Pokémon coordinated adventures-episode 8-fire fighter extraordinaire
I dragged eve away from the crowd and towards the Pokémon centre.
"Lia what was that all about" eve asked.
"you know I get shy easily and they were staring at us" I said blushing at the thought of so many eyes on me.
"but I want to get my second gym badge" eve whined.
"but now you have more time to train" I tried making excuses.
"ugh fine but you owe me a battle I want to see your furret in action again "she said excitedly.
"I don't know I want to get him healed he just had a battle with Mareep and I also need to get Mareep checked out as well" I said.
"fine but when they're ready were having a battle" she said rushing off.
I walked up to nurse joy and gave her furret and Mareep's pokeballs for healing I also asked her how herdier was. He was fine. She took the pokeballs and I left to the practice field behind the Pokémon centre. I decided I can't fall behind eve in training.
"go skitty" I called skitty popped out of her pokeball "skitty" skitty cried happily
"ok skitty its time to learn new moves" I checked in my Pokémon move handbook "let's see ok how about iron tail" the book explained the move needed a Pokémon with a powerful tail to be performed. I picked up a few pebbles.
"okay skitty we need to make your tail stronger if we want you to learn iron tail, ill throw these up in the air and you smack them with your tail ok" skitty nodded getting prepared.
"okay let's go" I threw one pebble in the air skitty leapt up and smacked it to the side with her tail we continued like this until skitty's tail began to glow.
"that's it come on skitty iron tail" I threw the rest of the pebbles into the air skitty tail still glowing spun destroying the pebbles in a shower of dust.
"wow pretty impressive" a dark green haired boy said from behind me.
I turned around blushing that he saw me training skitty who landed beside me.
"although I don't think your allowed to bring items from outside into the Pokémon contests or do you have a Pokémon with stealth rock" he said thoughtfully.
"Pokémon contest? Huh I'm not entering a contest" I told him.
"you're not? Really that move was pretty and stylish so you definitely should" he said.
"um you think so, but wait I thought the contest halls were still being built" I said.
"they're just being finished up the first ever contest in the ansui region is actually in three days I came all the way from the hoenn to participate in the contest season here" he explains.
"so um, uh this is awkward but I don't know your name" I said embarrassed.
"oh sorry about that I'm Alfie" Alfie introduced himself.
"oh um I'm Lia it's nice to meet you" I said.
"so Lia you're really not entering the contest" he asked again.
"I don't know I might now that you've got me interested" I said.
"that's good I hope to see you in the finals if you do enter" Alfie said walking away.
"what do you think should we enter "I said looking at skitty for answer she just stared at me head tilted.
"we should get back to training maybe we can try thunderbolt in case we encounter any hostile water or flying Pokémon" I said "skitty.
At the end of the day I retrieved my Pokémon from nurse joy and watered my berry pots the plants inside looked bigger than this morning and I fell asleep ready for the next morning.
I was up early to introduce Mareep to my Pokémon. He was much calmer now that he had a good battle.
"hey Mareep I'm your new trainer and these are furret and skitty your new teammates" I said introducing the now calm Pokémon to my team. "Mareep?"
"it's ok Mareep whenever you get angry well be there to relive you of stress with a battle" I told Mareep who looked relived.
"ok let's get training shall we" I said skitty continued to learn thunderbolt but this time with Mareep while furret started to learn ice beam.
"okay furret gather all the cold energy you can into your mouth and keep trying, skitty come on you furs sparking your almost there, Mareep if you keep this up you'll know thunder bolt in no time" the Pokémon were making progress.
furret took deep breaths preparing to fire a icy beam, skitty's fur was sparking like she was about to fire the thunderbolt, Mareep's thunder shock was getting more and more powerful it would become thunder bolt any minute now.
"wow Lia I come looking for you and I find you building a army" eve said behind me.
"were training can't fall behind you can we" I said.
"so my battle with furret" she asked slyly.
"urk ah, don't you want to get your gym badge first" I didn't want to fight eve.
"yea I guess your right but I still want to battle you later" she said.
We left the Pokémon centre and walked towards the gym. It was nearby the path to Luka's farm. We entered the gym Luka was there waiting for us.
"so you came, first thinks first how many badges do you have" Luka questioned.
"I've only got the stinger badge" eve replied.
"Aw looks like I can't use rapidash you're still a newbie" Luka said sadly going over to a machine like Mell's and took out two pokeballs.
"I'm not a newbie!" eve yelled.
"uh let's just fight" he sweat-dropped.
"fine go swinub" swinub popped out of the pokeball "swi"
"hm go houndour" the black dog pokemon popped out of its ball "hound"
"a houndour lets see" I pulled out my Pokédex.
Houndour-the Dark Pokémon- It cooperates with others skilfully. When it becomes your partner, it's very loyal to you as its Trainer and will obey your orders.
"ok show em what you got with ice shard" swinub created a block of ice and fired it at houndour.
"dodge it then smog" houndour dodged the ice by leaping into the air it then released a thick black cloud from its jaws. the smoke cloaked the battle field.
"swinub can you find houndour with odor sleuth" swinub tried to smell houndour out but only got a snout full of smoke.
"houndour bite" houndour leapt out of the smoke and bit into swinub.
"swinub mud-slap" swinub broke from houndours jaws and fired a wave of mud from his snout at the dark Pokémon. Houndour was caked in mud now.
