Pokemon Journey: Johto, Next Generation
Chapter Nine: Kyle's Fight
Previously in Chapter Eight...
"Man, that's was good dinner!" Mimi said, falling down onto her bed at the Pokemon Center.
"Yeah. Sorry that you lost Meems," Kyle said, slipping under the covers.
"No worries Kyle. It was exciting! There's always next time, right?" Mimi asked. Kyle chuckled and nodded.
The two teens fell to sleep, as their two Pokemon's jumped onto their beds and cuddled with them.
~oOo~
A week has past. Ryan already gotten his gym badge from Falkner. He and Zoey went off to Azalea Town. Kyle has been training non-stop. Mimi's been watching Kyle and battling him as well.
"Alright Totodile! We're most definitely ready for Falkner!" cried Kyle. He pumped his fists in the air. Totodile jumped up while his feet were flailing in the air. Mimi giggled.
"Hope you guys win," Mimi said. Her Cyndaquil was on her lap. She decided to name him Tai.
"I still don't get why you named your Cyndaquil, Tai."
"Well, he evolves into Typhlosion right? So, Ty sounds like Tai," Mimi explained. Kyle rolled his eyes and scoffed. He sat down next to Mimi.
"I still think it's stupid and confusing," Kyle replied.
"Whatever," Mimi said.
"Excuse me." Mimi and Kyle turned around and was faced to face with a young male. Around ten years old or so. He had light brown hair that went up to his shoulders. They were a bit spiked up at the end. He too had light brown eyes.
"U-um, yes?" Mimi asked.
"Do you know where Goldenrod City is?" he asked.
"Um, its far from here actually. Why?" Mimi asked.
"I was trying to find a way there to battle Whitney..." the boy replied.
"Well-" Mimi got cut off by Kyle.
"Are you a trainer?"
"Yeah. My name's Akira. Akira Saroyan. I'm from Twinleaf Town."
"Wow! So you're from the Sinnoh region?" Mimi asked in awe. Akira nodded.
"My name's Mimi Tomomi. It's a pleasure to meet you Akira!" Mimi chirped.
"I'm Kyle Yamato."
"It's nice to meet you two," Akira said, smiling. "Are you both Pokemon trainers too?" Mimi and Kyle looked at each other and back at him.
"No. I'm a Pokemon Coordinator. Kyle's the trainer here," Mimi replied.
"Have you won any ribbons?" Akira asked. Mimi shook her head.
"There was a contest held here a week ago and I made it to the battle round. Just not the final four. But that's okay. There's a contest in Azalea Town two weeks from now! After Kyle here gets his first gym badge from Falkner, we're going to head over to Azalea Town," Mimi said, petting Tai.
"Cynda!" said Tai.
"So, what's it like in Sinnoh?" Kyle asked.
"Well, it's pretty nice. Just another usual region I suppose," Akira replied. Kyle nodded. Akira then noticed their Pokemon egg sitting on the bench along side with their other Pokemon.
"Hey, is that a Pokemon egg?" Kyle and Mimi turned around.
"Yeah. Professor Elm gave it to us to take care of. Though, I still think Professor Elm wanted me to take care of the egg," Kyle said stubbornly. Mimi rolled her eyes.
"Please! You would only be a bad influence on the egg and the Pokemon inside it," Mimi snapped.
"Egg's can't be influenced, idiot!" Kyle shouted. The two glared at each other for a couple of minutes.
"Why don't you two just battle each other to see who will get the egg?"
Mimi and Kyle's ears perked up and their eyes widen. Why didn't they think of that before hand?
"That's a great idea Akira!" Mimi said with a grin. Kyle nodded.
"Okay well...I'm going to find my way to Goldenrod City now. Bye." Akira waved bye to the two of them. Mimi and Kyle waved back. After the young brunette left to Goldenrod, Mimi and Kyle smirked at each other.
"So. I think this should be a one-on-one battle. Substitution is allowed," Mimi said.
"Why?"
"Because! I only have two Pokemon you nimrod!" Mimi replied. Kyle muttered something. He sighed and called out his Spinarak.
"Okay, let's go Corsola!" Mimi called. The pink and white coral Pokemon leaped up in the air and onto the ground gracefully.
"Spinarak, use poison sting now!" commanded Kyle.
"Quick Corsola, dodge and use rock smash!"
Kyle's eyes widen with fear, "what the hell! Since when did Corsola learned that!"
"Since five days ago you idiot!"
