement, he runs from the docks all the way home near the top of the hills in Canalave City. Normally, this would have tired him out but this is nothing compared to what Riley would have made him do. He has finally returned with just 1 more year until the real challenge begins. The streets of Canalave were virtually the same. They still had the pokémon centre and gym not to mention the PokéMart and other various stores and housing around the area. The hills were still the same except everything felt different as if the past two years felt different to him. Blade was just glad to be home. As soon as he reached his house he looked at it for a moment. He wondered if this was the way his father had first started his journey.
Heading back inside, all he heard was a single voice and he immediately was shell-shocked.
?: BLADE! WELCOME BACK!
David: Welcome home son.
Mary: We are so glad to have you back here with us! Sam is at Trainer School at the moment but we will pick him up soon.
Blade just stood there with his mouth agape. All his family were there. Welcoming him back like he never left. His mother, his father and his kind-of matured sister were all there- back to bring him home. Blade had walked up to his parents and embraced them for a period of time that felt like eternity.
Blade: Thank you! Thank you so much!
Mary: But you must be hungry from the training. Go on and have something to eat.
Blade: YAY!
In his living room was a selection of foods varying from dumplings to rice and different meats. His sweet, little innocent sister was silently devouring a bowl of rice. She looks up to her brother and puts herbowl down before chucking herself onto Blade in sheer happiness.
Slash: I CANNOT BELIEVE ITS YOU! MY BIG BROTHER IS BACK!
Blade: Hah! I guess so! But just 1 more year and I'm gone again!
Slash: Can I see Riolu? I haven't seen him in ages!
Blade: Sure. Come on out Riolu! This is Slash remember, my little sister! Soooo tired…
The Riolu shows an aloof expression before jumping on top of Slash making her drop on the floor.
Riolu: YAYAY! Hello!
Slash: WHOA! This pokémon can talk! Blade? Blade!
Blade had dropped asleep instantly on the ground. All you could hear was him quietly snoring to himself.
Blade: Zzzzzzzzzz. ZzZZzzzzzzz.
David: Hey Slash. Where is…. Oh. HAHHA! I will take him to his room besides, he needs his rest anyway.
Blade was fast asleep in the wonders of dream land where everything was perfect. Nothing could go wrong. That was until Mary had released Exploud to shout him out his sleep. Literally.
Blade: AHHHH! WHY DID YOU DO THAT I WAS ASLEEP! Hey Exploud.
Exploud: PLOUD! (Hey.)
Blade had glanced over to look on his Pokétch to see it was merely 7AM.
Blade: IT IS SEVEN IN THE MORNING!
Mary: I don't care! Time to get up it's my time to teach you your 'other survival skills!' (That included a wink at the end.) I expect you to be downstairs in an hour because I'm showing you something!
Blade: Fine.
Blade's bedroom barely changed at all. He still had his 'spoiled-goods' to keep him company and it was barely untouched. The only thing that was out of place was the selection of books he had used before he had embarked on his journey to Iron Island. Some would say that Blade had life handed to him on a silver plate. That he had everything handed to him. This was practically true but it doesn't actually hinder Blade or his abilities. In fact, it had driven him- gave him some determination- a reason to prove that he CAN be able to become the Sinnoh Champion without assistance from his father. That he won't be judged due to his advantages and that he CAN do things for himself. He had a quick glance over to a section of the book where these main words struck him:
'A pokémon trainer needs their pokémon to have perfect skill and perfect sync with their trainer to perfect this'
Blade: There is no point rushing to master my father's technique. I will wait until I win the Sinnoh League. That is when I will be ready.
Riolu had slowly walked upstairs to see his trainer/master having a conversation with himself he stared blankly at him as he was still speaking without a care in the world until Slash came in.
Slash: Riolu did Blade bang his head a lot when he was at Iron Island? Because he sounds weirder than normal?
Riolu: (Yeah he banged his head a lot so he must have gone loopy!)
Slash: Blade's a crazy person! Blade's gone loopy!
Blade: Hey! You will go crazy when I get you!
Slash: I'm only kidding!
Blade: Better be.
Blade did think she was kidding but he didn't know she had her fingers crossed the whole time. Riolu let out a playful giggle before realising that he needed to get Blade ready for his other training.
