Hey everybody, here is the next chapter of An Oshawott's New Beginning! I hope my readers are enjoying this story so far, and I am open to all suggestions, story wise. Well in this chapter, we arrive in Accumula Town and guess who's there? Team Plasma, Ghetsis, and N! Man I hate these hypocrites, well not N cause he's just really a nice guy who only wants people be friends with Pokemon…who grew up thinking this wasn't possible since Ghetsis only allowed him to see Pokemon that were hurt by humans. It took a long time, and some help from XEmpoleon of LightX but, here it is!
Chapter 3: The Hypocritical Team Plasma
After a long nights rest, Justin and his Pokemon had awoken around eight in the morning. Justin was getting dressed and packing an on the go breakfast for Ty and Oliver, while Oliver and Ty were just waking up, though Ty was only half-awake.
Justin noticed Oliver had awoken first, greeting his Oshawott, "Good morning Oliver!"
Oliver was the first to be out of bed, smiling at Justin after he stretched. "Oshaaa! Oshawott!" (Yaaaawn! Morning Justin!) He greeted him, waving his little arms signifying he wanted a hug.
Justin picked up Oliver and hugged his Oshawott, telling him, "I bet you're ready to get out there and see more of the world!" He held out Oliver in front of him.
"Oshaaa!" (You bet your life I am!) Oliver excitedly replied to Justin. He had always wanted to travel and see more of the Unova region.
"Hahaha, I thought you'd say something like that, buddy!" Justin responded with a hint of laughter. He noticed Ty was finally up. "Morning, Ty! Sleep well?"
Ty rubbed his eyes as he replied, "Quiiil…," (Meh, alright I guess…,) He looked at Oliver, looking slightly annoyed. "Quilava!" (I would've slept better if a certain someone wasn't hogging my bed space!)
Oliver responded with a nervous chuckle, apologizing, "Oshaaaaa…" (Uh huh huh huh sorry, Ty…)
Justin grabbed his backpack, opened the door, and set down Oliver. "Well now that you two are up and about, let's get going! We're not too far from Accumula Town now. I actually read about these Battle Clubs last night and there's one right in Accumula Town!" He told his two Pokemon.
Hearing battle instantly sparked an interest in Ty. Ty wondered, "Lava! Quilava?" (Awesome! We'll check it out right?)
"Of course we will, Ty! I know how much you love to battle!," Justin answered to Ty. He looked down at Oliver and spoke to him as well. "It'll also be good for you, Oliver. It'll help you gain a little more experience if you feel you need any."
Oliver smiled at Justin, replying, "Oshawott." (I could definitely use a little more experience.)
"Great, well enough idle chit chat! I got breakfast to go, I already checked us out, and we're about an hour away from Accumla Town. So let's go already!" Justin said as he walked out of the room, also handing both of his Pokemon their breakfast. The trio walked down the hall and back into the main lobby. Before exiting the Pokemon Center, Justin thanked Nurse Joy for allowing them to stay at the Pokemon Center.
The trio walked down the route passing a few Audino and Lilipup along the way. The group was enjoying themselves as they traveled down the path, Ty and Oliver enjoying their breakfast while Justin hummed a tune he had stuck in his head.
After an hour and a half, Oliver and Ty were finished eating and chatting a bit now. Oliver asked Ty, "Hey Ty…I was wondering just why do you like to battle so much?"
Ty smirked at Oliver, answering his question, "Heh heh heh! I'm just very good at it, Oliver! I told you already that there's nothing I enjoy more than goofing around with my friends and kicking butt!"
"I hope someday I can be as good as you! That'd be so cool!" Oliver hoped.
"You'll be as strong as me someday! I mean, seriously dude! You managed to take down that Snivy and you were at a disadvantage!"
Oliver smiled, remembering his victory over Snivy. "It sure felt good to defeat that jerk, and letting him know I'm not weak!" Oliver rejoiced.
"Yeah, he sure got the message alright!"
As they continued to walk down the route, Justin was wondering something. He remembered in his battle with Blake, Oliver used a move he had never seen before. He asked him, "Hey Oliver, I noticed yesterday that you used some move that utilized the shell on your stomach like a sword. What was that?"
Oliver looked up at Justin, replying, "Osha?" (You mean this?) He grabbed his scalchop and charged it up, causing it to gain a blue energy aura in the shape of a sword.
Ty watched Oliver perform the move, saying, "Laaava!" (Talk about awesome!)
Justin pulled out his Pokedex as he watched Oliver perform some uppercuts and slashes, making sure not to hit Justin or Ty. Justin said, "Huh, so that's Razor Shell? That move looked very awesome, and it definitely proved effective in battle! That move will definitely come in handy!"
Oliver thanked Justin, "Oshawott! Osha Oshawott!" (Thanks! I've been working very hard on my swordsman ship!) He placed the scalchop back on his stomach.
"The more you practice, the better you get! We'll definitely do some training in the club when we get to Accumula Town." Justin encouraged Oliver. The trio continued to walk along the route, until the city finally came into view. Justin exclaimed, "There it is! Accumula Town!"
Ty looked out at the large and vibrantly colored city, lush with greenery. He said, "Lava!" (Wow, what a huge town!) He had jumped up onto Justin's back. Oliver had done the same.
They had finally entered Accumula Town, which was fairly busy as Justin walked along the sidewalk. He said, "Alright, I should check the map for the Battle Club. Definitely our first stop!" He noticed he had passed the Pokemon Center and a few shops.