"Spina!" cried the green spider. He was hit fully by the pebbles and rocks caused by Corsola. The coral Pokemon smirked.
"Spinarak! Use constrict!" The spider Pokemon crawled towards Corsola and put her in a very tight and painful embrace.
"Corso!" cried Corsola.
"Oh no! Corsola! Use rest!" Suddenly, Corsola was put into a deep sleep. Kyle smiled evilly at this.
"You so shouldn't have done that Mimi," Kyle mocked. Mimi grind her teeth and clenched her fists.
"Spinarak, hurry and use leech life!"
Spinarak spewed out a needle at Corsola. It drained her of her health points and was sent to Spinarak. Corsola woke up and felt a little dizzy.
"Hang in there Corsola! Use bubble now!" Mimi shouted. Corsola blew several bubbles at Spinarak. But he easily dodged them one by one.
"Let's finish this off buddy. Use fury swipes!" Spinark charged straight at Corsola and began scratching Corsola multiple times.
Corsola staggered backwards and fainted.
"Corsola!" Mimi called. She ran over to her Pokemon and smiled sadly. "You did really well Corsola. You should rest up." Mimi recalled Corsola back into her pokeball.
"We did it Spinarak!" Kyle cheered.
"Spina!" suddenly, Spinarak was shaking. Mimi and Kyle were wondering what was going on. Spinarak's four legs grew longer. There were two legs on his back. His pincers were greyish white and Spinarak had a horn. His body was bigger in size and in a different colour.
"I think Spinarak just evolved Kyle!" Mimi said, pointing it out.
"Aria!" cried the newly evolved Spinarak. Kyle took out his pokedex to find out what Pokemon this was.
"Ariados, the long leg Spider Pokemon. Rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders in search of food after darkness falls."
"So, you're Ariados huh," Kyle said, looking at his Pokemon. Ariados smiled and crawled up to Kyle. They both laughed. Kyle fell down, unable to hold up the weight of Ariados.
"Kyle! A-are you two okay?" Mimi asked, looking down at the two. But they only laughed. Mimi sighed and rolled her eyes, she joined in on the fun as well.
"You're lucky that your Spinarak evolved into an Ariados," Mimi commented. Kyle smirked.
"Jealous, are we?"
"I'm not jealous Kyle," Mimi replied, pursing her lips. Kyle gave out a small chuckle and looked at Mimi, "you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure you dolt. Anyways. I'm going to go heal Corsola. Want to come with?" Mimi asked, grabbing Corsola's pokeball. Kyle shook his head.
"Nah. I'm good. I want to do some more training with Ariados, Princess and Totodile." Mimi nodded and left to the Pokemon Center.
As Mimi step foot in the center, she saw Falkner sitting in the waiting area. Not wanting to disturb him, she walked past him, hopping to heal her Corsola soon.
"Hey, you."
Mimi stopped and turned around. Falkner got up and walked right on over to her.
"Uh, y-yes?" Mimi asked, barely a whisper.
"You're Mimi from the Pokemon Contest, right?" Mimi couldn't find her voice and just nodded. He looked somewhat intimidating.
"You put on a very nice show, sad that you didn't win," he said sympathetically. Mimi relaxed a little and smiled sadly.
"It's alright. There's always other contests right? I may not have won my first ribbon, but maybe in the future I'll win the necessary five ribbons to enter the Grand Festival, right?" Mimi replied, tilting her head and smiling brightly. Falkner smiled.
"So, you here to heal your Pokemon?" he asked.
"Un. I just had a battle with my friend, Kyle Yamato. We were deciding who gets to keep this Pokemon egg that Professor Elm gave us," Mimi explained.
"Is your friend a trainer?"
"Yup! We're traveling together. He's going to challenge you pretty soon!" Mimi chirped. Falkner laughed.
"I'll be expecting him then. It's a pleasure to talk to you Mimi. Now, I must head on back to my gym if you don't mind." as Falkner left the center, Mimi's heart was racing. And no, not from affection.
'HOLY CRAP! That was scary!' Mimi thought. She breathed heavily and sighed. Mimi turned to the counter and gave the nurse Corsola's pokeball.
~oOo~
Kyle was outside taking a break. His Ariados was spinning a web. Princess was grooming herself. Kyle had no idea how a crazy psycho bird can clean itself, but he's not complaining. Totodile was busy acting cute and chomping on a branch.
"What's taking her so long?" Kyle asked impatiently to himself. He sighed and lied back down on the grass looking up at the cloudy blue sky. He closed his eyes for a brief minute before he heard someone call out his name.
