Chap 08: To Double or Not to Double

After their battles with Gwen, Trent and Leshawna our heroes continue their trip to Straiton City until they come across a trainer in some trouble

-A-

With Straiton City merely in their sights our heroes continue their journey until a Patrat herd was running from somthing

"Hey are those Patrat running from somthing?" asked Bridgette

"I sense a troubled Pokémon in that tree." said Dawn

"Well what are we waiting for?" said Gill

They ran to the tree seeing a Cubchoo and it's trainer dangling in a tree and a Scolipede charging into that tree.

"Hey are you ok up there?" asked Bridgette

"Oh yeah were dangling from a tree trying run from a crazy Pokémon, but other than that I'm peachy." The trainer said sarcastically.

Then Dawn threw in Solosis. "Solosis use Psywave!" and as soon as Solosis came out it blasted a rainbow coloured ray at Scolipede.

Then Gill threw in Pidove. "Pidove bring down that Pokémon!" and Pidove flew up and grabbed Cubchoo and put him down on the ground.

And Bridgette threw in Pansear. "Pansear use Incinerate!" and blasted a fire wave from its tuft and hit Scolipede.

And then Scolipede ran away!

"Well looks like we got that thing on the run!" yelled Gill in delight

"Return." The trio said in unison and their Pokémon returned to their Pokéballs.

Then the trainer jumped down. He had pale light skin (similar to Dawn's) with blue eyes and light brown hair. He wore a dark blue hoodie, light brown and jeans dark brown shoes along with a black and blue backpack.

"Hey you ok bro?" asked Gill

"Yeah I think so." said the trainer

"Hey what's your name? asked Bridgette

"Huh oh my name is Craig and this is my partner Cubchoo."

"Cubchoo? Let's see." And Gill scans the Pokémon into the Pokédex.

Cubchoo the Chill Pokémon: Their snot is a barometer of health. When healthy, their snot is sticky and the power of their ice moves increase.

"Aww, your Pokémon is so cute." said Bridgette

Then Craig started to stare at Dawn.

"Huh what is it? Is there something on my face?" asked Dawn

He starts to blush "Um… it's nothing." He said shyly

"Oookay, anyway why is a Scolipede chasing you?" Dawn asked

Then he scratched his head "You see I tried to catch it."

"You tried to catch a Scolipede?!" Bridgette and Gill said in unison

"Here." Dawn said handing Bridgette her Pokédex

Scolipede the Megapede Pokémon: It clasps its prey with the claws on its neck until it stops moving. Then it finishes it off with deadly poison

"So where are you from?" asked Gill

"I'm from Asperita City." answered Craig

"That's pretty far from here. Do you have any gym badges?"

Then he dropped his head. "No yet yet."

"Well neither do I." said Gill. "In fact, Dawn is the only one I know who has a gym badge."

"Well can I come with you guys to Striaton City?"

"Oh sure you can." Gill answered "Truth is I've needed a guy to talk to."

"Okay then so do I." Craig said

"Gill it's your turn to find fruit."

"Uh really." Then Gill put his arm around Craig's neck friendly. "Craig my friend you're going to help me."

"Ok actually I need to talk to talk to you." Craig said

"Ok let go then."

-A-

Then it was sunset and the two girls were setting up their sleeping bags the Bridgette started the conversation.

"Hey Dawn have you had a boyfriend before?"

"I've never felt the need to get into that kind of companionship with a boy before."

"Oh, well there are lots of boys out there in Unova and you will find one."

"Remember how I can read the auras of people?"

"Yeah."

"Well I can see into their past and their past relationships and…"

"I see you're afraid of rejection."

"No! More like I don't trust them."

"So do you trust Gill?"

"To an extent. Either way I'm not really eager to find that 'special someone'. All I'm focused on is winning all eight gym badges and entering the Unova League that's it." Then she started to get up and walk away.

"Hey Dawn where are you going?"

"I'm going to meditate, I'll be back."

-A-

In the forest they got all the food they can carry. And Craig told Gill some interesting news

"Woah you like Dawn!" Gill yelled

"Hey! Do you want the whole of Unova to find out?!" Craig said after putting his hand on Gill's mouth

"So uh are you going to tell her?"

"Not right now obviously but soon I mean I need to get to know her first."

"I have an idea." Gill said

"Does it involve you in anyway?"

"Uh no. Wait, what?"

"It's nothing, anyway what's your plan?"

"Challenge her to a battle!"

"What!?"

"I said challenge her to a battle. That way you will get to know her better and tell her if you win she should go out with you."

"Ok I'll do it and I have the perfect strategy too."

"Alright then let's get back to camp."

-A-

Then it was the next morning and they were a few steps away from Striaton City.

Then Craig decided now was the time.

"Hey Dawn um I was wondering…"

"What is it?"

Then he said loudly. "I challenge you to a battle!" then he continued "If I win then you owe me a date."

"Then what shall happen if I win." Dawn asked

Craig and Gill obviously didn't think this through.

