Episode 10 – Garden Metropolis Catching Contest
"Yes, Riolu we won!" I shrieked as I hugged Riolu. Riolu had just hit our opponent, Servine, with a Sky Uppercut. That was the final blow, and Riolu was leveling up steady. It has been days since the Corless incident, well, that's what I call it, and we remain it Striaton City. We stayed because Fennel wanted to keep analyzing me and it was nice to have a brake in a town. It was just what I liked to do, spend a few days exploring the city. Some people just walk straight through but not this guy. Lilly had left yesterday and I hadn't seen Officer Jenny since that night. Lilly and I had a quick battle but I beat her Herdier with Riolu, since it had the type-advantage.
"Great battle Nick, I'm surprised you beat my Servine," a young boy told me as we shook hands.
"Yeah, me too. But my Riolu is finally getting pretty powerful," I replied. I quickly rushed back to the Pokemon Centre and got Riolu healed up. I looked on the wall while I was waiting and I saw a poster up saying,
"Garden Metropolis Catching Contest! On Thursday at 12pm. Come along and catch yourself a Pokemon. You can catch a water, a grass, a bug or even a normal-type in the Garden Metropolis! Come and join the fun!"
"That looks cool," I said and gazed at the poster. It was Thursday tomorrow so it was still one day away.
"Are you ready to go Nick?" May asked as she walked down from where the rooms were.
"I know I said that we'd go after my battle but look!" I exclaimed and pointed at the poster. May read it and then gazed at it in awe like I did.
"Let's do that!" she screamed.
"But we'll have to wait till tomorrow," I told her. She just shrugged and ran back to the room to tell Max. I walked over and got Riolu before going back over to the Battle Club. "Now let's see what opponents there are…" I looked at trainers but most of them had really weak Pokemon until I finally came across a face. "Zayne!"
"This will be a one on one battle, no substitutions. And begin!" Don George announced. I found Zayne and challenged him, and he smugly agreed. He was a little bit 'up himself' but a battle is a battle.
"Blitzle, I choose you!" he shouted and sent his pokeball soaring through the air. "I may only be nine but my Blitzle is strong!"
"Rock and roll Tepig!" I yelled as I threw my pokeball, backhand of course.
"Pig!" Tepig snorted as it entered onto the field. I figured since Tepig didn't get to battle the other two Striaton brothers then he should battle this one.
"Zle!" Blitzle neighed as it stomped its hove on the floor, signaling it was ready to fight.
"Tepig, start with Flame Charge!" I shouted.
"Blitzle, use your Flame Charge!" Zayne commanded. Both Pokemon started stampeding along the battlefield, engulfed in flames. Their spirit shone through as they collided head first. Both Pokemon struggled but one gave in, and that was my Tepig. It tumbled backwards and rolled to my feet.
"You ARE strong," I told him. "But Tepig and I aren't giving up that easy. Tepig, use Ember!"
"Te-pig!" Tepig screeched as it sprayed a shower of ashes and sparks all over Blitzle, who grunted and shook the attack off like it was nothing. It wasn't really anything I suppose, because it was only an Ember. Tepig had been leveling up steady but still, no new moves. I don't know if it will even be tough enough to fight in the Nacrene Gym.
"Counter with your Shock Wave!" Zayne retaliated and Blitzle obeyed its trainer by sending a shocking wave of electricity out of its body, forming a ring. It electrocuted Tepig and a mighty shriek came from my little Pokemon. Blitzle must at least me in the high twenties in levels, with that powerful of a Shock Wave. "Now finish this, use Stomp!"
"Blit!" Blitzle neighed as it came speeding along towards Tepig, it raised its hoof and it looked like this battle was just about over until I finally shrieked,
"It's not over until it's over. Tepig, rock and roll with your Tackle!"
"Pig!" Tepig snorted as it jumped and tackled Blitzle. A loud thud came from Blitzle as it fell; Tepig and I were finally making a comeback.