"Kyle!"
Kyle opened his eyes and grumpily sat up, he saw Mimi running towards him. She fell on the ground and panted.
"What's up with you?" Kyle asked.
"I saw Falkner in the center. A-and he said that he can't wait t-to battle you!" Mimi confessed.
"Okay... And why do you look like you saw a ghost?" Kyle asked.
"H-he was scary..."
"..."
"Don't you go all silent on me Kyle!" Mimi cried out. Kyle tried hard not to laugh. But he failed anyways. Mimi puffed up her cheeks and began whacking Kyle with a newspaper.
"Hey! Ow! Watch it—ow!"
"That's what you get you big ass!" Mimi shouted. She began chasing Kyle around, trying to hit him some more. Their Pokemon watched in amusement.
After an hour of chasing, Mimi and Kyle settled down and ate some nice tasty lunch.
"So, when do you think you'll battle Falkner?" Mimi asked, taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Maybe after lunch. I've practiced and trained my Pokemon's hard enough anyways," Kyle replied, plucking a small grape and throwing it into his mouth.
"Okay then. Good luck Kyle!" Mimi said.
Kyle chuckled, he rubbed his nose and stubbornly stuck it up in the air, "heh. Glad you think I'm worthy to have luck."
"Oh, was I supposed to give you bad luck? Because, I think remember one time. When we were really small, you-" Kyle cut Mimi off.
"Don't say it out here! You're going to jinx me!" Kyle said worriedly.
Mimi smirked, "that's the point."
Their Pokemon once again watched. They all talked amongst themselves.
"Corso!" ("Look!")
"Cynda, cyn quil, quill." ("I can see that Corsola.")
"Aria. Ri, riados." ("It seems they are quite chummy.")
"Hoot! Hoot hoot." ("I don't see what's so interesting.")
"Toto! Tot tot, totodile! Totodi! Dile Toto." ("It's obvious! They are, how you say... Flirtting! It's rather cute! Don't you think so?")
"Cynda! Quill quill!" ("That's somewhat cute. Though I don't approve!")
"Hoot hoot!" ("You never approve!")
As the Pokemon's bicker back and forth about Mimi and Kyle's relationship and where it stands, Kyle gets up and walks over to his Pokemon.
"Okay Princess, Ariados. We better get you two back in your pokeball. We have a big battle awaiting for us at the gym here," Kyle said. Princess and Ariados were back into their pokeball. Mimi did the same with Corsola. Totodile and Cyndaquil were looking up at their trainers in question.
"Hey...why are Totodile and Cyndaquil looking at us like that?" Kyle asked. Mimi looked down.
"I have no idea...but it's kinda giving me the creeps right now," Mimi replied quietly.
Kyle and Mimi picked up their respected starter Pokemon and walked to Violet City's gym. They both stood near the entrance; looking up at the gym.
"You going to go in Kyle?" Mimi asked, still looking up.
"Y-yeah," Kyle replied, he too was still looking.
As the two of them entered the gym. They saw two statues opposite of each other near the entrance. In front of them was a large platform.
"Where's the leader?" Mimi asked. Kyle shrugged. They walked onto the platform. There they saw another but smaller platform.
"Okay this is just weird," Kyle said, looking around. He stepped foot on the small board, Mimi followed after. They suddenly shot up high into the sky and stopped abruptly.
"W-what the hell was that!" Kyle choked out. There at the far end was the leader, standing there.
"I think this is where you'll be battling Kyle..." Mimi said, clutching on Kyle's left arm as she looked around.
"Welcome to my gym. I'm Falkner, the Violet City Pokemon Gym Leader!" he called out. Kyle walked onto the beam carefully, Mimi walked on another set of somewhat invisible beam and stood there on the side lines.
"People say you can clip Flying-type Pokemon's wings with a jolt of electricity...I won't allow such insults to bird Pokemon! I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokemon!"
"Well, I'll be honored to see what the gym leader himself has up his sleeves," Kyle remarked, testing the gym leader himself. Falkner smirked and called out his first Pokemon.
"Go, Pidgey!" a small bird popped out of his pokeball.
"Pid!" cried the Pidgey.
"Alright then, let's go with you, Totodile!"
"Toto!"
"Pidgey, use sand-attack on that Totodile now!" Falkner shouted. Pidgey then started flicking sand at Totodile, temporarily blinding the blue dinosaur Pokemon.
