Team Smashion
Chapter 3
The Rescue Team Tournament
Ex: Rawr! Now it is time for... SIDE QUESTS! WHOO!
Clario: Uh.. I thought we agreed we'd stay on the story.
Ex: It grows repetive if every chapter is about the MAIN STORY. Remember when you were playing Children Of Mana?
Clario: ...Shut up.
No review answering today. I'm lazy like that, and my answers to everything is 'Thanks for the feedback' due to lack of anything really intresting to say to the reviewers.
Ex's House
Ex was asleep on his table, his head lying on something he made.
"...Ex?" Blaze's voice trailed into his house, and Blaze walked inside.
"Snore... no I don't want my carrots... snort..." Ex mumbled in his sleep.
"Ex!" Blaze yelled.
"AH! DON'T EAT ME!" Ex cried, jolted from his sheep and flailing his new invention around, almost hitting Blaze with it.
"Wah! Watch out with that... thing! That almost knocked me out!" Blaze snapped. "What is that thing anyway?"
"This? It's a crossbow. Remember how we found those Iron Thorns? I made this thing overnight for them." Ex yawned.
"Um... Crossbow? What's that? And how does it work?" Blaze asked, waving the crossbow around like a sword.
"Look, you put the thorn or spike in here, pull back this string onto that block, and press that trigger to lower the block and making the string smack into the bolt sending it straight into your target." Ex explained.
"Does it WORK?" Blaze inquried.
"Yeah." Ex simply replied, aiming and shooting a thorn right into a picture of some fruit, hitting a grape right in the center.
"Woah!" Blaze said, amazed.
"So anyway, why'd you wake me up so early?" Ex asked.
"Well, I heard of this new stadium near a town called Blitzeo, near the ThunderWave Cave." Blaze explained. "They're holding tournaments for rescue teams."
"Awesome. But what makes you think we have a chance in it? We're only beginners." Ex said.
"There's different divisions. There's a division for each Rescue Rank. Red, Blue, Yellow are the beggining ones. Silver, Gold and Crystal are intermediate ones. Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald are experienced ones, and Diamond, Pearl and Amethyst are master ones." Blaze explained.
"Great. Let's enter." Ex replied excitedly, all sleep leaving him.
"I already entered us. We're in the Yellow Division. Cheery and MiniCheer are coming, but only Cheery is fighting, since there's a 3 Pokemon rule." Blaze explained.
"Jeezus, Blaze. Let's just go already." Ex complained and headed towards the town of Blitzeo.
"W-wait up!" Blaze cried, running after him.
Thirty minutes later...
Blitzeo West
"Wow." MiniCheer said as the group walked towards the stadium. "This place looks way different than Pokemon Center."
"Well, it's a different town. It's not like there's multiple copies of the town everywhere." Cheery replied, annoyed.
"Or is there...?" Ex said, jokingly.
"There's not." Blaze replied.
"I was kidding..." Ex replied to Blaze's reply.
"Whatever, we're here." Blaze said, the group walking through a huge arch.
"Wow." MiniCheer said, looking around.
"Hey! Yellow division over here!" A reddish Raichu yelled, as crowds of Pokemon gathered around her.
"There's our spot. See ya later, MiniCheer." Cheery said.
"Bye. I'll be rooting for you guys!" MiniCheer said, leaving towards the stands.
"Okay... Well, let's get started." Ex said, heading over to the Raichu with the other two party members following close behind.
Round 1, Yellow Division
Team Smashion Versus Team DarkEaters
Ex, Blaze and Cheery walked onto the stage as two Lickitungs and an Umbreon jumped onto it.
"Okay, no cheating, all items allowed. Fight!" A Sandshrew said, then jumped off the stage.
Ex drew his crossbow and started loading Iron Thorns into it. The first Lickitung tried Licking Blaze, but he dodged and Embered the Lickitung, knocking it back. Umbreon Shadow Balled Cheery into Blaze. Ex quickly rolled behind the three Pokemon and shot Umbreon three times with an Iron Thorn, who quickly countered by tackling Ex. Blaze quickly Scratched the second Lickitung as Cheery Thundershocked it. The Umbreon started throwing Gravlerocks, which Ex dodged and retaliated with Iron Thorn shots. Blaze slid into the Umbreon, knocking it off balance as Ex charged right into it, sending the Dark Pokemon straight out of the stage.
"Ring out! Umbreon is out of the battle!" The Sandshrew announced.
The first Lickitung Stomped on Cheery, then Licked Blaze, paralyzing him. Ex shot the Lickitung in the back, but was hit by the second Lickitung's Strength attack, and flew straight into the Cheery. Blaze recovered and tackled the Lickitung that licked him, and both fell out of the ring. Cheery was already out also. Ex was barely on the stage.
"Ring out! Lickitung and Blaze are out! Along with the Plusle!" The Sandshrew announce again.
"I have a NAME, y'know."
"So?"
Ex and Lickitung stared at each other when Ex suddenly Thunder Waved Lickitung and pushed him out of the ring.
"...Talk about cheap wins." Umbreon commented.
"I know." Cheery replied.
"TEAM SMASHION IS THE WINNER! You move onto the next round, which will be in... a week or so. Seeya then!" The Sandshrew said, and then closed off the Arena.
"What about the other teams?" Ex asked.
"What, you think that's the only stage we have here? We're just repairing that one, there are more than one. You newb." The referee said, and then dug away.
"Well now... We have a week for rescuing. What now?" Ex asked.
"Well, I heard of this Jumpluff that needed help at Pokemon Square. Something about Team Shiftry..." Blaze said.
END! Review please! Kthnxbai.
Whee. This chapter was just to introduce the Crossbow, and stuff. Yeah.
