I don't own Pokemon or any of its characters except my original characters
Rise of the Champions
Sea Saga
Episode 10, Pidgey's Battle!
"Are we there, yet?" Vinny whined. It had been three weeks since Vinny's battle with Chad and they finally decided to move on to their next destination, Aquis city, where their first gym battle will be decided. Since his defeat, Vinny trained harder than ever to be better than Chad, and when he finally got the chance in the league, he'd crush him.
"Hey, Kelsey, how far away is Aquis City, anyway?" Derek asked.
"How do expect me to know?" She replied.
"Well, you're supposed to be the smart one," Derek countered back. He didn't want to get into an argument with her. Kelsey took the saying as a compliment and went silent.
"What's wrong, Gary?" Kelsey asked. Gary had been looking up in the sky ever since they left for Aquis.
"Those, Spearow, they're chasing something away and I'm concerned," The eleven year old boy answered. They all looked up and saw about 39 Spearow pecking at a defenseless Pidgey!
"We've gotta save it!" Derek cried.
"But none of us have a flying type Pokemon so how can we help?" Kelsey asked. Vinny smirked. He threw two Pokeballs into the air and sent out Heracross and Metapod's evolved form, Butterfree.
"I didn't only train my Bulbasaur," Vinny explained, looking at their surprised faces. "I have to have each of my Pokemon super-strong!" Heracross flew up into the air with Butterfree following closely behind it. Heracross charged at the Spearows, making them scatter all over the sky.
"Sleep powder!" Vinny screamed. Obeying Vinny's command, Butterfree shook some sparkling blue powder into the Spearow. The gangs of Spearow were smart enough not to mess with the hypnotic pollen and flew off. In all the confusion, Heracross grabbed the injured Pidgey and landed next to our heroes. Gary grabbed the poor normal/flying type Pokemon and quickly went to work. While Vinny, Kelsey, Derek, Bulbasaur, Heracross, Butterfree, and even Chad watched in amazement as Gary cleaned the wounds, bandaged an injured wing, sprayed a potion on it, and rocked it to sleep. The young trainer then looked at his friends and asked "What, you've never seen a kid treat a Pokemon's wounds before.
It turns out that not only is Gary a trainer, but an excellent medical expert on Pokemon. The Ketchum family tried to round the descendants out so they could be prepared for any challenge. Finally, Gary captured the little Pokemon. For some reason capturing that Pokemon made him so excited, he almost cried tears of joy. They all walked through the grasslands when, they saw miles of miles of cracked, barren wasteland. All the trees were dead, and it looked like zombies could pop out of the gray, lifeless area.
"Who's up for taking a detour?" Vinny asked, crept out by the haunted scene before him. Derek raised his hand, showing that he was all up for the idea. Despite their efforts, Chad, Kelsey, and Gary marched on forward. Vinny and Derek gulped and followed.
"SPEAROW!" the Heroes heard a scream from above. Heracross and Butterfree quickly flew into the air, ready to fight the single Spearow. Suddenly, Several other Spearow flew into sight.
"Enemy count is about 65!" Derek said, with a little fear in his voice.
"No way my Butterfree and Heracross can beat them!" Vinny yelled.
"We're going to have to get the Spearow down here!" Chad said. He sent out his Eevee and Jolteon.
"Right," Kelsey approved, sending out her Cyndaquil and Mareep. Derek unleashed his Mudkip,
"Go, Pikachu!" Gary cried as he threw out his electric type Pokemon.
"Butterfree, return! Bulbasaur, you're up!" Vinny followed.
"Right! Err… Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur stumbled. He forgot he wasn't allowed to talk unless he was alone with Vinny. Heracross landed next to his grass type ally and the heroes' Pokemon stood ready for combat, as the Spearow dived at them.
"Thunderbolt attack!" Gary, Kelsey, and Chad screamed as their electric types charged up their power and hurled their electricity at three unsuspecting Spearow.
"Mudkip, water gun!" Mudkip fired a stream of water from her mouth and the hi-speed stream knocked a Spearow out of the air. Bulbasaur slapped two out with his vine whip, and fired his razor leaf on three other Spearow. It appeared that the Spearow were at so low of a level, that just one hit would knock them out. Eevee fired an orb of dark light and the shadow ball struck a Spearow, but it didn't stop there, it flew past the Spearow, only to knock out three other birds. Heracross knocked a Spearow in close range with his horn and Cyndaquil was firing her flamethrower like crazy at all the Spearow she could see. Soon all but 4 Spearow were left. However, the heroes' Pokemon were too exhausted to make a finishing blow. The Spearow flew up, preparing to use the fly attack. They flew up at a high altitude and dove in on Heracross, Bulbasaur, Eevee, and Pikachu. Gary quickly sent out his Pidgey, recovered from the potion and ordered it to use wing attack. The Pidgey obeyed and slammed two Spearow with its wings. The Pidgey then flapped its wing at a high speed, causing a small twister to appear. The gust attack struck a diving Spearow and blew it out of the sky. The only remaining Spearow, the one aiming at Eevee, was struck by a shadow ball and fainted.
"Pokeball, go!" Derek cried. His Pokeball caught the Spearow and the Heroes recalled all their Pokemon and celebrated. They walked on, marching to their destination once again. Soon after the heroes left, ten Spearows glowed a white light. Their anger caused them to evolve into Fearow, a much more powerful Pokemon. The Fearows then flew off into separate directions to train. When the time was right, they would only have one thought in their mind; revenge.
"We've made it!" Kelsey cried.
"This isn't Aquis City," Derek said.
"No, but finally some civilization!" Kelsey said. It had been ten days since the Spearow incident and the heroes were dirty, sweaty, tired, and hungry. The first thing they were about to do was heal their Pokemon, check in to a hotel, wash up, get some dinner, and hit the sack.
"What's this town called, anyway?" Gary asked.
"It's called Burgundy Town," Answered Derek, looking at his map. The heroes were just walking out of the PokeCenter when
"You're a group, aren't you?" A girl asked.
"Yeah," Vinny replied.
"How about when your Pokemon get healed you can visit us at the Burgundy Trainer House?" The Girl suggested. "I just know our group can beat your group!"
"Yeah, right!" Vinny responded. "With all the training we've done, I know we can't lose!"
"By the way, my name's Kristen, What's yours?"
"Vincent Vinny Parker, and my friends are Derek, Kelsey, and Gary. Our schmuck of a team leader is Chad," Chad didn't flinch at all. He just stood there, arms crossed, and his eyes closed.
"Good, I suppose you'll be there at 8 tomorrow morning?"
"You got it!" Vinny said excitingly. Kristen walked off, and Vinny almost forgot about dinner. Lucky for him, his stomach was there to remind him. They walked off, preparing for the battle ahead of him the next morning.
Author's Notes: I finally finished ten chapters. By the way, I'm still deciding whether or not Chad's Eevee should evolve to an Espeon or an Umbreon. Maybe your reviews could help me out…R&R please!