"Toto!" Totodile cried out in pain.
Kyle clenched his fists, "Totodile, use water gun now!" As the sand-attack faded away, Totodile breathed in. Then Totodile shot out a stream of water from his mouth.
"Pidgey, dodge it."
The bird flew up high. The water gun could not go further up. Kyle growled.
"Use water gun to lift you up, then use tackle on Pidgey!" Totodile shot water from his mouth and aimed it at the ground, he flew up high into the sky. He used the water gun as an advantage. The water-type Pokemon combined water gun and tackle and hit Pidgey in one go.
"Pidgey!" Falkner cried. The bird Pokemon fell into his arms, fainted. Falkner's expression soften up and returned the Pokemon back into his pokeball.
"You did well Pidgey," he spoke quietly.
"Alright! Way to go Totodile!" Kyle shouted in glee.
"Toto, totodile!"
"Alright Kyle!" Mimi cheered. Cyndaquil was waving his hands around as well.
Falkner chuckled and sent out his last Pokemon. "Go, Pidgeotto!"
"Pidgeot!" cried Pidgeotto.
"The wind is finally with us!" Falkner called out.
"Totodile, you take a break okay?" Kyle said to his Pokemon. Totodile nodded and went over to where Mimi and Cyndaquil were. Kyle then sent out Ariados.
"Let's go Ariados! We can totally beat that Pidgeotto!" Kyle said, encouraging his Pokemon.
"Pidgetto, use gust!" the evolved form of Pidgey flapped his wings, harder and harder until a mini tornado blew towards Ariados.
"Ariados! Hold on! Use string shot to keep you leveled!" Kyle commanded. The spider Pokemon spewed thread out of his mouth and it wrapped around the beam he was standing on.
"Alright Ariados, use poison sting on Pidgeotto now!"
Ariados shot several needles out of his mouth. They were glowing purple too. The stings were dodged by Pidgeotto, except one managed to hit him straight on.
"Alright!" Kyle cheered. The Pidgeotto staggered a bit. Some of his HP were lost because he was poisoned.
"We can still fly! Pidgeotto, gust now!" Falkner shouted. Pidgeotto flapped his wings even harder than before. Ariados almost lost his balance.
"Come on Ariados, use string shot on Pidgeotto to slow him down!" Kyle yelled. Except, Ariados' string shot did not look like one at all. Ariados shoots a couple of cobwebs from his mouth and trapped the bird Pokemon in one of the spider webs.
"That...wasn't string shot..." Kyle said, looking bewildered. Mimi look up the move that Ariados has learned.
"Ariados learned Spider Web!" Mimi called out to Kyle. He looked over to Mimi and back at his Ariados. A great huge grin appeared on his face.
"Awesome! Alright Ariados, let's finish this off with fury swipes!" said Kyle. Ariados ran towards the trapped Pidgeotto and began scratching the bird four times. Pidgeotto fainted and thus the winner of the battle is Kyle.
"I understand... I'll bow out gracefully." Falkner returned his Pidgeotto and the web mysteriously diminishes.
"... For pity's sake! My dad cherished bird Pokemon... But a defeat is a defeat. All right. Take this official Pokemon League Badge. This one is the Zephyr Badge. With that badge, Pokemon including traded Pokemon up to level twenty, will obey you without question. It also enables you to use the hidden move Rock Smash anytime outside of battles."
"T-thanks Falkner," Kyle said, looking at his very own Zephyr gym badge. Mimi walked carefully on the invisible beam and onto the wooden one to join Kyle. He returned Ariados as well.
"By using a TM, a Pokemon will instantly learn a new move. Think before you act – a TM can be used only once. TM fifty one contains Roost. It restores half the max HP," Falkner explained. He gave Kyle a little disc. Kyle took it and placed it in his rucksack.
"Awesome," Kyle breathed.
"There are Pokemon Gyms in cities and towns ahead. Make good use of them! As for your next move... I would suggest Azalea Town."
"O-okay! Got it! Thanks Falkner!" Kyle said, his eyes gleaming up at him. He got his very own badge. Seven more before he enters the league.
Mimi and Kyle, along with their starters, walked onto the tiny platform that got them up there in the first place. It rushed down back to the ground. Mimi and Kyle walked off a little dizzy.
"I cannot get used to that. Seriously," Kyle said, shaking his head.
"N-neither can I..." Mimi replied. They headed off to the Pokemon Center to heal up and spend a nice night before going to Azalea Town in the morning.