Blade: Riolu are you coming downstairs or what?
Downstairs in the kitchen:
The kitchen in Blade's house was pretty big it was inter-connected with the living room which was big enough to have a table and settee at the same time. There was a gap in the kitchen where you could still see the living room. It did seem pretty modern and expensive too.
Mary: Well at least you were on time. Next time I won't be waking you up from now on.
Blade: It's not my fault you…
Mary: Now look. You are not going to become gentlemanly-like if you always complain. Learn to accept!
Blade: What are we going to have for breakfast today?
Mary: We're having your favourite!
Blade: You mean waffles and pancakes?Wait, what's the catch?
Mary: This is the start of me teaching you vital skills in order to survive in the pokémon world. Cooking, cleaning and the ability to not be as dense as a rock.
Blade: Seriously. All you need is strength and ability! All those skills are for people who want to do contests and half of them are girls or boys that swing the other way like that green-haired kid with the rose! I think his name was Drew. But…
Mary: Stop changing the subject there is nothing wrong with contest and coordinators. Their job is harder and you will realise that someday. You will also realise how important these lessons actually are.
Blade: Yeah. Yeah fine. I mean exactly how hard can it be?
8 Months Later:
Blade: Apparently, harder than Iron Island. Right Riolu?
Riolu: Don't drag me into this!
Blade Star has now endured 8 months of domestic learning. This included cooking, cleaning and first-aid training to the more far-fetched lessons like learning what girls like, manners, learning about contests and even SURGERY. Each of these skills will 'apparently' assist him on his quest to being a pokémon master.
At first, he would be tested on his starting abilities in each of the 7 areas so his mother would be able to know what he needs help with.
Cooking:
Cooking was an automatic epic failure and the test only lasted an hour. All he had to do was make a batch of pancakes. Instead, he made a batch of mess all over the kitchen- mainly the ceiling. To be honest he didn't even last 10 minutes!
Flashback:
Mary: Blade I want you to make us some pancakes as a test to see if you can cook.
Slash: Mum. You are my mother and I trust and love you but I have to say 1 thing.
Mary: Why yes of course I will listen dear what is it?
Slash: THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US ALL KILLED!
Mary: No not really but I just want to see if he can cook.
Slash: Trust me he won't besides…
David: Slash don't you have to go to trainer school? If I cannot trust you to be on time then you will go on the bus with your brother. DO you understand?
Slash: Yes dad I will have my clothes on in about 5 minutes.
Blade: I didn't know you were being serious when you said Slash was going trainer school.
David: I was and besides- haven't you got to cook some pancakes?
Mary: Yes he does you have 1 hour the ingredients are on the side. The batter is already in the jug you just have to mix it.
Blade: Okay mum. Right! I can do this!
Riolu: I think you should use the whisk.
Blade: Your right! I'm so going to prove to mum that this is easy.
What Blade didn't realise is that the whisk was on full speed so it was too fast for him to control.
Blade: Can't. Hold. Much. Longer! Riolu, help me!
Riolu had come to help him but instead of controlling it the Emanation Pokémon had separated the whisk from Blade leaving it to spin uncontrollably in the jug splattering the gooey mixture all across the kitchen.
Slash: I'm ready now where's…
SPLAT! Right in the middle of her face. Even though the situation was bad, Riolu had turned off the plug just too continuously laugh at her so much. Even Riolu was laughing!
Blade: AHAHHAHHAHHA!
Riolu: AHAHAHHAHHAHA!
Slash: MUUMMMMM!
Blade: Uh oh…
His mother had come downstairs quickly to see the horror of the kitchen. There was pancake mixture everywhere all over the floors, walls, appliances, ceilings and even Slash's face. This basically proved Blade has no cooking ability at all whatsoever.
Mary: Blade Star! How…
Blade: So I am guessing I failed the cooking test then.
Slash: You think?
End Flashback
Let's just say Blade didn't use a whisk for the first 4 months of their training.
Most of the other tests ended exactly the same way . All in failure but within the 8 months, Blade Star had miraculously changed for the better and changed as a person for the better and can easily do all tasks needed to survive in the outside world.
