I'm very disappointed by the lack of reviews. I'll just put up whatever chapters I have completed and be done with this.
Chapter 4 – Boss Battle: VS Weavile
Jin blinked as the blizzard calmed and Weavile made its presence known. Its eyes were completely white. No color could be seen in them. What was up with that? It kept its arms folded as it stared at Jin, who seemed to be at a loss for words. Well…almost at a loss.
"YOU'RE A FREAKIN' GIRL?!" Jin shouted on impulse.
While most would consider that rude, Weavile merely laughed again and tugged gingerly on her left ear. "You sure know how to figure me out. Female Weavile and Sneasel have smaller ears than the males, but I'm sure you already knew that."
"Why were you stealing Pokémon eggs?" Jin demanded to know.
"I needed to eat," Weavile said in an I'm-better-than-you voice. "Got a problem with that, bird face?"
"Huh?!" Jin's eyes widened horribly. "You…you…?!"
"Yes. They've always been my primary diet. And why change such a good thing? My personal preference was always fire Pokémon eggs (Jin gulped at this comment), but I thought I'd try a little something different."
Jin grimaced. "The eggshells in the cave…"
"Unfortunately, those grass eggs made for a sorry meal. As you know by now, those eggs were nowhere near fresh and now look what I had to put up with! Little Cacnea just wouldn't stop screaming, so I had to get it to shut up somehow. And as always, my Blizzard attack worked like a charm!"
"Unfreeze Ludicolo and Cacnea now!"
"Oh, so demanding. Why don't you just defrost them yourself, little man? Are you a fire type or not?"
Jin recoiled in surprise. He would defrost them…if he could. Did she possibly know…?
"Oh, wait," Weavile added, stroking her claws over her feathery collar, "I'd totally forgotten. You can't, can you? I'd heard a juicy tidbit from the townsfolk that you can't use fire attacks.But of course, I wanted to hear it from the Horsea's mouth since it sounded so ridiculous."
Jin narrowed his eyes. "It's true…I can't use any fire attacks whatsoever…no matter how hard I try, I'm all smoke and no singe. But that won't stop me from beating you."
"Hm?" Weavile raised an eyebrow.
"Weavile are dark and ice type Pokémon," Jin said, raising his claws. "As much as I don't like fighting girls, I think I can beat you with my fighting moves alone."
"You're a lively one," Weavile said, unfolding her arms. "Hopefully, you'll last longer than those two."
"You talk too much!" Jin shouted as he charged at Weavile and swung his claws at her, but Weavile narrowly dodged them by ducking back. Jin then swung out a Double Kick, but Weavile jumped into the air and formed a mass of black energy in her claws.
"Take this! Shadow Ball!" Weavile launched the Shadow Ball straight down at Jin, who leapt back before it exploded, sending him careening back further than intended. He fell on his back, cringing a bit as he tried to get up. He immediately felt a slicing pain across his chest, however and screamed to the sky. A lot of his feathers were torn off due to Weavile's Slash attack.
"Don't tell me you're done already?" Weavile said, licking her claws. "Maybe you should at least try to learn Ember before taking me on."
"I may not know any fire attacks," Jin said, defiantly, springing back to his feet, "but I'm just getting warmed up! HERE!" Jin dug his claws into the ground and threw a handful of sand into Weavile's face.
"ACK! You little…RRGH! How dare you!" Weavile struggled hard to wipe the Sand Attack from her eyes, but before she could, Jin was already back on his feet.
"Let's try this again! Double Kick!" Jin launched himself into the air, extending his right leg first, sending Weavile tumbling back too quick for the second one to connect. However, before Jin could connect a second Double Kick attack, Weavile ducked out of the way and Jin slammed into the rock wall, making a nice-sized dent.
"OW! Owowowow…" Jin hobbled a bit as he got his foot out of the wall. He noticed that Weavile was gone again and looked around anxiously, in case of another sneak attack.
"Over here, boy!" Weavile was up in the air, charging up another Shadow Ball. When she sent it flying down his way, Jin had to hide behind a rock formation to dodge the Shadow Ball.
"I don't think I can keep this up much longer," Jin said to himself. "My power is too low and I haven't recovered enough from that fight with Onix…wait!" Jin opened up his toolbox, and swallowed the Oran Berry inside, reminding himself to thank Ludicolo and Cacturne later.
Weavile was growing impatient of Jin keeping her waiting behind those rocks. She folded her arms and narrowed her eyes. Before she could decide to go back there, she froze. She felt a sort of heat generating from behind the rocks. What? That's Focus Energy!
Jin leapt out from behind the rock formation and charged at Weavile, who looked nothing less than shocked. He shouldn't be able to move this fast! That power must've come from the Focus Energy attack. Before she could think of a response, she had to move back again to avoid Jin's Scratch attack, but not enough to avoid him plucking one of the feathers from her collar.
"What's the matter, lady?" Jin said. "You asked if I was going to last longer, so what are you waiting for?"
Weavile growled angrily, letting loose a huge Blizzard attack. Jin raised his arms again, watching carefully for any movement, even from the air. But this time, Weavile was fully prepared. Using the blizzard to her advantage, Weavile snuck up from behind Jin and raised her claws, but Jin wasn't having any of that. He immediately reached behind and grabbed her by the hand and swung her over his shoulder, slamming her into the wall. This was then followed up by a Double Kick, which connected both times this time, leaving a nice Weavile-shaped crater in the rock wall. Eventually, the blizzard stopped and Weavile came out of her little crater and fell face down. Jin stepped back, beside himself about his impressive strength.
"Let's try this again," Jin said, going on a whim. He took a deep breath and shot out…a puff of smoke. He sulked in disappointment. "…Even after all that, I still can't do it. Well, I guess this time it's understandable. Those Blizzard attacks made the air too cold. I can't get my flames to work like this. Still…nothing like a good smoke."
At that point, Jin heard a groan. He walked back to Weavile and turned her over as she opened her eyes. What was strange now was that they were no longer colorless, but returned to their natural red.
"Uh…what happened?" Weavile said, groggily, putting a hand to her head. This voice was not the same vicious voice as before, but a somewhat warmer voice. Somewhat. "Can't remember…anything…"
"How dumb do you think I am?" Jin said in a huff.
Weavile looked at Jin with a confused look in her eyes. "Who are you…and why does my body hurt so bad?"
Jin's eyes widened. "You really don't remember anything? Anything at all?"
Weavile struggled to raise her right arm. "I…don't…think…" Whatever she was going to say couldn't be finished. Weavile fainted, but Jin had already put a hand under her head before she fell asleep.
"Well, at least this mess is settled," Jin said, before turning to the still frozen Ludicolo and Cacnea. "Now, what am I going to do with those two?"