Oliver said as he watched Justin scan the map through his pokegear, "Oshaaa. Osha!" (It could be anywhere in this place. This place is pretty big!) He was amazed by the town, though it reminded him of Nuvema Town a little.
The trio continued to search for the Battle Club. Ty was getting a little anxious and jumpy, wondering, "Quuuiiilava?" (C'mon where is the Battle Club?)
Justin was still searching for it on his pokegear, telling Ty, "Chill out, Ty! We'll find it soon."
As Justin walked down the streets of Accumula Town, he noticed a rather crowd of people gathered around a stage. On the stage were eight men and women dressed in grey, white, and black outfits that resembled those of a medieval knight. On each end of the stage was a flag that had a crest of a 'P' with a 'Z' through it with a half black-half white background.
Justin said to himself, "I gotta check this out." He entered the crowd with Ty and Oliver, trying to get closer to the front. Justin was wondering what was going on, trying to figure it out by asking others. "Hey, do you have any idea what's going on here?"Justin asked a man who stood near by.
The man turned around, coming face to face with Justin. He had long green hair under his black and white baseball cap, as well as blue eyes. He wore white shirt over a slightly longer black one, and a pair of tan khaki pants, along with a pair of green shoes. He wore a couple bracelets on each arm, a necklace around his neck, and attached to his pants by a chain was a cube with holes in the middle of each side. He answered to Justin, "An important speech is about to be given by a man known as Ghetsis Harmonia, a very charismatic man I'd say. I heard his speech will revolutionize the way we humans think about Pokemon."
"Huh?" Justin replied to the man. He stood in the crowd, after talking to the green haired man. "Revolutionize the way humans think about Pokemon! I wonder where this is gonna go."
Ty whined, "Lavaaaa! Quilava?" (Aw c'mon! Do we really have to sit here and listen to this Harmonia dude give a speech?)
"I just want to hear what this guy has to say, Ty. Just relax!" Justin replied to Ty.
Oliver also said, "Osha." (Yeah, just relax.)
Ty crossed his arms, pouting, "Laaavaaaa!" (Ohhh c'mon, I wanna get to the Battle Club!)
A man about fifty years old walked up onto the stage. He had long blonde hair and red eyes, one of which he wore a red eyepiece over. He wore a strange robe that was colored blue and yellow with a pattern resembling two eyes on each side with other markings. The top of this robe resembled castle battlements. "My name is Ghetsis Harmonia. I am here representing Team Plasma.," The strange man introduced himself.
The instant Justin heard the word 'Team' he knew something wasn't right. He sighed, "You gotta be kidding me…Another team, another evil goal to take over the world and what not…"
"Today, ladies and gentleman, I would like to talk to you about Pokemon liberation."
Everyone in the audience sounded confused, chattering amongst themselves. They wondered what Ghetsis meant by Pokemon liberation.
"Pokemon liberation!"
"What?"
Justin was confused, quietly muttering to himself, "What the hell! Pokemon liberation!"
Ty was suddenly interested in what Ghetsis was saying, not having any clue what he was saying. Oliver as well listened to the speech.
Ghetsis continued his speech, moving from one side of the stage as he Plasma Grunts moved back for him. "That's right! We must liberate the Pokemon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokemon truly be equals."
Justin was now shocked, and getting annoyed by this mans unusual ideas. He muttered, "What is this nonsense! Liberating Pokemon to make them equal?"
Ty was getting annoyed as well, instantly agreeing with Justin. "Quilava! Lava!" (Pokemon don't need liberation! I'm happy the way I am, and that's with you, Justin!) He said, looking up at Justin who patted him on the head.
"Oshawott…" (I don't need to be liberated in order to feel equal…) Oliver said to himself.
"Now, ladies and gentleman, Pokemon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokemon?"
"What could it be?"
"Liberation"
Justin was just shocked by the fact that people were falling for Ghetsis. Justin further more couldn't believe some of the things he was hearing this strange man say.
"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokemon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans…only assume that this is the truth? Pokemon are subjects to the selfish commands of Trainers…They get pushed around when they are our "partners" at work…Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?"
"No way!"
"Yikes!"
"I don't know…"
Justin couldn't stand to hear Ghetsis anymore, feeling angered by the way he was stereotyping trainers as selfish people who only enslave Pokemon. He clenched his fists and he stepped forward with Ty and Oliver. He proclaimed out loud, "I'm one hundred percent sure that your speech has hardly any ounce of truth in it! If you ask me, the words I just heard you spew is nothing but nonsense!"
The crowd behind Justin gasped, and instantly began to pay attention to him.
Ghetsis heard Justin, and immediately turned his attention. "You? You arrogant fool dare speak out against me?"
"I'm not afraid to stand up against you, better yet stand up for others and my own Pokemon. The only thing you're doing is just creating a stereotype that all trainers treat their Pokemon as slaves and nothing else. Does anyone else get what I'm saying?"
"A stereotype?" Someone in the crowd answered.
"It kinda makes senses."
Justin continued his counter argument, "Although I must agree that some trainers may push their Pokemon too hard, every trainer has a pure heart, somewhere inside. You're just looking at what's outside. While some trainers could care less about the bond them and their Pokemon share, better yet even bonding with them; most trainers, inside their hearts, know that they have a powerful bond with that Pokemon that will never break, no matter what condition!"