Riolu: I actually cannot believe that you actually learned this! Last time, you had made mess all over the kitchen!
Blade: Riolu. That was 8 months ago you think I wouldn't be able to learn from my mistakes in that time?
Riolu: No comment.
Slash: Riolu is right you are supposed to be the stupid brother and now you have common sense not to mention Sam is already learning about pokémon.
Blade: Why jealous that nobody here can defeat me?
Slash: Nope but come to the Trainer School tomorrow and you will understand what I mean.
Blade: Yeah I will come sure whatever.
David: Well! Blade it won't be long before you can head out to start your journey. How do you feel?
Blade: I feel great! I can't wait then I can challenge Byron!
David: Do you want to know the real reason behind Slash taking you to the Trainer School?
Blade: Why?
David: Every year, the trainer schools gather together from each city to have pokémon battles and the winner gets a trophy. Today is the finals between Canalave and Veilstone and they choose different representatives from the city mainly 9 year old children since they nearly start their journey.
Blade: SO that means they chosen me?
David: Everybody knows about you going Iron Island so they know you are strong. So it's pretty obvious they chose you. It will start tomorrow at school time so you can go to school with your sister. This will be one of the last moments you will be spending here at Canalave.
Blade: Ok. I'm heading out to the field if you need me.
Blade: Riolu, where are you?
Riolu: I am right here.
Blade: What's with the non-stop flashing? Wait, did you learn Teleport?
The Emanation Pokémon simply smirked before disappearing and reappearing in a green light in different areas of the field.
Riolu: I can but I cannot stay for a long time. It is really tiring!
Blade: What do you mean?
David: He means that he cannot stay invisible for a while.
Blade: Still don't get it.
David: When a pokémon uses Teleport it disappears. By training that pokémon you can increase the amount of time a pokémon can stay invisible. Riolu isn't completely used to using the move so it will tire him. I can train with you if you want.
Blade: Really?
David: Sure! Go, Turtwig!
Blade: Whoa, a Turtwig!
Name: Turtwig NO.387
Known as: The Tiny Leaf Pokémon
Type: Grass
Evolution Chart: Turtwig, Grotle, Torterra
The shell on its back is made of soil. On a healthy Turtwig, it should feel moist.
David: Hmmm. At least you are using your Pokédex. It has valuable information. Anyway, I am going to get Turtwig to use various attacks and Riolu can only use Teleport to dodge them. Ok?
Blade: Ok, sure. Let's go are you ready Riolu?
Riolu: I'm definitely ready.
David: This will boost your stamina, speed and endurance. Go! Turtwig use Energy Ball every time I say fire ok?
Turtwig: Turtwig! (Whatever you say!)
David: Fire!
Riolu: Teleport!
The Energy Ball had been evaded but it barely missed them. Riolu slowly reappearing afterwards.
Riolu: I did it! YAY!
David: Bullet Seed!
The Bullet Seed had hit its target straight away in the face.
Riolu: OWOWOWOWOWOWOWO! Teleport!
Blade: C'mon Riolu, you need to concentrate! Focus!
David: Fire!
Blade: Teleport!
A few hours later, Riolu had gotten used to Teleporting and didn't suffer any recoil damage either. And it was all thanks to David.
Riolu: BLADE! I finally did it I can use Teleport!
Blade: Great job! It was all thanks to my dad! Tomorrow we will definitely win the battle tomorrow!
David: Say, how about you and I have a battle before tomorrow as a practice.
Blade: Sure! But you are going down! Go, Riolu!
David: Go, Turtwig! Blade you make the first move!
Blade: Riolu! Let's start things off with a Quick Attack!
David: Use Withdraw and loosen yourself.
Turtwig had tucked itself in its shell loosening itself whilst Riolu speeds itself up and slams into Turtwig. Since Turtwig was loose, it was freely tackled into the tree behind it.
Blade: AHA! Direct hit! This is going to be easy!
David: Don't get your hopes up. You will see.
The Turtwig had used the force from Quick Attack to bounce back from the tree straight into Riolu which Blade didn't see coming.
Blade: What!
Riolu: Whoa.
David: Turtwig, use Energy Ball!