"Use Ember, full power!" I called and Tepig immediately saturated Blitzle, who was still laying helplessly on the floor, in a roaring fire. That was by far the strongest Ember I've ever seen from any Pokemon. Tepig roared and put its foot over Blitzle's body, showing its dominance.
"You think Blitzle's down? We're not even close to being out of this match. Blitzle, finish with Shock Wave!" Blitzle looked up at Tepig, who was still on top of it and smiled. It then let out a mass amount of electricity which fried him to the bone. Tepig then fainted on the spot.
"Tepig is unable to battle; therefore the winners of this one on one battle are Blitzle and Zayne!" Don George announced. I returned Tepig silently and didn't say a word to anyone.
"Hey Nick, great battle. Why don't I load my number into your X-Transceiver, just in case you ever want to battle again," Zayne offered. I nodded and he loaded his number into my X-Transceiver. "Bye!" he ran out and returned to the Striaton Bistro. That was yet another loss. I'm weak. I lost to Corless, I barely won against N and that's only because of May's Blaziken and now I've lost to Zayne. This journey isn't turning out the way I planned. I started to walk back to the Pokemon Centre and before I knew it the sun had set and the moon had rose. A thought popped into my head, what I need is a strong new addition to my team. With a mighty powerful Pokemon I would never lose. If only Braviary never abandoned me, then I'd never be in this funk…
As we walked over to the Garden Metropolis the next morning, the same idea stayed in my head. I needed a new Pokemon. I don't really like bugs so I won't be catching one of those, and they aren't usually strong. Plus, I already have a grass and normal-type so I guess I'll be aiming for a powerful water-type. Maybe it'll be something like a Palpitoad, or an Alomomola. Hey, a Panpour would do just fine.
"Welcome one, welcome all to the Garden Metropolis Catching Contest!" the host announced. He was a medium height man and had a nice black suit on. It was one of those suits that were like James Bond's or Barney Stinson's. "We are gathered here today to catch some Pokemon. The rules are, you may only take one Pokemon with you to capture other Pokemon, and the rest will be safely put in our storage room. You only get 3 Park Balls so use them wisely. Also, after you have caught your Pokemon to determine the winner you will have a battle round, and the winner of that wins themselves a Fire Stone, a Leaf Stone and a Water Stone. Those are three stones that help you in order to evolve your Pokemon, but it only evolves some Pokemon. So, without further ado, let's get registering!"
We all rushed over to the registration desk where a woman was taking down our names and the Pokemon that we were using.
"What's your name?" she questioned.
"I'm Nick Batlam and I plan on using my Snivy," I said and pointed to the Pokemon on my shoulder. I had got Snivy out all ready so that we could head straight off after we were registered. Riolu was with Chili back in the Striaton Gym. I asked if he could stay there while I was doing the catching contest and he happily obliged. After we were all registered May, Max and I ran off into the Garden Metropolis.
"Guys, I think we should split up. I mean, if we see a Pokemon then we'll all want to catch it," May told us. We agreed and went our separate ways. I headed for the river while Max went deeper into the forest.
After hours of searching along the river shore and even diving in a few times I just couldn't find myself a water-type. There had already been like 15 participants back with Pokemon and we were running out of time.
"10 minutes left!" the woman shouted over the intercom. "Oh, we have another contestant back. His name is Max and him and his Treecko caught a Joltik! Congrats! That's a rare find here." So Max caught himself a dirty little bug. Ewww. Suddenly, I saw the water ripple. I could see a Pokemon swimming along the river but I couldn't tell what it was. I reached in but it attacked my arm.
"Hey!" I screamed. "Snivy, pull that bastard up with your Vine Whip!"
"Vy," Snivy said as it shot two vines out, that shot into the water and wrapped around the Pokemon. Snivy pulled it up and what I saw was the best thing I'd seen all day.
"It's an Oshawott!" I shrieked. I couldn't have imagined finding an Oshawott here. "Snivy, use Leaf Tornado on it!" Snivy, still holding on to Oshawott with its vines, sent a tornado at Oshawott. It got caught amongst and was crying out in pain. "Now finish it with Tackle!"