Ty threw his fist into the air. "LAVAAAA!" (YEAH YOU TELL HIM, JUSTIN!) He shouted in response to Justin.
Ghetsis argued back against Justin, "Your ignorance amuses me, young boy. You like everyone else here only assume that trainers and Pokemon live together because we want and need each other, and your Pokemon are always subjected to your own selfish orders. They have only been brainwashed to follow…"
"It may be an assumption to you, but the truth is that our Pokemon can make their own decisions in their own will! If they wanted to stay with a trainer, they will, and if they didn't, they can choose to leave. If my good buddy Ty wanted leave me for his own reasons, I would let him go if it was for the best! Oh, also it's not your responsibility to look after our Pokemon." Justin interrupted him.
"How do you know that you're not the one who's choosing for them, and commanding them like they're tools of war? All you're doing is enslaving them in those horrid devices, and pretending to call them your friends!," Ghetsis insinuated.
"You're right. We're not friends," Justin said as a silence fell upon the crowd. "We're best friends," He said which a couple people applauded him for. "As I said, not all trainers in the world uses their Pokemon as 'tools of war' as you claim, and no trainer truly hates their Pokemon. Though they may show it, they don't truly hate. When Ty was abused by his former trainer, the trainer still realized that he was wrong at the end as he is now in jail, paying for his crimes against Pokemon."
"Wow, this guy really has me thinking!" A person in the crowd said.
Justin continued, "Together me and my Pokemon are an unstoppable force as best friends and we've been that way forever, and that's how long we'll stay: Together and forever more!"
Ty nodded, saying, "Lava lava!" (You got that right, we're the best of friends and nothing will ever ruin that!)
Oliver hugged Justin's leg. "Oshaaaa!" (I definitely made no mistake in joining you!)
More people applauded Justin, which was starting to anger Ghetsis, who was quietly growling under his breath.
"Yeah! Pokemon are our friends!" Someone in the crowd said.
"How could you even consider Pokemon as tools of war?"
Justin looked back, smiling at the crowd. He then turned backed to Ghetsis. "Also, I know that I'm definitely not choosing for my Pokemon. As an example, it's similar to a marriage where both man and woman together make decisions. In a healthy relationship if one of them doesn't agree, they'll compromise. As do I for my Pokemon. For example, if I was to tell Ty to use Flamethrower he'd do it if he agreed with my decision and if he trusted me. If he didn't want to, he'd let me know and we'd take a different approach." He noticed Ty was nodding in agreement.
A trainer shouted out, "Me and my Pokemon are the same way!"
"Yeah, that's exactly how me and my Pokemon work!"
Ghetsis responded back growling upon hearing people actually agreed with Justin, "That may be your case, but don't speak for every other trainer here. And I'm certainly not going to go around, asking everyone. So, there leaves one option. Pokemon liberation."
"Our Pokemon don't want liberation, you weirdo!" A member from the crowd shouted.
"Yeah, get off the stage!"
A girl in the crowd about Justin's age stepped forward, saying, "Just who, exactly, do you think you are! After hearing your speech, you shouldn't be talking about someone speaking for others!," She had red spiky hair and a pair of sunglasses covered her eyes. She wore a pair of jeans, boots, and a orange puffy vest over a maroon shirt. "You're the one who is acting like you speak for all Pokemon, and acting like you think you know what all Pokemon want!"
Justin, Ty, and Oliver noticed the girl who was accompanied by a Glameow. He felt thrilled to know to know there weremore people supporting him, particularly this girl. "Yeah, seriously! I really should've pointed that out a while ago! That's just ignorant to think that you know what all Pokemon want. To be honest, I may not know what all Pokemon want, other than my own. I'm not saying that I do know what all Pokemon want, other than to be treated with respect, care, and all of the above, but I certainly know that all Pokemon don't want liberation!" He agreed with the girl.
Oliver and Ty applauded both Justin and this girl. Ty shouted out, "Lavaaa!" (Yeah! We don't want liberation!)
Oliver nodded in response, saying, "Oshawott?" (Why can't this strange man understand that?)
"That may be the case with you. But not all people are alike. As I was saying, pokeballs are nothing more than devices that brainwash Pokemon into following their trainers selfish whims, robbing them of their free will." Ghetsis insinuated.
Justin was just speechless, not being able to make any sense out of the counter argument Ghetsis just made, as well as most of the crowd. He said, "Okay, you seriously just said, that may be the case with you?"
The girl responded, "That doesn't make any sense! You were just accused of being ignorant to think you know what all Pokemon want, and the response you gave was completely irrelevant!" Her response really caused some commotion among the crowd. More and more of the crowd of about thirty people were believing that Ghetsis was crazy.
"Yeah! And you claim that pokeballs only brainwash Pokemon? I haven't even heard any proof to support that claim!"
"Yeah, and how can you prove that Pokemon who don't even stay in a pokeball are even brainwashed. And if you're gonna go as far to say that poke balls, only brainwash Pokemon, then what about your own Pokemon?"
Ghetsis growled under his breath. "Some Pokemon aren't capable of resisting the powers of those horrid devices, and you people brutally beating these poor creatures so you can capture and enslave them is what breaks their will to resist, causing the pokeballs to brainwash and keep them linked to the device. My Pokemon have willingly joined me on their own will, unlike most of you."
