Chapter 6: Gold VS Silver
"Once again folks, an imbalance in the number of participants has made it necessary for contestant Gold to battle once again. This upcoming battle will be reviving an old rivalry between the two original Pokédex holders of Johto: Gold of New Bark Town, and silver of Viridian City in Kanto."
"It's been quite a while since our last battle" Silver noted.
"Yeah, a while since I last had the chance to show off my skills and beat you."
"While you put up a good fight, and were distracted by my Pokégear, you still lost, and will again."
"Not after my training on Mt Silver, my Pokémon and I are stronger than ever."
"Let the battle begin! First battle: Sunbo, Gold's Sunflora VS Silver's Sneasel. Commence the battle!"
"You thought I was going to start with Feraligatr, didn't you. You're so naïve."
"I'll show you who's naïve, Sunbo, use Sunny Day!"
"Sneasel, use Ice Punch!"
Sunflora dodged with blinding speed, but Sneasel chased him.
"How is your Sunflora able to dodge the speed of my Sneasel?"
"Look who's naïve now," Gold started "my Sunbo has the ability Chlorophyll. In direct sunlight, her speed is increased."
The swiping and dodging went on for a few minutes, but eventually both Pokémon began to lose strength.
"Sneasel return!" Silver threw Feraligatr's pokéball on to the stage.
"Sunbo, SolarBeam" the brightly coloured beam shot across the room, landing a direct hit. In that single move, Feraligatr was down.
"Feraligatr is unable to battle, Silver must now send out his sneasel, or forfeit the match."
"SolarBeam is an extremely powerful move, but you shouldn't have been able to fire it that quickly, how did you do that. Tell me."
"Under the effects of Sunny Day, SolarBeam charges instantly. Once again, looks like I'm not the one who's naïve. Not to mention, you only have Sneasel left, who's almost out of energy."
It occurred to Silver that gold was right. 'I can't lose to GOLD!' He began thinking of strategies. "Contestant Silver, immediately send out your next Pokémon or you will be disqualified."
It didn't matter, Silver had already thought of a plan.
"Go, Sneasel, use Blizzard!" Sneasel jumped out of the pokéball and froze over the whole field. Clearing the effects of Sunny Day in the process.
Sunbo was also frozen solid.
"No matter how fast you are, you can't outrun a blizzard."
"Sunflora is unable to move, and unable to battle, sneasel wins the fight, but the battle isn't over for him."
"Go, Exbo!" The flames on Typhlosion back roared to life as he got ready to battle.
"Deciding battle: Exbo, Gold's Typhlosion VS Silver's Sneasel. Commence battling!"
"Sneasel, use Quick Attack!" Sneasel lunged with blinding speed, hitting Typhlosion right in the side.
Typhlosion turned around to counter it, but sneasel was gone.
"Exbo! There's no point in trying to hit him going at that speed, so use Smokescreen." A plume of smoke covered the arena.
"BOO, YOU SUCK!" Gold heard from somewhere in the crowd.
"YEAH! WE WANT TO SEE THE FIGHT!" A voice emanated from a different location.
"Spectators, please remain quiet while battles are in progress" the speaker commanded.
"Sneasel, use Faint Attack!"
Gold couldn't see what was happening. All he heard was the pained cries of his Typhlosion.
"Exbo, get out of that smoke!" By the time Typhlosion had made his way out of the smoke, it was badly injured.
"How did you manage to hit Exbo so often in the smoke?"
"Faint Attack can't miss" Silver replied simply "and you better make a move quickly, your Typhlosion is on its last legs. I'd say you only have one attack left in you."
"Agreed, use BLAST BURN!"
"Sneasel, Protect!"
The fire blazed across the room, but came to a direct halt when it came in contact with Sneasel.
The stream of fire stopped and Typhlosion collapsed from exhaustion.
"WHAT AN UPSET! SILVER HAS COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN!"
"I told you, you're naïve to think you could have beaten me."
Gold was a little short on snappy comebacks, so he just left the stage.