"Wott!" Oshawott called and forced its way out of the tornado and dodged Snivy's Tackle. Oshawott then pulled out its shell, which had a sharp blue point on the end, and started running at Snivy. After several swipes Oshawott struck a pose and then muttered, "Osha-wott." Snivy fell to the floor and cringed with pain. Oshawott then spun around and started to spray Snivy intensely with a Water Gun. Snivy put its tail up to defend right before shooting out two vines, which strangled Oshawott and stopped the Water Gun. Was this like a wild battle or something because I didn't give a command?
"Snivy, use Tackle!" I instructed and immediately, Snivy hurdled itself at Oshawott, who was doing the same. As two Tackle's collided, they both stumbled back, holding their heads. Obviously two heads getting knocked together hurts. I know that experience too well… *Shivers*. Oshawott was struggling to get up, maybe it wasn't as strong as I originally thought. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere Oshawott jumped up and saturated itself in water, before slamming into Snivy. It looked like an Aqua Jet from what I saw in the brief second. Oshawott then quickly shot an almighty Water Gun at Snivy, and the shiny aqua blue water shone on Snivy's skin. Snivy looked at me with hope; I was being a bit slack on commands.
"Snivy, use Leaf Tornado and then finish with your Tackle!" I yelled.
"Sniv!" Snivy screeched as it did as I told it and gathered leaves and all sorts of powerful things into a cascade above it. It glowed, and made Snivy look radiant. Snivy fired it, and once again Oshawott got caught in it and before you knew it, Oshawott was knocked out with Snivy's roaring Tackle.
"Osha!" Oshawott shouted as it lay on the floor, feeling the pain from the two attacks. It was in agony, I needed to put it out of its misery… with a pokeball. Not by killing it! You monsters…
"Rock and roll pokeball!" I called as I threw the device, and it tapped Oshawott on the head. In wobbled a few times but then Oshawott broke free and jumped out.
"And Nicola has just came back with a Heracross!" the woman announced. That's not even a Unova Pokemon. Unova is changing. I mean, a few years ago when I was ten years old there was nothing here but Unova native Pokemon that could be found nowhere else, but now, we have a whole bunch of different species. Although there's only about 50 extra Pokemon at the moment, I bet it will increase in a year or so time.
"Use Tackle, and make it faint!" I shrieked. Oshawott looked shocked, as did my Snivy at the thing I just said. Usually, I'm not the person to want Pokemon to faint but a desperate time calls for desperate measures.
"Vy!" Snivy cried as she sprinted forward and head butted Oshawott, who fell back into the water. He didn't come up, and it had been 10 seconds at least. Guilt rumbled in my soul, so I had nothing else to do but jump in and retrieve my Oshawott. My eyes stung as I opened them underwater to look for Oshawott, and although everything was sort of fuzzy I made out the picture of a little Pokemon sinking slowing to the bottom. Although it wasn't that far down I still went up to breathe just in case. I quickly swam to the bottom and grasped my, I mean Oshawott. I carried him to shore and immediately Snivy and I tried to wake him up.
"Wott…" he murmured. His eyes opened and I gave him a giant hug, and he returned it.
"Oshawott, would you mind coming in the pokeball now?" I asked and he happily nodded. He jumped in, and there was no wobbling since there was no struggle. That's right; I had just caught myself an Oshawott!
Later, as we returned to the stage everyone was crowded around since catching time had ended 5 minutes ago. Half of us were waiting in line to be recorded for the battling round while the other half sulked and waited on the bank. Everyone had to stay to watch the battling round because they said they wouldn't distribute any Pokemon until the end.
"Hey Max, I heard you caught a Joltik," I said to my friend who was two people ahead of me in line.
"Yeah, I heard the woman say that you caught an Oshawott, and with only two minutes to go. Lucky," he tells me.
"Where's May?"
"She's over there sulking," he replied and pointed to the half that didn't catch any Pokemon.