Justin and the girl were utterly shocked by what Ghetsis had said. "Okay, first of all, it's true some people will go ahead and attack an innocent Pokemon in order to catch it, but not all captures happen this way. Pokemon have a choice if they want to join a trainer, as I said. Some Pokemon actually will go ahead and challenge a trainer, and sometimes they might be looking for a trainer who is tough enough for them, and if they're beaten, they'd gladly accept them as their trainer, which is why some don't resist pokeballs. Then there's the Pokemon that actually want to join a trainer, and willingly join," Justin replied.
The girl continued what Justin had said, "Yeah, I agree! And what is this nonsense about brainwashing? You haven't given one ounce of proof that pokeballs brainwash Pokemon yet, which is really annoying me. Pokemon need strength to break free of a pokeball they're not linked to and if they have the will power, they will try to break free and possibly run away or continue to fight. It's not your so-called 'brainwashing' that forces them to be caught!"
The crowd still wanted to hear proof of the brainwashing abilities of pokeballs, and by now, Ghetsis only had a couple supporters in the crowd.
"Exactly! And seriously, I can't believe how arrogant you could be to say that your Pokemon have willingly joined you, but our Pokemon haven't! My good buddy Ty here was abused as I said. And I'm not kidding as I'm saying this." Justin glared at Ghetsis. "He suffered a near fatal gun shot, and if it hadn't been for me risking my life to save him and rush him to a Pokemon Center, he wouldn't be the happy-go-lucky Quilava he is today! He joined me because he wanted to!" Justin smiled at Ty, who instantly smiled back in joy. "And you know I'd do it all again for you, Ty!," Justin told his Quilava, smiling.
The girl added, "My Glameow also willingly joined me after me and my friend Ms. Senior, found her in an abandoned alley. We took care of Glameow and she eventually decide to join me, purely out of her own will!"
Justin was also hearing some other stories about some of the starter Pokemon that members of the crowd had, and their other Pokemon. He said, "Yeah, and little Oliver here was just desperate for a friend after being rejected several times. He requested that I let him join."
Oliver smiled at Justin, saying, "Oshawott!" (And it's a choice I'll never regret!)
Justin noticed how enraged Ghetsis looked, saying, "You sir I believe have just lost this battle. Unless you want to continue to make a fool out of yourself."Ghetsis was just speechless, and enraged to be called a fool by this trainer. He retorted, "I haven't lost this battle, as the battle is only beginning! We shall fight a double battle. Uou two verses me."
Justin was silent for a moment, until starting to laugh, "Ahahaha! Ahahaha! AHAHAHAHAAHA! You want to battle ME! You won't stand a chance!"
"I'll accept your challenge! It'll be worth it to see the look on your face when you lose the entire fight!"
Ghetsis pulled out two pokeballs, calling out his Pokemon, "Zweilous and Palpitoad! Let us prove to these fools how foolish they are."
The two-headed dinosaur like Pokemon, and the blue frog like one emerged from their Pokeballs, ready to battle.
Oliver looked at the two Pokemon, a little bit intimidated. He said to Justin, "O-Osha…" (T-They sure do look tough…)
Justin smirked as he looked at the two Pokemon. He said, "Heh heh, they're not too tough for us!," He looked down at Ty, who already had his flames ignited. "Ty, are you ready to show this freak what we're made of?"
Ty looked back at Justin, grinning and giving him a thumbs up. "Lava!" (Yeah, we'll show him the real power of teamwork!)
"Glameow, curtain!" the girl told her Glameow.
Glameow jumped out in front of girl, next to Ty. "Mrroooow!" (Let's take down this fool with our mesmerizing skills!)
Justin looked at girl, telling her, "This shouldn't be too hard."
"Let's not get too cocky…But as long as we work together we can easily overpower this weirdo!" she responded, confident they could defeat Ghetsis. "By the way, the name's Zoey."
"Justin is my name.," Justin responded to Zoey. He faced Ghetsis and his Pokemon, saying "Now let's get this show on the road!" The crowd stood on the sidelines, wondering how this double battle would go.
Ghetsis started out the battle, "Palpitoad use Mud Shot. Zweilous use Dragon Breath!"
Paliptoad fired multiple balls of mud from its mouth, while Zweilous fired a yellowish breath from its two mouths.
Justin instructed Ty, "Alright Ty, you know what to do! Counter it with Flame Wheel and Flamethrower!"
Ty replied, "Lava!" (Alright!) Justin and Zoey watched as Ty used Flame Wheel and Flamethrower at the same time. The result created fire-like whips around Ty as he curled up in a spinning ball of fire, deflecting both attacks.
Zoey was amazed by the combination, gasping in amazement, "Wow! What an effective combo!"
Ty then uncurled himself, unleashing multiple fireballs from the attack, which rained down on Ghetsis's Pokemon scoring direct hits.
Justin cheered, "Yes! That was excellent Ty!"
The crowd cheered on for Justin and Zoey.
Ghetsis was angered by his moves being deflected so easily, ordering Palpitoad, "Gah! You won't get away with that! Palpitoad use Mud Shot to eradicate the flame balls, then Zweilous use Fire Blast!"
Zweilos fired from its two mouths a blast of fire the formed into a kanji symbol, while Paliptoad fired multiple balls of mud from its mouth.
Justin ordered Ty, "Dig and follow up with Flamethrower!"
Ty dug down to avoid the Fire Blast, and began to tunnel underneath to attack Zweilous.
