(Yay, finally a battle. If there is any mistakes, such as a wrong move or so, please alert me and I will correct it. Also, I would like to say that this is officially my longest fanfic. I find it hard to start a fanfic, so I'm pretty proud that I have written this much).
Chapter Four: Out in the Waste
After stocking up on food and aid, Frank, as he was called now, and Mary decided that it was time to start their journey. As they got to the edge of the town, Mary stopped Frank, she had something to say.
"While out in the waste, it would a good idea keep your Pokémon outside their ball. You never know when someone is going to attack you," she warmed Frank. "Okay, Wingull, I choose you." She throw out what he was told was a Pokéball. Out of came a white seagull with a light blue stripe across its wings. Its yellow beak screeched. "Wingull," she told it, "I want you to scout out ahead. If you find anything, comeback and alert me." The Wingull flew off. "Oddish, I choose you." And out from another Pokéball came another Pokémon. This one was a purple ball with legs. Leafs were growing from its head. "Oddish, I want you to follow from behind. Make sure no one attack us. And don't be afraid to use your stun spore."
"Oddish," the Oddish nodded in reply. The Oddish started to move the other direction.
"What was all that about," Frank asked here. "Why say its name?"
"Pokémon only seem to say their name. There are a few Pokémon that can talk, such as a Meowth," she answered his question. "Now where was I? Yes! Sandshrew, I choose you." Another Pokémon came out of a Pokéball. This one was yellow. "Stay ahead, a little bit. Make sure to alert me if anything comes up."
"Sandshrew," the Sandshrew replied, as he began walk ahead.
"So, you're going to bring your Pokémon out, right?" she asked.
"Ah, yes," he replied. "Zigzagoon… ummm… you can come out." He threw to Pokéball out, and from it came a raccoon like Pokémon. It had brown and cream striped fur. "Zigzagoon, do the same thing the other Pokémon is doing."
The Zigzagoon stared at him, looking puzzled. "Zigzagoon?" it asked.
"Eh... just go out front. Keep that other Pokémon company." The Zigzagoon did what it was asked. It still kept a good distance from the other Pokémon, as if the Sandshrew was poisonous.
They walked for what it seemed like a bit. For as far as the eye could see, Frank could see nothing but ruined earth and the odd burnt three, all its leafs gone. Every now and then, he would kick a small stone, but Mary kept giving him weird looks, so he stopped doing it.
Every now and then, he noticed in the sky a bird flying about. He assumed that it was a Wingull Mary sent out, he could have been wrong. The two Pokémon in front were still keeping a distance from each other, and every time Frank looked back, he noticed the Oddish following from behind.
Suddenly, without warning, the bird started flying down, panicking. It was Mary`s Wingull. The bird dropped to the ground, hitting the earth hard. Screeching noise could be heard coming from its direction, as it was in pain.
"I think I heard gun shots," Mary told Frank. "I think it will better for us to hide behind that those rocks over there," she pointed to some large rocks. They ran towards the rocks and hid behind them. "You should get you Zigzagoon to watch guard," she told Frank.
Frank nodded. "Zigzagoon," he told his Pokémon softly, "stay put and watch guard."
"Zigzagoon," the Pokémon nodded in agreement.
"It's my turn," Mary started to say, "to show you what a real Pokémon battle is. Stay put both of you." And with that, she ran to the other side of the world. Looking over rock, Frank noticed a figure in the distance.
"Poochyena," the figure yelled. "Sand-attack that Sandshrew" The Poochyena kicked sand at the Sandshrew.
"Sandshrew dodge the sand and attack it with your Poison Sting!" yelled Mary.
"SANDSHREW!" the Sandshrew yelled, as it jumped onto the Poochyena and jabbed it with its crawl. It then jumped off. The Poochyena started to walk as if it was dizzy.
"Finish it with your Rapid Spin!" she yelled. The Sandshrew started to spin around, moving closer again to the Poochyena, and knocking itself into the other Pokémon. The other Pokémon dropped to the ground. "Now Oddish, use your Stun Spore on that Raider. Sandshrew, use your Poison Sting." And that was what her Pokémon did.
The raider didn't have that much. Mary decided to keep the Poochyena, so that she could sell it to Bill when they got back to Cambridge Springs. After using some potions to heal there Pokémon, including Mary`s Wingull, who by now had started to recover a little. Even though it was still too hurt to fly, the other Pokémon were able to scout about, making sure no other raiders were about.
And so they continued their journey.