Blade: Riolu, dodge it and use Blaze Sphere! (Blaze Kick + Aura Sphere)
Riolu had dodged the Energy Ball and charged an Aura Sphere. He then threw the Aura Sphere in the air.
Riolu: When do I use Blaze Kick?
Blade: At the right time.
Riolu had waited for the Aura Sphere to drop down before slamming it with a Blaze Kick. This meant that the fire had encased the sphere and increased the speed of it as well.
David: Use Withdraw and brace yourself!
The burning Aura Sphere had made direct contact with the Tiny Leaf Pokémon and had scorched it. Because of the Withdraw attack lowered the amount of damage taken. The Turtwig had struggled to get up but had eventually gotten on his feet.
Blade: This next attack will definitely keep you down! Riolu, use Force Palm!
David: You're getting too overconfident again! Turtwig, SunnyBeam! (Sunny Day + Solarbeam)
Blade: SunnyBeam?
The weather had seemed to brighten up as the sun shone brightly in the sky. This then meant that the attack Turtwig was charging will be fired instantly. The Solarbeam had surprised both Blade and Riolu.
David: SunnyBeam is a combination attack of Sunny Day and Solarbeam. Sunny Day increases the power of fire-type moves and decreases the time it takes for Solarbeam to fire.
Blade: Riolu! You ok? Riolu?
The Emanation Pokémon was unable to battle as the SunnyBeam combo was too much for him.
David: Looks like I win. And it means that you still have much more to learn. Why don't you go talk to Byron the gym leader he might be able to help you out.
Blade: Nah. I want to battle him as soon as I want the Canalave Gym Badge before all of the others! I don't understand something though.
David: What's that?
Blade: What time is it?
David: About 8:30pm, why?
Blade: Then why is it so bright? I'm sure Sunny Day doesn't last that long.
David: It does. Trust me it does.
Blade: In that case I might have an early night for the morning since I have a battle. Goodnight!
David: Night.
After Blade had a long trek to his bedroom he was daydreaming in his bedroom before dropping to sleep.
Slash: BLADE! WAKE UP OR WE ARE GONNA BE LATE!
Blade: Ohh! Thanks! I'm going to get ready one second.
After getting up, Blade had put on his trademark clothing from Iron Island and went downstairs.
Mary: Blade are you going to the Trainer School with Slash and Sam?
Blade: Yeah I am because of this competition. I haven't seen Sam in ages where is he?
Sam: I'm right here!
Sam looks different since he was little 3 years old that shouted random words. He had Blade's old hairstyle except it was a little flatter. He had dark brown eyes unlike his older brother and sister who had green eyes. He basically looked the same to Blade except for the eye colour and hairstyles.
Blade: Hey Sam how have you been?
Sam: Amazing! I can't wait to show you my friends
Slash: Are you ready to go Blade?
Blade: Can I have something to eat though?
Mary: Here's $25 PokéMoney. Buy yourself something on the way to Trainer School.
Slash: Ok. See you later
Both Blade and Slash had headed off to the trainer school which was luckily right next to a bakery store. Before even thinking straight, Blade drags Slash into the bakery store.
Blade: FOOOOOOODD GLORIOUS FOOOOD!
Slash: GET OFF ME! You idiot!
Blade: Smells sooo good! Excuse me I would like to take 2 large buns with melted cheese in it and 2 cartons of orange juice please?
Slash: You know we get to come here EVERY DAY! You don't know what you're missing.
Baker Woman: You kids are just too kind! That will be 5 PokéMoney please.
Blade: Here you go. Thanks!
Baker Woman: Please come again!
The Trainer School was a reasonable size it had the basic field. A smaller field for pokémon battles and the classrooms for studying pokémon. However, today was going to be totally different. There was loads more children than usual and that was because there was a competition.
Teacher 1: Welcome to the Trainer School Pokémon Battling Tournament! This year it will be hosted at Canalave City where the biggest stadium in the town is at the school. My name is Ms Watson and I will be the referee. The prize to the school is a gold trophy and to the final 4 trainers will get separate prizes depending on their position.
At the Pokémon battlefield, there was about 90 students competing and since there are 9 schools then that means 10 students from each school are in the competition. All the competitors were either Blade's or Slash's age. All of the battles were straight-forward and barely anyone stood out. It was now Blade's turn to battle.