"swinub Ice shard now" swinub fired the block of ice again at houndour.
"houndour flamethrower" houndour fired a stream of powerful flames at swinub melting the ice shard on its path and engulfing swinub. Swinub had fainted.
"swinub you did great" eve called returning him to his pokeball.
"you can still use one more Pokémon" Luka said
"go Totodile" Totodile leapt out happily "toda"
"bite now" Totodile leapt at houndour jaws snapping.
"stop him with ember" houndour fired of a flurry of fire at Totodile it connected knocking Totodile back.
"water gun now" eve was getting frustrated she had barely got a hit on houndour. Totodile fired of the spiral of water.
"houndour flame thrower" houndour fired of the beam of fire the two attacks collided and steam engulfed the arena again.
"Houndour ember" a flurry of fire flew out the smoke and peppered totodile's body
"come on Totodile we need to win this water gun" eve called Totodile fired a powerful water gun at houndour again.
"counter it with flame thrower again" the beam of fire countered the water but this time eve smirked. The steam covered the area again.
"bite now Totodile" Totodile burst from the smoke and bit down onto houndour.
"now water gun" Totodile fired a point blank water gun like in the battle with Mell.
Houndour fainted. Totodile began to glow blue its body grew bigger and when the blue light faded a Croconaw stood in its place. Croconaw let out a roar. I took out my pokedex
Croconaw-the Big Jaw Pokémon-the evolved form of Totodile- Once Croconaw has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.
"so your Pokémon evolved then it makes it a much fairer match, go flareon" Luka sent out the flaming fox. "flare"
I took out my Pokédex again.
Flareon-the Flame Pokémon-the evolved form of eevee- Flareon's fluffy fur has a functional purpose-it releases heat into the air so that its body does not get excessively hot. This Pokémon's body temperature can rise to a maximum of 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit.
"wow that Pokémon looks tough" I said looking at Flareon
"heh no problem Croconaw bite" Croconaw ran much faster now than when it was a Totodile at Flareon and bit down on its leg. Flareon cried out in pain.
"Flareon bite as well" Flareon bit into Croconaw as well.
"water gun/firespin now "the two Pokémon fired off their attacks Flareon taking more damage but it was still standing.
"Flareon ember" Flareon fired off its ember but Croconaw tanked the ember. It was like the attack never happened.
"Croconaw water gun" Croconaw fired the water at Flareon.
"Flareon dodge with quick attack" Flareon dodged the water and continued in a blur toward Croconaw.
"here it comes, Croconaw scratch" Croconaw leapt up and Flareon followed ready to tackle Croconaw. But Croconaw was ready and brought down his claws on Flareon who crashed back to the earth in a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared Flareon was out cold.
"ah Flareon you were amazing" Luka returned his knocked out Pokémon to the pokeball.
"yes Croconaw we won" eve yelled hugging the crocodile happily.
"yea and you've earned the flame badge" Luka said presenting eve with the semi-circle shaped badge.
"I just got the flame badge" eve said taking the badge and holding it in the air.
We walked out of the gym.
"that was a great battle eve" I said happily.
"yea but I can't wait for my third gym battle" eve said excitedly.
"did you hear the contest hall in this town will be open soon" a girl said to her friend as they passed.
"yep I'm definitely entering" the other girl said.
"contest aren't those the things were you got to make your Pokémon battle with sparkly moves and stuff" eve asked me.
"I guess you can decide it like that but there's more to it you know" I explained.
"yea what those contestants are all full of themselves" eve said. I felt angry hen she said that I liked contests they were amazing I wanted to in one.
"no they're not" I said angrily.
"whoa what brought this on" she said.
Eve I have something I need to tell you" I said.
"what?" she asked.
"I met someone a coordinator and they told me I would be a great coordinator and before I didn't know if it was what I wanted to do at the time but now I think I want to enter the contest" I said fast.
"but we were supposed to travel the world together we were doing so well" eve seemed sad.
"but can't I just have this I just want to try and find my purpose" I yelled upset.
"fine but you'll have to do it without me" she ran away.
I went back to the Pokémon centre eve wasn't there she most likely ran to goldenseed upset I felt terrible but I just wanted this one thing. But I did see Alfie cleaning a Grovyle.
"hey Alfie I said catching his attention.
"oh hey lia what you doing here" he asked.
"I thought about what you said and I decided I want to join the contest but I don't know where to sign up" I told him.
"wow really I'm glad I inspired a future coordinator and of course I show you were to sign up just let me finish up with Grovyle" he said finishing up cleaning his Grovyle.
"Ok" I said but took out my Pokédex and scanned Grovyle.
Grovyle-the Wood Gecko Pokémon-the evolved form of treecko- The leaves growing out of Grovyle's body are convenient for camouflaging it from enemies in the forest. This Pokémon is a master at climbing trees in jungles.
"ok follow me" Alfie led me back into town to a cream coloured building with a glass roof and the symbol of a pokeball with a ribbon on it.
"this is the contest hall were us coordinators will be competing" he told me "come on" he said leading me inside there were people decorating the interior it looked very nice already but still needed work.
"you can sign up for the contest at the desk over there" he pointed to a desk with a woman behind it. I walked over to her.
"um I would like to sign up for the contest here" I said.
"of course, you are?"
