It had been two weeks, the Pokémon attacks had gotten worse, Rattata and Poliwag had both evolved into Raticate and Poliwhirl, but Cobalt hadn't caught anything else, he had been really busy with the day care.
Most of the recent attacks had been in Ilex Forest, Cobalt hadn't heard anything about Obsidian though. Almost half the people on Pokémon Island had left, they were scared, everyone was.
He took his team outside, to get some fresh air, when he saw a Scyther walk out of Ilex Forest. Scyther aren't native to Ilex forest, Cobalt had to assume that it was the one that had attacked two weeks earlier. The Scyther ran towards a young girl who had her back to the Scyther, Cobalt had to do something.
Before he could think of an idea, Raticate and Eevee both ran at the Scyther, the Scyther saw them coming and took a swing at them, Raticate was sliced into two, as Eevee jumped out of the way. "NO!" Cobalt ran at the Scyther himself, he had to do something to stop it.
Cobalt grabbed a Pokéball from his belt and threw it at the Scyther, the Scyther got turned red and sucked into the Pokéball. The Pokéball started shaking and Cobalt picked it up, then threw it as hard as he could into the nearby ocean.
Before he could go to any of his Pokémon, he heard a beeping coming from his bag, inside, he found a small radio, with a voice coming from it.
'This is a message to everyone on Pokémon Island, due to the recent attacks, all caves, Viridian Forest and Ilex Forest are currently off limits to Pokémon trainers, until further notice. There are also ships leaving from Olivine City and Vermilion City to take people back to Japan if they feel unsafe. We apologize for any inconvenience.'
He looked over at Ilex Forest to see two guards walk over to the entrance, then he noticed somebody leaving the forest. It was Obsidian.
"Nice work with the Scyther, your Pokémon died, but I guess it died of its own stupidity, not yours."
"How dare you talk about him like that, you are the one that caught him."
"And I gave him to you, because he was weak, and he proved it. So I gave him to a weak trainer."
"Then you should have kept him, because I kicked your ass."
"Fine, lets battle, Four on Four, see how good you are without using your tricks to catch me off guard."
Cobalt didn't want Obsidian to know that he only had two Pokémon, so he started the battle with Poliwhirl, then returned Eevee to his Pokéball. Obsidian threw out his own Pokéball, containing his Ariados.
"Ariados, use poison sting!" "Poliwhirl, use bubblebeam!" Poliwhirl blew, bubbles at Ariados which jumped through them, with its horn pointed forward, popping any bubbles it encountered. Ariados crashed into Poliwhirl, poisoning it with its horn.
"Ariados, don't let it get a hit in, use fury swipes!" Poliwhirl stumbled back as it got scratched multiple times by Ariados. Poliwhirl collapsed due to the poison, it had passed out.
Cobalt returned Poliwhirl into its Pokéball, then threw Eevee's Pokéball at Ariados. "Eevee, use tackle!" "Ariados! Use poison sting!" Ariados dipped its horn, which Eevee crashed into at full speed. Eevee screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Ariados! It's dinner time. Eat that pathetic Eevee." Ariados snarled as it approached Eevee, Cobalt needed to think of some way to help Eevee, he couldn't lose another Pokémon, then he heard another voice come from the distance.
"Dragonite! Use flamethrower!"
