Sorry bout the long wait on the starter suspense but meh I'm new at this so I'll try speed things up lol, well anyway, here's chapter 4. Finally i can sleep!
Samantha and Alex couldn't help laughing loudly at Dylan sprawled on the ground. At least his Bulbasaur looked happy.
Hiding a smile behind his hands, Oak turned to Samantha and Alex saying "This time things will be a bit more distracting. Both of ye shall commence at the same time. This will show the two of ye how important focus is, so without further adieu, this will be a battle between Samantha Jewel from Dewford Town and Alex Hunter from Cinnibar Island, against there opponents Chimchar and Mudkip. Begin!"
Samantha nodded and threw forth her Pokeball all the while watching a blue blur darting about in front of her.
A flash of light to the right of her indicated the appearance of Alex's Pokemon but she was more interested in the appearance of her own Pokemon Squirtle. A small blue turtle with a shell on his back landed gracefully on one of the icebergs, eyes glittering at the sight.
"Squirtle squirt (Awesome water! Cannonball!)", came the cry as he leaped immediately into the water splashing Samantha in the process.
Swallowing a strangled cry, Samantha could only watch as Squirtle was blasted back out by a strong stream of water. Apparently the Mudkip was very possessive of the pool. Sparing a quick glance for Alex she set about working the battle back into her favour.
Alex wasn't doing any better in his battle. In front of him stood a red lizard on two legs wagging a tail that had a flame on the end of it. Charmander apparently had a nasty temper although Alex couldn't blame him as the Chimchar kept dodging all his attacks.
"Keep trying to scratch him Charmander!"
Charmander turned giving him a look that practically yelled Duh!
He darted forward leaping over the craters of chilli soup swinging his claws at the little fire monkey, but it only laughed and bounded out of the way and positioned itself on the opposite side of another crater. Alex knew it was only trying to tire out his partner but that information did nothing but annoy him also.
Remembering Dylan's battle, he yelled "Charmander".
Looking around and glaring daggers, Charmander stared at Alex.
Gulping a little, Alex said " take up some rocks and throw them at him, make him come to you".
That glare turned quickly to a smirk and he set about collecting rocks. The Chimchar only sat there making very rude gestures, enough so that Alex was wondering could he go in and hit him himself without being disqualified.
Satisfied, Charmander turned and started hurling rocks for all he was worth.
"Char char! (dodge this!)". Delighted to see the fire monkey jumping for cover Charmander blocked out his shrieks of insults (where he learned all those from was a mystery).
Angered at being pelted by rocks Chimchar growled loudly and leapt across the crater where he made his first and last mistake.
"Charmander scratch him down now!".
Charmander only grinned and stood at the edge of the crater till Chimchar came in reach and clawed him down into the boiling chilli soup.
A huge explosion came from the crater as Chimchar was blasted out covered in red liquid. Apparently adding more heat to the boiling inferno was a bad move.
Charmander fell on the ground laughing at the soaked monkey and didn't notice Alex standing beside him. The Chimchar stood up clearly embarrassed and ran to hide in the crowd of Pokemon who were clearly making more noise than feeding time at the zoo. Grinning Alex turned and watched Samantha's battle.
This was not good, Samantha thought. Mudkip clearly had the advantage of being able to shoot water and blast Squirtle out each time he entered. After three consecutive blast offs, Samantha needed a new tactic, although her Squirtle seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.
"Squirtle jump in one last time".
Squirtle rubbed his hands in glee ( must have a suicide wish) and cannonballed back in.
Mudkip growled in annoyance and blasted forth another water gun.
Seeing this Samantha yelled " Now Squirtle Tail Whip!". Squirtle heard and spun around in the water so that his tail took the blunt of the attack. Amazingly it served to divert the flows of water and separated the attack to each of his sides. Grinning Samantha ordered a tackle attack. This time Mudkip ended up on the platform where he was soon joined by a grinning Squirtle on the opposite side.
Growling in frustration he shot forward another water gun and to his horror watched as Squirtle lunged toward him. Pulling his body into his shell allowed him to skim across the top of the water straight toward Mudkip. Samantha clapped her hands in glee imitating the previous action from Squirtle and waited for the blow to land.
Watching Squirtle fly in the opposite direction and crash landing in the grass field was the last thing she expected. A pokemon larger than herself stood over the quivering Mudkip. With two fins on its head and a larger tail fin, Samantha assumed it must be an evolution of Mudkip. Disregarding the dangerous looks it was giving her, she ran to where Squirtle was lying dazed.
"Squirtle are you ok? Answer me". She watched him shake his head quickly, scratch the back of his head cutely and stand up grinning.
"Squirt squirt Squirtle ( lets do that again!!)".
Figuring he was just fine she walked back up to where Alex, Dylan, Oak and the two other starters were standing. Squirtle followed her humming.
"Fantastic battling all of ye!", Oak said practically bouncing in excitement, "A Submission victory from Dylan, a Crushing win for Alex and a Disqualification due to interference from Swampert earned victory for Samantha. I am very impressed. Now that ye are all done fighting, how about we go finish the paperwork and get all the necessary bits and pieces ye will need on yere journey".
"Like what", Dylan asked curiously.
" You will need a Pokedex, some poke food and of course we will need to give these little guys", gesturing to the Pokemon, " a full check-up to see if they are ready to go. Abra Laboratory 17 when your ready".
Picking up Charmander (taking care to watch where his tail flame was aiming), Alex winced at the arrival of Abra. Abra seemed delighted to see him though.
"A abra!(oh the perks of the job)". Blinding everyone with the flash of light, no one seen the pair of people dressed in black suits watching all this from the tree tops.
And there you have it. Didn't see the point of separating Alex and Samantha's battle as ye could guess what starter the other trainer had if I did, but hopefully I'm keeping you all interested. Till next time, ye know the drill. Faster I get reviews, the faster ill post the next chapter. Ill need a few reviews to motivate me ;)