"Ohh…" I mumbled. I looked over and saw May. Her face was read and her teeth were showing, and she was also almost drooling. She looked like Taz off of the Looney Tunes. I remember that show, I watched it when I was little. After we all signed up they announced that there were exactly 18 people that had caught Pokemon. I worked it out in my head and you couldn't do single battles with that number. It would either need to be 16 or 32.
"So, since there are 18 people we've decided to do Round Robins. A Round Robin works by having three people in a group and each person battles each other once. A win is 3 points, a tie is 2 points and a loss is 1 point. The person with the most points from that group moves on to the next round. That means we'll end up with 6 trainers; therefore we have to do another Round Robin before we can get to the final match," the woman explained. "Does everyone get it?" We all nodded before she revealed the matchups. I was with no one I knew, but among the faces of Max and I was Cheren. He is my biggest rival so far in my journey. I hadn't seen this creep since Nuvema Town, but it was unlikely that we'd face off since if he won this round his next opponent would be Max.
"Max, good luck with your battle in the future," I said as I walked up onto the stage/battlefield. I was up first, in the first group, first battle and it would also be the first win.
"Oshawott, rock and roll!" I shrieked.
"Foongus, centre stage!" she screamed. My opponents name was apparently Melanie, and she had pink-red hair.
"Oshawott, start by using Water Gun!" I commanded. Oshawott immediately sprayed a massive surge of water at Foongus, which knocked it back and sent it into a nearby wall. It looked quite fazed by the attack, I already could tell that it was a weak opponent.
"Use Stun Spore!" she instructed it and it didn't obey. It just stood there looking at its trainer dimwittedly. She groaned before yelling, "Get your ass on the fucken battlefield and do as I say or you WILL be sorry!"
"Gus!" Foongus screeched as it sprayed a yellow dust at Oshawott, who was paralyzed as soon as it touched him. She's got a temper, I mean, a REAL temper. Bigger than my mum's and May's combined. Now that my Pokemon was paralyzed, I had nothing to do. I was stumped. Wait, I know!
"Oshawott, finish this battle with Aqua Jet!"
"Wott!" it roared as it drenched itself in water, which deleted the paralysis effect, and shot towards Foongus. With that hit, Foongus was knocked out and unable to battle.
I had beaten both my opponents in the first round and so I moved on to Round 2, or known as the Top 6. Then, after those two tough battles (The Top 6 battles) I moved on, with one tie and one win. But, the bad thing about this round was that Max had to battle Cheren…
"Let the battle begin!" the old man shouted. Cheren and Max both gave each other a threatening glare as the battle started, and each revealed their Pokemon.
"GO!" they yelled in unison.
"Tim-burr," the little Pokemon said as it appeared from the pokeball. This was Cheren's Pokemon and it was holding a long wooden plank. It was striped red-pink and had a grey body. I thought that I might as well check it out with Dexter.
"Timburr, the muscular Pokemon. Timburr fights by swinging a piece of lumber around. It is close to evolving when it can handle the lumber without difficulty."
"Tik!" Joltik screeched. It was a yellow bug with a few eyes, they were so small that I couldn't really tell how many there was. I think maybe four, five?
"Start off with Thunderbolt!" Max commanded. Joltik obeyed its new trainer, surprisingly, and blasted out a yellow bolt of electricity. It electrified Cheren's Timburr, and you could almost see its skeleton. As the bolt stopped Timburr fell to the floor, smoking.
"Timburr, use Hammer Arm!" Cheren screamed. Wait, Hammer Arm?! Isn't that a very high powered move for such a young Pokemon? Timburr then started to run up to Joltik, and even though his trainer told him to dodge he just stayed there, immobilized. Timburr was about to slam its wooden plank into Joltik, but it suddenly stopped glowing and it returned to a normal piece of wood. "Shit it didn't work!"
"Now Joltik, use Bug Bite!"
