Pokemon White 2 Chapter 8: Dreamyard Double Battle Part 2 of 2

Ethan and Hilbert just stood there staring at the turquoise alien looking Pokemon and didn't know what to think of it. Colress then began to speak, "This is my Elgyem. This Pokemon is a great example of what not to do when battling a psychic type." Colress then puts his hand over his mouth and laughs. Colress continues, "This is the Cerebral Pokemon, this Pokemon is rumored to have been linked to a UFO landing 50 years ago. Creepy huh? Do you think you can actually defeat this Pokemon?"
Ethan then formed a fist with his right hand and said, "Wait! This is a two on one battle! Of course we can defeat that Pokemon! Come on Hilbert, lets beat this thing!" Hilbert then yelled, "Yeah! Oshawott! Use Water Gun!" Oshawott then shot water directly at Elgyem, but Colress replied, "Hmm! Elgyem, use Confusion to direct the water gun to Tepig!" Elgyem's eyes then glowed a freaky blue and the Water Gun then turned around and went for Tepig. Ethan then said, "Oh crap! Tepig jump!" Tepig jumped just missing the redirected Water Gun. Ethan then said, "Hilbert, we have to find a way around it's psychic energy. If we don't find a way he will tear our Pokemon to shreds!" Hilbert then thought for a second and said, "Wait! Ethan psychic Pokemon are weak to bug types right? If you can distract Elgyem, I can deliver a Fury Cutter and defeat him." Ethan thought for a second and said, "Well, that sounds like a long shot, but I'm in. What do I do?" Hilbert then answered, "Well, just keep him busy is all. Try to inflinct damage if possible. Otherwise, just keep him occupied."
Ethan then said, "Easier said than done really. How do you know this'll work?" Hilbert then said, "I don't know if this'll work. I was just suggesting." Ethan then whispered to Hilbert, "Ok, we're gonna try this alright? I am going to tell Tepig to Flame Charge him. Then once I get deflected use Fury Cutter." Hilbert then said, "Ok. Got it." Ethan then said, "Tepig use Flame Charge!" Tepig then stomped until he was covered in fire and dashed towards Elgyem. Hilbert then said, "Oshawott, get within range to Elgyem, but not too close." Oshawott then got within 5 feet behind Elgyem which caused him to turn a little bit.
Tepig then got too close for Elgyem, Colress then said, "Elgyem, use Confusion to direct Flame Charge to Oshawott!" Ethan then said, "Hilbert do something!" Hilbert then said, "I thought this might happen, Oshawott jump off of Tepig and use Fury Cutter on Elgyem!" Oshawott then leaped to Tepig and footstooled Tepig stopping Tepig cold. Oshawott then got in for an attack and used Fury Cutter on Elgyem. Elgyem was then thrown to the wall hurt. Colress then said, "Hmm... I know what to do now. Elgyem use Psybeam!" Elgyem then shot a colorful beam hitting Tepig like a ton of bricks.
Tepig then slowly got up severely hurt and Ethan ordered, "Tepig! Use Ember!" Tiny Embers then hit Elgyem, hurting pretty bad. Colress then thought for a second waiting on something, 'Come on. Come on.' Elgyem then felt a burning sensation on its back and Colress then said, "Yes! Ok Elgyem! Let your ability kick in!" Elgyem's eyes then flashed and then Tepig caught the burn ailment. Ethan then said is confusion, "What just happened?" Colress then explained, "Elgyem's ability is Synchronize. It'll allow me to inflict any ailment that Elgyem has on another Pokemon." Colress then closed his eyes to say, "Really, have you two not read upon your abilities have you?"
Hilbert then noticed his eyes were shut and he gestured to Oshawott for him to use Fury Cutter. Elgyem was mimicing every move Colress was so their eyes were closed. Oshawott then landed a Critical Hit on Elygem finishing him off. Colress then called back Elgyem and said, "Ok, you beat me. You wanted to know why we stole Musharna?" Ethan said, "Yeah!" Colress then said with a smile, "Well, good luck finding out on your own. NOW!" A ladder then dropped from a camouflaged vehicle in the air. Colress then climbed the ladder and as they flew off Colress said, "I hope there are no brats like you in Virbank! That would mean there are many people against our team's beliefs. Oh well. Bye-bye for now!"
The camouflaged vehicle then took off with a swoosh! Ethan then stared and growled angrily as they flew off. Hilbert then said, "Oh don't worry about him. I don't think we've seen the last of him! Let's just get back to the Pokemon Center and heal up our Pokemon ok?" Ethan then said, "Yeah. Let's go." The three heroes then went back to Striaton City and heal up their Pokemon. Inside the Pokemon center they heard a familiar voice echoing from the back, it was Juniper! After they got their Pokemon healed up they went into the back to talk to Juniper.
Juniper saw Ethan and the others walk in and she began speaking, "Hey guys! Did you hear about what happened in Floccesy Town!? There was a guy there who said his sister's Purrloin was stolen by team Plasma! That's awful!" Ethan then said, "There was a Musharna that was stolen in the Dreamyard not 10 minutes ago! We couldn't stop him either! We defeated him in battle, but we couldn't return the Musharna because he didn't really have it, I feel like it's all my fault." Ethan's head then dropped in shame.
Lyra then comforted Ethan, "Ethan, it wasn't your fault. Look, you and Hilbert tried your best and that's all that matters." Ethan then said, "Yeah, I guess." Juniper then said, "Hey look, let's go get some grub at the gym! What do ya say?" Ethan then exclaimed, "What!?" Juniper then said, "That gym has a restaurant in the back, didn't you know that?" Hilbert then said, "No, we just went to fight the leaders and that was it." Juniper then put an arm around Ethan and said, "Lets go get some food shall we?" They all then left the Pokemon Center for the gym, but little did they know a shady character was following them, and all you could see was he had red hair.
Uh-oh. There is someone following Ethan and the group. Who is this red haired kid? What will become of the group when they meet up with him later? Find out next time in Chapter 9: Enter Silver and Totodile.