Zoey ordered Glameow, "Use your tail to jump and dodge it!" She watched as Glameow jumped up in the air, however Paliptoad continue to attack, smirking as a new opportunity opened up. "Watch this! Glameow use Shock Wave!"
Glameow used Shock Wave, which gathered up the Mud Shot and connected them all and suspending them in the air, linked together by an electric shock in the form of a star.
The audience was in awe of the combo move, and Ghetsis was shocked, though distracted from Ty.
Zoey told Justin, "You gotta get your Quilava's Flamethrower to hit the combo I created, it'll really bring the shock and awe effect to the crowd!"
"Trying to show off your skills, eh. I'll complete the combo! Ty use Flamethrower!"
Ty burst from the ground, doing a flip in mid air. He then blasted his fiery breath, hitting Zweilous and also the combo Glameow had created, causing it to explode with a firework effect.
The crowd was in awe as the Mud Bomb-Shock Wave combo exploded into a firework display.
Justin was amazed as well, saying, "Wow that was incredible!"
Zoey replied with a smirk on her face, "Thanks, it's really done me well in contests."
Ghetsis gasped, "Gah! What is the meaning of this?" None the less, he wasn't gonna give up. "Zweilous use Focus Blast on both of them, Palpitoad use Water Gun on that Quilava!"
Justin ordered Ty, "Dodge it, Ty and follow up with Flamethrower!" His goal was to distract Ghetsis and take his attention off of Glameow.
Zoey ordered Glameow, "Glameow use your tail again!"
Zweilous fired two light blue orbs out of its mouths, one at Ty, and the other at Glameow. Both successfully dodged the attack, Ty slid to the left to dodge while Glameow used her tail as a spring to jump.
Ghetsis was getting more and more angry as the two Pokemon he was up against consistently dodged attacks, however he managed to get lucky as Palpitoad's Water Gun managed to hit Ty just as he was dodging, though Ty's Flamethrower also scored a direct hit.
The blast of water knocked Ty back, rolling on the ground however, he instantly got back up, grinning. "What!" Ghetsis gasped in shock.
As Ty quickly made his way back for Justin, Justin explained, "Our training together had given Ty the ability to handle certain disadvantages, reducing damage taken on by water type attacks." Justin turned to Zoey. "Now Zoey!"
Zoey ordered Glameow, who had landed on the ground, "Glameow use Shock Wave!"
Justin ordered Ty, "Let's follow up with Flamethrower, Ty!"
Ghetsis ordered Zweilous, "Quick, Zweilous! Wash away the madness with Surf!"
Zweilous formed a massive wave and sent it straight at Ty and Glameow, riding on the wave. Oliver was impressed by the move, saying to himself, "Oshawott." (If only I could use a move like that.)
Justin and Ty looked at each other, instantly nodding at each other. Ty then dug underground.
Zoey said to Justin, "If you're ever put in a pickle like this and your Pokemon can't do as your Quilava would, just do as I do." She proceeded to show Justin exactly what she meant. "Glameow use Iron Tail!"
Glameow's tail began to glow white and as the wave was about to hit, she slammed her tail down on the wave, separating the wave and causing to crash far to the far left and right of her, also adding a mist effect.
The crowd applauded Glameow's attack, but they wondered what Ty's next move would be.
"Wow! These two can really fight!"
"That Glameow's skill is marvelous!"
"That Quilava sure is one tricky foe!"
Ghetsis was flabbergasted to see Glameow had countered so easily, and that Ty was gone. "Gah! You won't get away with that, and your Quilava won't surprise me again! Palpitoad use Earthquake! Zweilous use another Focus Blast on Galmeow!"
Justin ordered Ty, "Ty, use Flare Blitz!"
Zoey ordered Glameow, knowing that Quilava would be hurt if Earthquake was used, "Glameow, let's help out Justin's Quilava with Fake Out!"
As Zweilous recovered from the attack, Palpitoad attempted to stomp on the ground, however Glameow charged at Palpitoad, dodging the Focus Blast. She jumped up close to Palpitoad causing it to flinch, and then Glameow clapped her paws, which sent a shockwave out that knocked Paliptoad, and enraging Ghetsis.
Justin shouted out for Ty, "Now Ty! Flare Blitz!"
Ty burst from the ground cloaked in fire, and managed to score a direct hit on Palpitoad, knocking it out, causing the crowd to applaud Ty's achievement.
Justin cheered, "Yeah! Way to go Ty!"
Ty celebrated for a little bit, doing a little dance. He looked back at Justin, shouting back, "Laaaavaaaa!" (Hahaaaa, we're really kicking it today!)
Oliver applauded Ty as well, "Oshaaawott!" (That was awesome, Ty!)
Justin thanked Zoey, "Smart thinking, Zoey!"
"Yeah, thanks. But the fight isn't over yet! Let's finish this off!" Zoey replied. She watched as Glameow rejoined their side as well as Ty, ordering Glameow, "Alright, Glameow! Use Shadow Claw!"
Ghetsis ordered Zweilous, "Zweilous use Focus Blast!"
Zweilous fired two Focus Blasts, one at Ty and the other at Glameow. Glameow charged at Zweilous, with a shadowy claw extending from her paw, and she used the claw to shatter the orb, and continued for Zweilous.
Justin ordered Ty, "Ty use Dig! Then let's try and confuse that Zweilous!"
Ty nodded to Justin, then he dug down under to avoid the Focus Blast, then he cloned himself a few times in order to confuse Zweilous.