Ms Watson: And now we have a new contender. Blade Star from Canalave City also known as Slash Star's sister against Timmy Furo from Snowpoint City! This is a 1v1 pokémon battle! Select your pokémon!
One kid from Canalave: He doesn't go to our school!
Another kid from Canalave: He's that guy that went to Iron Island for 2 years.
One girl from Jubilife City: He looks pretty cute!
Timmy: You are going to be easy! Go, Snover!
Blade: Hmmm. A Snover!
Name: Snover NO.459
Known as: The Frosted Tree Pokémon
Type: Ice, Grass
Evolution Chart: Snover, Abomasnow
Seemingly curious about people, they gather around footsteps they find on snowy mountains.
Timmy: Hurry up so I can defeat you!
Blade: But you can't. Go Riolu!
Timmy: Snover, use Ice Shard!
Blade: Dodge and use Bullet Attack! (Bullet Punch + Quick Attack)
The Riolu had easily dodged the Ice Shards and dived into Snover and threw countless punches at a blinding speed.
Riolu: (This is too easy!)
Timmy: That pokémon is fast! Snover use Grass Knot! Make sure he cannot move!
Blade: Riolu, Teleport and use Blaze Kick! Finish him.
Riolu had already disappeared before reappearing behind Snover and sending a fiery kick right in its face. The Frosted Tree Pokémon couldn't take anymore and was unable to battle.
Ms Watson: Snover is unable to battle, Riolu wins! The winner is Blade Star from Canalave City!
Slash: That's my brother! That's my brother! That's my brother!
Blade: I think they get it now. This is too easy! Nothing compared to Riley or dad!
The battles were at the same pace. Nobody really stood out except for Blade and one other kid with lavender hair (pretty obvious who it is!) Everything went smoothly and in the finals it was Blade and the other guy.
Ms Watson: After various battlers today, it all comes down to this. Blade Star from Canalave City and Paul Shinji from Veilstone City! Both of them don't actually go to the respective training schools but were
chosen as representatives for their city. This is a 1v1 pokémon battle! The battle will end when all pokémon are unable to continue. Select your pokémon!
Paul: Humph. So you are supposed to be the decent trainer of the bunch. A 9 yr old! Pathetic!
Blade: I'll make you eat those words! Go, Riolu!
Paul: This will be quicker than I thought. Murkrow, standby for battle!
Blade: What's that pokémon?
Name: Murkrow No.198
Known as: The Darkness Pokémon
Type: Dark, Flying
Evolution Chart: Murkrow, Honchkrow
If spotted it will lure an unwary person into chasing it, then lose the pursuer on mountain trails.
Paul: You done? Murkrow, use Dark Pulse!
Blade: Riolu, dodge with Quick Attack and use Aura Sphere!
Riolu had barely dodged the attack and shot Murkrow out the sky with a sphere infused with aura.
Paul: Grrrrr… Murkrow move in and use Aerial Ace!
Blade: Riolu, use Teleport!
Paul: Murkrow, stand your ground and use Sky Attack as soon as you see him reappear.
Blade: Stay hidden and use Force Palm as soon as you make contact!
Riolu had reappeared with a readied Force Palm and showed it to Murkrow who was literally bringing death down at Riolu who was sent into the stadium wall after the attack.
Blade: Quick! Use Endure!
Because of Endure, Riolu managed to barely survive.
Paul: Finish off that rodent with Wing Attack!
Blade: Riolu! Use Bullet Punch!
However, because of the dire situation Riolu had used a special, unthinkable and devastating force that increased the power of Bullet Punch ten-fold like it was infused with ancient energy. The Murkrow was sent plummeting down to the dirt unable to battle.
Ms Watson: Honchkrow is unable…
The Riolu couldn't handle the powerful force of the attack and drifted into unconsciousness. Even Paul was shocked of the sheer power of the attack.
Ms Watson: Both Honchkrow and Riolu are unable to battle. This battle is a draw.
Paul: Impossible.
Ms Watson: Paul for being in second place your reward is a Dusk Stone. Blade, your reward is TM Drain Punch and a Thunderstone. Congratulations on winning the tournament and representing our school.
