Notice: I will be on hiatus, but I at least thought to put the story back on. I wouldn't expect to see more chapters at least until around August. I also thought to at least add the chapter I wrote.
Chapter 2: The First Matches, part 1
After Violet walked away, Veruca stated, "Well, that could've gone better."
Mike put his hand on Charlie's shoulder and said, "Just ignore her. Things could be worse though. I'm sure you'll do good. Speaking of which, look up there." They looked at the screen, where the numbers were replaced by the pictures of the trainers. The first block had Mr. Wonka and Mike, while Charlie and Violet were in the last block. "We're up first. So go ahead and watch me win."
An hour later, the competitors that weren't battling were able to sit right outside the battlefield instead of in the crowd. The four battlers stood on the two opposite sides on the field. Charlie, Veruca and Augustus were watching, while Violet stood away from them. The MC spoke into the mic, "NOW IT'S BATTLE TIME!" The crowd cheered as he continued. "Now, the first block will now begin. It is the team of Mike and Willy vs. the team of Ashley and Darren. Now, SEND OUT YOUR POKEMON!"
Ashley: Okay, Noctowl, you're up!
Out came an brown owl with dark brown wings and tail feathers, triangle patterns on its body and long white eyebrows. It's eyes had dark rings, as if it were ready to hypnotize.
Darren: Dusknoir, Go!
Out came a dark and light gray ghost. It had a yellow antenna on its head, glove-like hands, yellow rings on its arms, a single red eye, and a yellow pattern on its body that resembled a face.
Mike: Go get 'em, Electivire!
Mike's Electivire was a bipedal, tiger-like yellow and black Pokemon. It had two red eyes, two long, wire-like tails, lightning bolt patterns, and a menacing smile.
Mr. Wonka: Ferrothorn, Come forth!
Ferrothorn is a pod-like metallic Pokemon with green tendrils attached to its head. It was covered in spikes. It also possessed creepy yellow eyes.
Charlie looked and said, "Mike and Wonka have the advantage here."
Augustus asked, "What do you mean?"
Veruca answered instead, "It's a Normal and Flying type and a Ghost type versus an Electric type and a Grass and Steel type. Mike's Electivire can do some damage to the Noctowl, while Dusknoir will barely affect Mr. Wonka's Ferrothorn.
The MC said, "NOW, BATTLE BEGIN!"
Ashley: Now, Noctowl, use Air Slash!
Darren: Dusknoir, Shadow Punch!
Noctowl whipped its wings to create a ball of concentrated air before firing it. Dusknoir's hands glowed dark gray and extended out into the shape of long arms. Mike countered, "Electivire, use Fire Punch!" Electivire's fists enveloped in flames and it stopped Air Slash cold. The Shadow Punch came towards Electivire.
Mr. Wonka said, "Payback!" Ferrothorn creeped in front and blocked the Shadow Punch. It's tendrils glowed black and whipped at Dusknoir, hitting it directly.
Charlie said, "Payback is a Dark-type move that doubles the damage when hit first. It's super effective on Ghost types. Not to mention Iron Barbs."
"Iron Barbs?" Veruca asked.
Charlie explained, "Ferrothorn's special ability. It damages the opponent that makes direct contact with it."
Mr. Wonka then said, "Ferrothorn, use Iron Defense!" It glimmered in a silver light, boosting its defense.
Darren commanded, "Dusknoir, use Shadow Ball!" Dusknoir opened a hole in it's body and fired a shadowy blob.
Mike countered, "Electivire, Thunder!" Electivire fired intense lightning from its tails, shooting through the Shadow Ball and hitting Dusknoir.
Ashley grew frustrated with her partner. "I guess I have to do this by myself! Noctowl, use Extrasensory!" Noctowl's eyes glowed pink and it fired a psychic wave. It hit Electivire and pushed it towards Dusknoir.
Darren said, "Dusknoir, Shadow Punch!" Dusknoir readied Shadow Punch for Electivire, but Mike chuckled.
"Right where I want you," he slyly stated. "Use Thunderpunch!" Electivire enveloped his fists with electricity and hit Dusknoir away.
Mr. Wonka commanded, "Ferrothorn, Iron Head!" Ferrothorn's body glowed silver and rammed Noctowl into the air with its hard, steel head.
Mike smiled and said, "Giga Impact!" Electivire's body spun and started to begin charging power. It ran down Noctowl with brutal force, knocking it out. "Mr. Wonka, take down the ghost!"
Mr. Wonka nodded and told Ferrothorn, "Use Power Whip!" Ferrothorn's tendrils glowed green and slammed into Dusknoir, knocking it out as well.
The referee announced, "Dusknoir and Noctowl are unable to battle. The winners are Electivire and Ferrothorn!"
The MC shouted, "AND THAT MEANS MIKE AND WILLY MOVE TO THE NEXT BLOCK!"
The crowd cheered while Charlie cheered, "They did it! Way to go, guys!"
Veruca then said, "Soon it will be our turn, Augustus."
That's the chapter! Stay tuned for Veruca and Augustus' battle! Take care everyone!