Ghetsis ordered Zweilous, as Glameow was about to strike, "Use Dragon Breath!"
Zweilous breathed two streams of a yellow breath at Glameow and before she could slash through it with Shadow Claw, Zweilous hit first, knocking Glameow backwards.
Zoey gasped, "Glameow!" She watched as Glameow got back up on all four paws. "Glameow are you alright?"
Glameow replied, "Mrrroooow." (I haven't given up before and I'm not about to give up now, Zoey.)
Justin watched as Ty dug back up, revealing himself and four other clones. Ghetsis gasped, "Gah! Double Team? This Quilava's trickery is a true nuisance!"
Justin told Zoey, "Let's finish this right here and now." He looked over at her, noticing she nodded. He then gave out his next attack order to Ty. "Alright, Ty! Let's finish this off with Flare Blitz!"
Ty and the clones launched themselves at Zweilous.
Ghetsis and Zweilous were utterly confused as to which one was the real Ty. Ghetsis ordered Zweilous, "We won't fall to these fools! Zweilous use Dragon Breath on all of them!"
Glameow was able to pick out the real Ty easily, and as Ty and the clones launched themselves into the Dragon Breath, Zoey ordered Glameow, "Glameow fight back the Dragon Breath with Shockwave, and then follow up with an Iron Tail!"
As Ty and the clones rocketed at Zweilous as it breathed its yellow breath. The breath instantly took out the clones, however Glameow used Shockwave to stop the move, allowing Ty to continue and to attack.
Ghetsis raged, "No! It can't be!"
Glameow then joined Ty and with a glowing white tail, she struck the twin dino Pokemon, while Ty hit it with Flare Blitz, knocking it out.
Ty took minor recoil damage, but he soon got up, he began to dance a little until he noticed Justin, and ran up to him and Oliver cheering, "QUUUIIILAVA!" (YAHOOOOO WE DID IT!)
Justin smiled in triumph Ty had leapt into his arms hugging his trainer, "Yeah, victory is ours! Hahaaaa!" He hugged Ty back. "Ty you were amazing!"
As Zoey congratulated Glameow and celebrated, Oliver began to go all fan boy on Ty, excitedly congratulating him, "Osha osha OSHA! Oshawott!" (Oh man that was AWESOME! You were totally cool kicking their butts with Glameow!)
Ty smiled as he was praised for the victory, saying, "Quilava!" (Thanks guys!) He had also went over to thank Glameow for helping him.
Ghetsis was in shock, that he had just been defeated by these two trainers, returning Zweilous. He said, as he watched Justin and Zoey shake hands, "This can't be happening!" His Plasma Grunts were disappointed to see their spokesperson lose in battle. Ghetsis glared at the celebrating victors. "You win this round, but be warned! Change will occur and Team Plasma shall prevail!" He grumbled.
Justin remarked, as Ty was sticking out his tongue and making faces at Ghetsis while Oliver mimicked him, "Hmph! Yeah right!"
Ghetsis ordered his team to move out of the area, grabbing the banners on their way out. They walked down the street and out of sight. After Team Plasma was gone, the crowd began to applaud and cheer for Justin and Zoey.
"You guys sure showed him!"
"I can't believe we even listened to his nonsense! Pokemon don't need liberation!"
"Outstanding job!"
As Justin, Ty, Oliver, Zoey, and Glameow basked in the glory of their victory, Justin thanked the crowd, "Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Zoey just smiled at the crowd while thanking them for their applause, waving out to those who praised her skills. "We couldn't have done it without each other." She said, smiling at Justin.
As the crowd began to disperse, Justin, Ty, and Oliver were about ready to head on down to the Battle Club. Before he left he said to Zoey, "I gotta thank you, Zoey! If you hadn't came into this argument and aided me in defeating Ghetsis, well…I'm sure a couple of people would've probably fallen for Ghetsis's speech and released their Pokemon."
"I just couldn't stand back and listen after hearing some of the things he was saying. He's just absolutely crazy, and I honestly think that he looks like the type that would go out and capture the Pokemon that were released for himself!"
Ty and Oliver nodded in response to Zoey.
Justin agreed, "Oh, definitely! He called his organization Team Plasma, and from past experience I notcied that any organization that starts with team, always has a hidden agenda of evil plans." He noticed that Zoey had nodded. "Well anyway, would you actually like to join me in the Battle Club? Maybe have a battle of our own?"
Ty jumped up throwing his fist into the air, saying with joy, "Laaavaaaa!" (Yeaaaah, finally we're going!)
Zoey, Oliver, and Glameow chuckled a bit upon Ty's reaction. Zoey said to Justin, "Your Quilava sure is an excitable Pokemon, also a really strong one!"
Justin and Ty smiled, however before they could say anything, a voice came from behind them. "Your words…They've really got me wondering…"
Justin, Ty, Oliver, Zoey, and Glameow turned around to find the green haired man Justin spoke to earlier. "Huh…Hey wait you!" Justin said to the man. "You're the one that told me that Ghetsis's speech will revolutionize the way we think about Pokemon. What in the world were you thinking!"
The man replied, "I did say that, but it really must make you wonder when his speech clashes with your views. It confuses me…"
Justin explained, "There's no reason to be confused, dude. His speech had hardly any truth and that's the bottom of it."
Zoey threw in, "Yeah, I hope you don't believe that Pokemon need liberation too."