Blade: Thank you all so much!
Blade's POV:
I am pretty shocked myself. I couldn't believe I was the one that won. TO be honest I thought I didn't stand a chance against Paul but Riolu's strength was amazing. Too amazing. Wait, why is my pocket rumbling?
It was my Pokédex.
David: Quick come home. We need to talk to you.
Blade: Ohh ok. Be right there.
I wonder to myself if I had done something wrong. I didn't undermine my sister. I didn't tease Riolu so what exactly was it? I guess I was too busy sprinting home to care. I think it was about a 10 minute sprint. We don't really live that far away from the Trainer School. All I wanted to know was if I did anything wrong or not.
Normal POV:
Blade: DAD! Hello, I'm back! Hello?
David: I think we've lost count of the days and time.
Mary: Blade, it's your birthday tomorrow.
Blade: WHAT? But I'm sure my birthday was later than that. So that means my journey starts tomorrow then.
David: Yes it does and I will support you in every way.
Rowan: We all will. To be honest, I think we should give Blade his starter pokémon now. He is going to get his license tomorrow anyway.
Mary: Isn't there limited starter pokémon in Sinnoh?
Rowan: He already has the right frame of mind and he can set out for his journey tomorrow. Instead of making the poor kid from walking all the way to Sandgem Town I might as well give him his pokémon here. And the numbers of starter pokémon have been increasing at an alarming rate.
Blade: YES! I know exactly what I want. I choose Chimchar!
Rowan: I haven't even brought out the suitcase yet. But here is Chimchar, take good care of it.
Blade: Thank you all! I am going to have an early night for tomorrow. Goodnight.
Blade's POV:
I walked up to my bedroom extremely happy that day. First I had won the tournament against an extremely strong trainer and now I had gotten my starter pokémon today! Well my second pokémon. I dived back-first into my bed and drifted off into my sleep.
As soon as I woke up and realised what day it was, it was the day I finally get to start my pokémon journey. I will finally get to prove to everybody in the Sinnoh Region exactly how strong I am. I can see in my room my 'trademark' clothes hung up. That's what Slash calls them anyway. I start packing my items and clothes in my bag. You know the important stuff. I have my $3000 PokéMoney, your average healing stuff. Then I have my clothing. Separate clothes to change to if something happens to the ones I am wearing. Not like that will happen, my clothes are um… I think it's called PokéProof where pokémon attacks cannot damage clothes. And most importantly, my 'you know what's.' I hope they are PokéProof. Riolu and Chimchar are in their Pokéball at the moment. I use my Pokédex on Chimchar's Pokéball to see what attacks it has.
Name: Chimchar NO.390
Known as: The Chimp Pokémon
Type: Fire
Evolution Chart: Chimchar, Monferno, Infernape
Attacks: Scratch, Ember, Flame Wheel, Leer, Dig.
It is very agile. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires.
After everything is ready, I head off to do the first thing I always wanted to do as soon as I get my trainer's license: challenge the town's Gym Leader.
That was Byron.
Before I walk out, my sister literally jumps on me before giving me a lecture on how I should say goodbye first. So instead of saying goodbye later, I say it now I guess.
David: Stay safe on your quest Blade.
Mary: We'll miss you! And don't forget to…
Blade: I KNOW!
Slash: Bye! Hurry up and come back!
Sam: Goodbye Blade! Good luck!
I walk away from them whilst waving then I head off to the Gym for my badge. The gym was a 5 minute walk from here. We used to visit often and I would be allowed to play with the Gym Trainers and Byron's Pokémon. But today I came to get a badge.
The gym was literally plated in steel to give the battlers a message that it was a steel-type gym. Byron would use different pokémon depending on our abilities and status. So this means that Oreburgh Gym is going to be harder.
Normal POV:
Byron: Well, look who it is! Hey Blade, what can I do for ya!
Blade: I didn't come for a play, I came for a badge.
Byron: It's about time as well. I will get the referee one second. REF! BATTLE TIME!
The referee was scared out of his wits. He was definitely new to the gym. It didn't bother Blade the fact that the Steel-Type Gym Leader was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Referee: The challenger, Blade Star from Canalave City has challenged Byron for a gym badge. This will be a 2v2 pokémon battle and only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions. Let the battle begin!