"Then… if you win I…I will catch a Pokémon for you. Oh and this is a double battle."

"Okay then you have a battle." Then she held a Pokéball and outstretched her arm forwards.

"Well this will be interesting." Bridgette said

"Oh yeah it will." Said Gill

"Hey Gill do you know something?"

"No nothing at all."

"Oookay."

-A-

"Ok Dawn let's start this."

Then she just nodded.

"With the skies watching over me I shall win this battle. Eevee, Riolu do your best." Then the two Pokémon came out of their Pokéballs

"Ok Cubchoo, Emolga lead us to victory!" And his Cubchoo along with a Pokémon that resembled a flying squirrel.

-A-

"Who is that Pokémon?" said Gill looking at his Pokédex.

Emolga the Sky Squirrel Pokémon: It glides on it's outstretched membrane while shocking foes with electricity stored in the pouches on it's cheeks.

-A-

"Alright Dawn I'll give you the first move."

"Right Eevee, Riolu use Quick Attack, then they both charged towards Cubchoo and Emolga."

"Cubchoo use Icy Wind on both of them!" The Cubchoo blew a chilling wind towards Eevee and Riolu. And slowed them down. "Now Emolga use Quick Attack!" And Emolga charged and out-sped both Eevee and Riolu and continuously pounded them.

"Wait a minute how is Emolga that fast or…"

"Eevee and Riolu are slower? Yeah I had Cubchoo use Icy Wind to slow down your Pokémon, and then Emolga used Quick Attack to do some damage.

'I don't believe it he had me in the first move!? Okay Dawn focus, Ice types are weak to fighting type moves so. Okay then this strategy should work!'

"Eevee, Bite!"

"Cubchoo use Icy Wind."

'He fell for it!'

Eevee was hit with a cold wind and it's running was slowed down.

"Emolga use Quick Attack!"

"Eevee use Quick Attack to dodge it."

And Emolga was chasing Eevee around.

'Now Emolga can't protect Cubchoo time to strike.'

"Now Riolu use Force Palm!" And Riolu was getting close to Cubchoo

"Cubchoo dodge it!" but Cubchoo was hit.

'That was super effective one more could knock out Cubchoo. Okay time for plan B'

Then Emolga and Eevee went back to their trainers.

"Hey Dawn beat this Emolga use Attract!" Emolga Blew a kiss of hearts towards Eevee and Riolu

Then Dawn gasped because she knew what would happen if Riolu was hit with attract.

"Riolu dodge it now." She yelled but Riolu was surrounded by heart and his eyes turns to pink hearts and became infatuated with Emolga.

"Cubchoo use Rock smash on Eevee." Cubchoo charged at Eevee with an orange glowing fist

"Eevee use Quick Attack to dodge then charge into Emolga." Eevee did this and hit Emolga

"Emolga use Shock Wave!" And Eevee was hit with a yellow electric jolt that came from Emolga's cheeks "Cubchoo use Fury Swipes on Riolu!" Then Riolu was hit several times with Cubchoo's paws.

"Riolu snap out of it!"

"Emolga finish Riolu with Electo Ball!" Then a ball made of electricity started to appear on Emolga's tail and it jumped into the air as the ball kept growing then Emolga did a front flip so the ball will release from it's tail. Then the ball hit Riolu.

Riolu Fainted

"Riolu No!" then she sighed "It doesn't matter you did your best and that's all that matters. Return."

"Alright lets wrap it up Emolga use Shock Wave, Cubchoo use Icy Wind."

"Eevee dodge them with Quick Attack!" Eevee dodged both attacks but they continued to attack

"Emolga use Quick Attack, Cubchoo use Fury Swipes."

"C'mon Eevee we can't give up use. Huh." And Eevee's tail started glowing, became flat and turned a shiny metal colour. "Woah that's Iron Tail!" and hit Emolga

"Emolga!"

Emolga fainted

'Got to finish this.' They both thought

"Cubchoo use Rock Smash!"

"Eevee use Iron Tail."

Then Eevee Jumped up and did a front flip and tried to hit Cubchoo with its steel flat tail then Cubchoo jumped and punched Eevee's tail with it's orange glowing fist then a small explosion happened and fell to the ground and… They both fainted.

Dawn sighed and took her Pokémon in her arms. "Sorry Eevee, I couldn't get the win." Then Eevee smiled pretty much saying 'That's alright my friend.'

"Well Cubchoo we… almost won." Then Cubchoo jumped on to Craig's arms "So Dawn I guess… you owe me a date."

"What, it was a draw so we both lost!"

"You didn't let me finish. I also owe you a newly caught Pokémon."

"Or we can just not do anything since we basically both lost!" Dawn said cruelly

Then Craig looked down.

"Oh I'm sorry that was mean, let's see if you get me a Pokémon then I'll go out with you is that a deal?"

"Deal!" he said and jumped up in the air in delight

After our heroes met up with a new trainer they are about finish their journey to Striaton City and Gill gets even closer to his first gym badge.

-A-