The man replied to Zoey, observing their Pokemon, "I don't necessarily believe that Pokemon need liberation, and you do bring up a good point that not all Pokemon want liberation…But I just can't help wonder if Pokemon are truly happy with the way they are, especially being confined into pokeballs..."
Justin, his two Pokemon, and Zoey along with Glameow began to walk to the Battle Club as Justin checked his pokegear map. They were followed by the green haired man, who appeared to be a little bit older than them.
Justin continued the conversation as Ty jumped up onto his back and he picked up Oliver, "It honestly depends on how the Pokemon are treated by their trainer, and if a Pokemon doesn't want to be in a pokeball, they'll let you know."
Zoey agreed with Justin, "Yeah, it's a matter of a Pokemon's preference. Our Pokemon obviously don't like being inside a pokeball."
The man pondered their discussion as they walked down the streets. He introduced himself, "By the way, my name is N."
Justin introduced himself as well, "Hmm, N huh. Is N short for anything?"
N replied, "No…It's just N…"
"Well my names Justin." Justin also took the liberty to introduce his Pokemon. "And these are my good friends, Ty and Oliver." Ty and Oliver happily waved at N.
Zoey also introduced herself, "It's nice to meet you. My names Zoey, and who could forget about Glameow."
Glameow meowed, "Mrrrooow." (It's a pleasure.)
N has always had this connection with Pokemon, as he could tell what the three Pokemon were saying. He was confused, telling them, "Your Pokemon…Just now they were saying…"
Justin was kinda confused as to what N was talking about, wondering if he could understand their thoughts. "Uhhh what?"
N nodded in response to Justin, saying, "I can understand the thought and feelings of Pokemon. If only…It just saddens me to know that some trainers can't understand their Pokemon."
The Battle Club was now in site, being a large building green building with large glass windows. Ty was absolutely excited, much to Oliver's amusement.
Justin and Zoey were about ready to walk in, but they were still in the middle of a conversation with N. Justin responded to N, "I see. Well I for one can most certainly understand my Pokemon. You can think I don't know that if you want, but I definitely know my Pokemon."
N said, "Well if you don't mind, I would like to hear more…I would like to hear more of your Pokemon's voices. If I must ask, a battle?"
Justin walked into the Battle Club, followed by N and Zoey. He said, "Well here we are at the Battle Club. Let's go ahead and battle. One way to get to know a Pokemon is to battle work alongside them or against them, after all." The walked into the building and in the main lobby there was a few computers for trainers to register themselves.
A hefty man with short brown hair, bush eyebrows, and a large mustache approached the group. He wore black karate suit, with a red belt and highlights around the neck. He introduced himself, "Welcome to the Battle Club. My name is Don George, and I'm here for all your battling needs."
The group introduced themselves, and after Justin requested, "Hello, I would like to have a battle with N here. One on one."
Don George replied, "A one on one huh. Well I'll take you two to the arena immediately, and I'll referee your match."
Zoey said as they walked to the battle arena, followed by Glameow, "This should be interesting."
The group walked through the doors, and inside was the battle arena. The room had a place for spectators, as well as a scoreboard, which after imputing some data into a computer by Don George, showed Justin's and N's faces. Zoey sat down with Glameow to watch Justin and N battle, while the two of them went to one side of the battlefield.
Don George announced, "Okay, let's get this battle on the road! Go!"
It hasn't even been thirty minutes since Ty had battled against Ghetsis, alongside Glamoew. Justin had decided to ask Oliver, "Hey Oliver, do you wanna battle N?"
Oliver jumped down, saying as he hit the scalchop on his stomach, "Oshawott!" (I'll do it no doubt, Justin!)
Justin smiled, telling Oliver, "Alright, give it your best shot!"
N pulled out a pokeball, throwing it out, saying, "My friend, I need your help."
The Pokemon that was revealed was a purple and cream-colored cat like Pokemon, known as Purrloin. It meowed upon being called scanned Purrloin on his pokedex. "Purrloin, the Devious Pokemon. They steal from people for fun, but their victims can't help but forgive them. Their deceptively cute act is perfect." The pokedex informed Justin.
N mused over the pokedex, "A pokedex, eh?"
Justin replied, "Yeah I have a Pokedex. It's very useful in learning interesting facts about Pokemon."
N replied, "Those pokedexes only sorts Pokemon into categories or rules. It's rather revolting to sort Pokemon based on such facts…." He turned his attention back to the battle. "Anyway, Purrloin use Scratch!"
Justin thought N's opinion was rather unusual. He ordered Oliver, "Dodge it!"
Purrloin lunged at Oliver, trying to scratch him with his sharp claws, however Oliver jumped backwards. Purrloin tried again, however Oliver jumped up and landed behind Purrloin.
Justin gave Oliver his next order, "Great, now use Water Gun!"
Oliver replied, "Osha!" (I got it, Justin!) He then launched a blast of water at Purrloin, instantly striking the cat like Pokemon.
"Yeah, that was outstanding, Oliver!"
Oliver looked back at Justin, saying, "Osha!" (Hey thanks!)
N ordered Purrloin after asking if he was alright, "Purrloin use Growl and follow up with Shadow Ball."
Purrloin let out a growl, which intimidated Oliver a bit, lowering his attack power. Purrloin then fired a few purple orbs at Oliver.
Justin ordered Oliver, "Oliver, don't let that Purrloin intimidate you! Dodge and use Razor Shell"
Oliver jumped out of the way of one of the purple orbs, sliding to the left, then jumping up into the air. Purrloin fired one more, however it managed to strike Oliver right in the stomach, and knocking off his scalchop.