Blade: Go, Chimchar!
Byron: Go, Shieldon!
Blade: A Shieldon!
Name: Shieldon NO. 410
Known as: The Shield Pokémon
Type: Rock, Steel
Evolution Chart: Shieldon, Bastiodon
It is outstandingly armoured. As a result, it can eat grass and berries without having to fight.
Byron: Shieldon, start off with a Take Down!
Blade: Use Dig!
The Chimchar had burrowed a hole in the ground and left Shieldon confused. The Chimp Pokémon had risen out of the ground a few seconds later striking the Shieldon from underneath.
Byron: Shieldon! Use Ancientpower!
Blade: Chimchar, dodge it and use Flame Wheel!
Chimchar had dodged the white ball of energy and covered itself in fire before charging towards the Shieldon.
Byron: Shieldon, use Harden and try to hold Chimchar!
Blade: Use all your strength!
The Chimp Pokémon had eventually prevailed over The Shield Pokémon and Shieldon was unable to continue.
Referee: Shieldon is unable to battle, Chimchar wins!
Byron: Hmmm. That was pretty good Blade but you can't defeat this one! Go, Wormadam!
Blade: What, a pink Wormadam?
Name: Wormadam (Trash Cloak) NO. 413
Known as: The Bagworm Pokémon
Type: Bug, Steel
Evolution Chart: Burmy, Wormadam
When evolving, its body takes in surrounding materials. As a result, there are many different body variations.
Blade: Now Chimchar use Ember!
Byron: Wormadam, use Razor Leaf!
The Embers had went through Razor Leaf and attacked Wormadam. It shrieked in pain before getting back up.
Blade: Use Scratch!
Byron: Use Flash Cannon.
Blade: Flash Cannon?
The blinding beam of light had obliterated Chimchar and was unable to continue.
Referee: Chimchar is unable to battle, Wormadam wins!
Blade: You won't go down easily. Go, Riolu!
Riolu: (Let's do this!)
Byron: I've been waiting to have a battle against Riolu. Wormadam, use Razor Leaf!
Blade: Riolu, use Blaze Kick!
Wormadam's attack might have hit Riolu but it had no effect because of the burning leg. It then had made contact with Wormadam as she went flying in the air.
Byron: WORMADAM! Use Leaf Storm!
Wormadam had unleashed a barrage of leaves in a whirlwind fashion. Blade looked around and saw a large gap through the middle.
Blade: That's it! Riolu, Quick Attack through the middle of the Storm and use Bullet Kick! (Bullet Punch + Blaze Kick)
The Emanation Pokémon had dived in the middle of the storm rapidly before sending blinding punches and another burning kick. Eventually the Leaf Storm had increased in power and had blown Riolu into anearby rock. However, Wormadam had already took too much damage to carry on.
Referee: Wormadam is unable to battle, Riolu wins! The battle goes to Blade Star from Canalave City!
Blade: YEAH!
Byron: Blade, congratulations on your win. Here is your gym badge for proof you have beaten me.
Blade: YES! I GOT THE CANALAVE GYM BADGE!
Riolu: I guess we did. C'mon! We can do this!
Byron: Good luck on your journey! See you again
Blade: Next time though, at least try against me will ya? Use Bastiodon and Steelix.
Byron: How did he know that I wasn't trying?
Referee: IT was pretty obvious sir.
Blade's POV:
I already got my first gym badge and nothing is gonna stop me from getting the next gym badge. Although, I wished Byron had used his better pokémon against me. The point is I can finally start my quest. I can finally show the whole world what I'm made of! I got this feeling. It was unlike any other feeling I ever had. I guess it was because I finally got my first gym badge shows that I can easily do this! Blade Star, Riolu, and Chimchar my newest addition set off to the nearest town in sight. This is where it all begins…
PlasmaRiolu467: And now we're done! Now I have a poll for what should Slash's name be if I should change it or not. There are already choices and if you don't want it changing then choose stay as Slash. There will also be a reference like a log of all Blade's achievements and stuff like that. It would be good to check it out! Anyway I am glad I can finally update again. And don't forget:
R+R!