"Tik!" Joltik whined as it jumped at Timburr, who was still right in front of it and gnawed on it. Timburr started running around everywhere going crazy, and trying to shake Joltik off but it stayed on, not letting go.
"Now, finish with one more Thunderbolt!" Max yelled. Joltik, still crunching on Timburr, suddenly unleashed a massive jolt of lightning at Timburr, who immediately fell to the ground, sparks still causing static on its body.
"Timburr is un-" the man stopped as he took a closer look at Timburr, who was still moving and getting up. Although it struggled, Timburr rose to its feet once more.
"Maybe you're not so useless…" I heard Cheren mutter. "Use Rock Throw!"
"Burr!" Timburr roared as it picked up massive amounts of rocks and started to throw them at Joltik, who hated sharp rocks that pelted the bug-side of it.
"We'll have to stop it with Electroweb!" Max shrieked.
"Joltik, jol!" Joltik screeched as it shone yellow, right before shooting a web out of its body that caught all the rocks that were being hurdled towards it. Then as it hit Timburr it wasn't just electrified, it was hit by all the sharp stones that were in it. It also stuck Timburr to the ground unable to move and after a few seconds, unable to battle.
"That's it for this match, and Max will be moving onto the next round since this was the last match of this Round Robin," the man in the black tux announced. I looked over at Max with a massive smile, and he returned it. The two of us were the finalists, and we were going to face off. Joltik vs. Oshawott, who will win?
"The winner takes it all. The three stones of evolution!" the man yelled. He showed the Fire Stone, the Water Stone and the Leaf Stone to us and my eyes glimmered at the sight of them. I was going to win and get myself those stones. Who knows, maybe I might have a Pokemon that needs one of those stones to evolve. After that he put them back in his pocket and turned serious. "The final battle between Nick and Max will now commence. Begin!"
"Oshawott, rock and roll!"
"Joltik, get ready to fight!"
As both Pokemon entered onto the battlefield they glared, but saw that we, their trainers, were smiling. They looked a bit confused as to why we were smiling but we continued anyway.
"Use Water Gun!" Nick commanded. Oshawott sprayed a threatening water blast at Joltik, who was blown back onto a wall much like Foongus was, but I could tell that Max had already calculated a strategy to defeat me.
"String Shot!" Max called.
"Tik!" Joltik roared as it sent lots of single threads at my Oshawott, who was soon tangled in the web. Oshawott pulled and tugged but to no prevail.
"Use Thunderbolt on the threads!" Max instructed. Joltik jumped on the original ends of the threads and quickly unleashed a massive Thunderbolt onto them. I saw with my own two eyes the electricity climbing the wen=b, and as soon as it reached my Oshawott… BOOM! Oshawott was on the floor, twitching still in threads. I had to do something while it was still able to battle.
"Oshawott, use Razor Shell to cut the string and then slice and dice Joltik!" I shouted.
"Osha—wott!" Oshawott screeched as it got out its 'blade' and started to cut everything around it, slicing them all in half. After the web had disappeared Oshawott ran up to Joltik with its shining blue shell and slashed it. Joltik roared at Oshawott after the swipe and it started going crazy with Thunderbolt. There was a jolt here and a jolt there and a few jolts later Joltik was all jolted out. I said jolt too many times I can't stop anymore. Jolt. Jolt. Jolt. Jolt. Jolty, jolt, jolt, jolt!
"Joltik, try to use Bug Bite!" Max told his Pokemon but it didn't move.
"This is our time to shine! Oshawott, use Tackle!" I commanded.
"WOTT!" Oshawott stampeded along the battlefield, approaching Joltik at warp speed. SLAM! Oshawott hit Joltik right on the head. Then, suddenly, Joltik started releasing masses amount of electricity and a surge of power rushed around Oshawott, before exploding in both their faces and flying backwards. Obviously, Joltik had an overcharge and it needed to be released. As the man studied both Pokemon, they both looked knocked out but then Joltik started to get up and it shook its head and looked around confused. It seemed like it didn't remember a thing.