N knew that Oliver couldn't use Razor Shell without his scalchop, and he told Purrloin, "Quickly, my friend! After the scalchop!"
Justin reassured Oliver, "You're doing good Oliver! Just get back your scalchop and use Razor Shell!"
Zoey was watching the battle, commenting, "That Oshawott is pretty good for a beginner."
Oliver and Purrloin rushed to get the scalchop, Oliver reaching the scalchop just in time. Oliver managed to charge it up just in time to slash at Purrloin with the glowing energy blade.
Justin congratulated Oliver, "Way to go, Oliver!"
Oliver cheered as he put his scalchop back on his stomach, "Oshaaaa!" (Yahoo, I'm really getting the hang of this!)
N simply said before commanding Purrloin, "Never have I heard a Pokemon say such things…." He redirected his attention to Purrloin. "This isn't over yet, my friend. Use Scratch!"
Justin ordered Oliver, "Block it, Oliver!"
As Purrloin lunged at Oliver with it's sharpened claws, Oliver pulled his scalchop off of his stomach again and blocked the attack, and smacked Purrloin's claw away.
Justin told Oliver, "Great, now finish this with Tackle!" He knew it would take a second to charge the move up, so he had decided to go with another move.
Oliver quickly charged and rammed into Purrloin, knocking him out.
Don George announced, "Purrloin is unable to battle, that means Oshawott and Justin are the victors!"
Justin cheered as Zoey applauded him, "Yeah! Way to go Oliver!" He picked up his Oshawott, praising him for his victory. "You're getting better already, little buddy! You should be proud of yourself!"
Oliver gleed, "Oshawott oshawott!" (I'm really starting to get the hang of battling, thanks Justin!)
N had returned his Purrloin, saying, "I am sorry, my friend…" He approached Justin before he headed out of the building. "I must be going now. My Purrloin needs to be tended to, and I have important business to attend to."
"Well I guess I'll see you around, great battle!" Justin shook hands with N before N had walked away.
N thought to himself 'That Oshawott…I can't believe it…He honestly liked his trainer and wants to be with him…' N was utterly confused and it wasn't long before N had left the building.
Zoey and Glameow had joined Justin once more. Zoey complimented Justin, "Wow Justin, you're Oshawott sure shined out there on the battlefield." The two of them walked out of the battle arena
Justin thanked Zoey, "Hey thanks!"
As the two chatted, Oliver, Ty, and Glameow chatted amongst themselves as well. Oliver asked Ty, kidna excited to hear his opinion, "So Ty, what did you think? Did I do a good job out there?"
Ty replied, "Oliver, you sure showed that Purrloin! I can already tell you're getting stronger with every battle you fight!"
Glameow also said to Oliver, "I was impressed too, hon. You may be small, but you really pack a punch, HOWEVER, I will say that you could've easily deflected Purrloin's Shadow Ball using your own scalshop and sending it right back at Purrloin."
Oliver giggled to himself a bit before responding back. "Yeah I uh…I guess I could've, hehe. Well thanks, I'm glad to know I'm really doing good!"
"No problem, bud!" Ty replied to Oliver.
Justin and Zoey were continuing their chat in the lobby. Justin asked Zoey, "So now that that's done would you like to battle, or train with me or anything."
"Yeah, it'd be pretty cool if we could battle." Zoey replied. She sat down on a couch in the lobby, petting Glameow when Glameow walked up to her. "I was actually wondering if we could actually travel the Unova region together. I usually travel alone, but I thought we made an incredible team back when we were fighting that freak, Ghetsis! Maybe you could even be of some help to my own personal goals as well."
Justin agreed, "Yeah, we sure showed him! Haha!" He picked up Oliver and he sat down next to Zoey on the couch, Ty soon joining them. "And I seriously don't mind if you accompanied me either, but I gotta ask…What is your goal?"
"I'll tell ya soon enough." Zoey replied with a smile.
"Okay…Well anyways, it looks like it'll be you, me, and our Pokemon traveling the Unova region together!" The two shared a high five. Both of them, including the Pokemon seemed excited to be traveling together. "Well for now, let's get this party started!" Justin looked down at Ty. "You ready for some action, buddy?"
Ty jumped up off of the couch, excitedly replying, as he ignited his flames suddenly, "Lava!" (Yeah, time to rock and roll!)
Oliver giggled to himself, "Oshaaaaaa!" (Hehehehe, Ty sure does love to battle!)
The two had left the lobby after asking Don George to referee the match. The match had ended in a tie much to the surprise of both of them. After the battle, the two of them and their Pokemon continued to train with each other, and Oliver was starting to gain much more confidence in his abilities and growing less nervous about taking on the gym. After a couple hours, the two and their Pokemon had left the Accumula Town Battle Club, and made some stops for supply and lunch before headed out of Accumula Town.
Well this chapter contained some awesome moments! I just had to have a massive argument against Ghetsis, which has only been done once prior to this story. I introduced Zoey who will travel with Justin(her purpose will be revealed soon), and I got in two awesome battles!
Alright, next time! While traveling along Route 2, the gang finds themselves robbed by a gang of notorious Pokemon. Most importantly, Oliver's scalchop has been taken. By this gang. Though it may seem as a filler, we have a capture in this chapter for Justin! Then right after that chapter we got the Striation City Gym!