"Oshawott is unable to battle, therefore Max and Joltik are the winners which means they have won the Garden Metropolis Catching Contest!" he declared. Max and Joltik jumped for joy and gave each other a hug, but as soon as their bodies touched max was electrocuted much like my Oshawott. I guess there was a little bit left over.
"Now, if you'd please place the Pokemon that you caught in this box we will heal them for you," the woman explained. Every contestant rushed to put their Pokemon in, and Max and I followed. As they walked back into the tent with the box we all waited patiently outside, when suddenly.
EER!
A car appeared from the other side of the tent and drove out to greet us. The man took and woman snickered and ripped off their clothes. There, standing in front of me with all my Pokemon and everyone else's was Amy and Trent.
"Those voices…" Amy murmured.
"Twerps are nearby…" Trent muttered.
"A white fire in me, blazes on throughout my life," Amy told us.
"And black lightning, strikes me close to my heart," Trent recited.
"We were brought together because," Amy started.
"Of our frozen grey souls," Trent finished.
"Now let the Dragon Trio come forward!" they both shouted.
"I'm the fierce blazing Amy!" Amy screamed.
"And the thundering Trent electrifies all!" Trent yelled.
"Now surrender, and bow before Team Rocket!" they both exclaimed.
"Fucking hell!" I shrieked. They looked at me in despair, obviously by now they didn't know I hated them. "Give back our Pokemon!"
"Your funny kid," Trent smirked sarcastically.
"Thank you," I replied, ignorantly. After that, they went back behind the wheel and started to drive through the crowd, luckily everyone avoiding the dune buggy except one guy called Joe, whose legs were trampled on. He made it through but he was paralyzed for life. He was a very strong man with massive upper-body strength and married a woman called Bonny. Anybody get that?
"Get back here!" Max exclaimed but to no prevail, they kept driving and went further into the city.
'Riolu, Amy and Trent are on the loose. Stop them," I instructed him through my mind.
Seconds later I looked up and saw a massive aura blast and also Amy and Trent flying away. Three stones fell from the sky and dropped onto the ground in front of us. Max picked them up happily, I guess he got his prize after all. Riolu dashed up to me, all the way from town.
"Wow, Riolu, how'd you get here that fast?" I asked him. Riolu smiled and gave me his signature thumbs up before dashing back into the city and racing back, bags in his hands.
"That was Extreme Speed…" Max murmured to me.
"You learned Extreme Speed!" I shrieked and Riolu happily nodded, before opening the bags and revealing all the pokeballs. Everybody crowded around my Pokemon to get their pokeballs back but I didn't just feel pride, I felt our bond growing stronger…
"Thanks Chilli for looking after Riolu," I told Chilli as we left the Striaton Bistro.
"And Zayne! Don't forget to thank Zayne!" Zayne shouted. We walked back to the Pokemon Centre and got all of our Pokemon back from Nurse Joy. We'd asked her to heal them for us just before we left. This was the last day in Striaton, and we were leaving now. As we started to walk out of town we heard a woman shouting and screaming after us.
"WAITTT!" she shrieked. We turned around to see Dr. Fennel running up to us. SLAM! She crashed into all of us and we fell flat on the floor.
"Hey Fennel," I say and give her a cheerful smile.
"Nick, I thought that I'd give you this," she said and handed me an object that I recognized.
"A C-Gear!" I screamed in astonishment.
"Yes, do you know how that device operates?" she questioned me.
"Of course I do! I know the C-Gear inside and out! I've always wanted one!"
"Well, this is just a little gift to help you on your travels. I wish all of you the best of luck," she told us before turning around and walking away. We said our goodbyes to Striaton, and that was finally one chapter of my journey complete!
Narrator: As Nick and co. left town what awaits them on their journey. Yet, on the other side of town there was one man entering…
"It's good to be home!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
NEXT EPISODE – The Flock

Anyway, next chapter a certain Pokemon returns… And guys, if you have any things you want to see happen in this story put it in a review and… well review.

Until next time - MonfernoFreak
