Chap 10: Craig's Battle Strategy

After Gill had won the Hornet Badge, it was Craig's turn to challenge the Striaton Gym

-A-

The night before his gym battle Craig was in the Pokémon centre drawing plans on how he is going to win his gym battle with Cody.

"Hey Craig!" yelled Gill

"Oh it's you." said Craig

"So are you planning for your gym battle?"

"Yeah and after seeing your battle I've planned a strategy."

"But are you seriously going to win with just Emolga and Cubchoo?"

"Oh don't you worry I've got around that for this battle."

Then Gill thought to himself 'Let's see Cody had Shelmet, Dwebble and Larvesta. And Craig has Cubchoo an Ice type and Emolga an Electric type? No wait, Electric and Flying type. So he has to be careful against Larvesta.'

"Hey Gill are you actually thinking my strategy?" he asked with surprise.

"Well it's just how are you going to win with two Pokémon?" Gill asked

"I…I told you I've gotten around that Gill."

"Okay well good luck then."

And Gill left the Pokémon centre to leave Craig alone with his thoughts and battle strategy.

-A-

Meanwhile Team Mutant had set up camp to find and catch a two legendary Pokémon that pass over the dreamyard on random occasions but Team Mutant have had people all over Unova watching the skies for anything looking like a legendary Pokémon not from Unova.

The three are setting up and Eva asked

"How sure are you that this so called 'legendary Pokémon' will even show up?!" Eva asked sounding annoyed.

"Look the boss said we must come here to catch a legendary Pokémon and that's what we're going to do." Scott replied "By the way you sure it will come here?" he asked as he look at Zorua

"Do you worry you ugly little head Scott, A legendary Pokémon comes to this part of Unova at least one every year, but what really makes this Pokémon even more special it's not from the Unova Region!"

"Well hopefully after we catch this Pokémon the boss will give us promotion." Said Scott

"I hate all this waiting around what if it doesn't come here?!" Eva asked angrily

"Well our grunts from all over Unova told us it's coming here and it will be here soon it's only a matter of time because we have this and holds a sparking sapphire sphere ." stated Zorua.

-A-

It was at the Pokémon gym the next day and Craig was ready to face Cody.

"Well Craig I hope you will be challenge." Said Cody

"Oh I'll be more than a challenge just you wait."

"This Pokémon between Cody the gym leader and Craig the challenger will now commence each trainer will use three Pokémon and the battle is over when all three of that trainers Pokémon is unable to continue."

-A-

"Well he seems pretty confident." stated Bridgette

"Yeah but he's going to battle three of Cody's Pokémon with just Cubchoo and Emolga which will not be easy." said Gill

And Dawn was floating in a meditative state next to her friends. "Maybe his strategy isn't as reckless as both of you think."

"What!" The childhood friends said in unison

"I'm sensing a third Pokémon and… it looks like… its. Hungry?" Dawn said confusedly.

-A-

"Okay Dwebble time to battle!" and the Pokémon with a rock shell came out

"Cubchoo lead us to victory!" and the cub with long snot coming out of its nose came out of the Pokéball.

"As gym leader I suggest you get the first move."

"Well thanks. Now Cubchoo use Rock Smash." and Cubchoo's arm glows orange and punches Dwebble. Dwebble rolls back. "Well Cody is that all you got?"

"Barely, Dwebble use Rock Blast." Grey shockwaves were blasted from Dwebble's shell.

"Cubchoo Dodge it quick!" and Cubchoo jumped over and sidestepped the shockwaves. "Cubchoo use Powder Snow!" And Cubchoo blasted snow like winds at Dwebble and it hid in its shell.

Craig: That's it come out of your shell.

And when Dwebble slowly came out of the rocky shell then Cubchoo charges at Dwebble jumps and punches it on the head downwards with Rock Smash.

"Quick Cubchoo use Powder Snow and finish this!" and then snowy winds came out of Cubchoo's mouth.

"Dwebble block it with your shell!" and Dwebble turned around Powder Snow did little damage "We need to finish this Dwebble use Shell Smash then X-Scissor!" and Dwebble jumps out of its shell and glows red. And while in the air it forms an X with its scythes and headed for Cubchoo.

Craig: Time to slow down that speedy Dwebble!

"Cubchoo use Icy Wind! Then Dodge Dwebble's attack." Then a chilling wind blew past Dwebble and Cubchoo dodged the attack from Dwebble.

"I don't get it why is Dwebble not as fast as before." Cody asked

"I knew you were going to use Shell Smash which sharply increases Dwebble's attack and speed, so I used Icy Wind to not only do damage but to bring down your speed. Now to finish this! Cubchoo use Icy Wind." This damaged Dwebble and slowed it down even further.

"Dwebble use X-Scissor!" and Dwebble charged at Cubchoo still out of its shell.

"Cubchoo use Icy Wind." And Dwebble was caught again and stopped in its tracks and X-Scissor disappeared. "Now finish this with Rock Smash!" And Cubchoo punches Dwebble across the battlefield and on to the wall.

Dwebble fainted.

"Dwebble is unable to battle, Cubchoo wins."

"You were great Dwebble return! So let's see if you can still win, Sewaddle come on out!"

"Cubchoo you deserve a break and it went back into the Pokéball ."

-A-

"A Sewaddle?" Bridgette said pulling out her Pokédex.

Sewaddle the Sewing Pokémon: Since this Pokémon makes its own clothes out of leaves, it's a popular mascot for fashion designers

"I guess Cody has more than three Pokémon." Said Gill

Dawn started "Sewaddle is a Grass and Bug type which means Craig is going to send in…"

-A-

"Emolga lead us to victory!"

"Sewaddle use Razor Leaf." And Sewaddle was throwing curved shaped leaves from its head towards Emolga.

"Emolga dodge and attack with Quick Attack." Emolga dodged and charged quickly at and struck Sewaddle.

"Wha… Ok Sewaddle use Tackle."

"Emolga dodge!" and Emolga danced around Sewaddle's Tackle.

"Sewaddle use Razor Leaf again and this time Emolga was hit."

"Emolga are you alright?" and Emolga got up quickly

"Now use String Shot!" and Emolga was tied up in a sticky bond that came from Sewaddle's mouth.

"Emolga break out of it!" and try as it might Emolga just couldn't break out of the bond.

"Now use Razor Leaf." And Emolga was hit

"Alright no more games, Emolga use Shock Wave!" But Emolga's attack missed because it was off balance due to the string shot."

Craig: Great. 'Shock Wave will keep missing Emolga needs its tail to use Electro Ball.'

"Sewaddle use Razor Leaf." And Emolga was hit yet again

Craig: 'Wait a minute. Yeah that idea might work!'

"Sewaddle Razor Leaf once more."

"Emolga spin around and let Razor Leaf hit you." And Emolga looked confused at the command but still did it. Now there were tiny rips along Emolga's bond. "Perfect now use Shock Wave on yourself then Emolga did this and pretty soon Emolga was free.

"So you figured out how escape String Shot."

"Yeah and I figured a way to end this battle Emolga use Attract!"

"Ah Crap!" and Emolga blew hearts towards Sewaddle and it developed hearts in its eyes. Now Emolga was free to attack at will

"Emolga use Shock Wave." Emolga's yellow cheeks glowed as they discharged electricity towards Sewaddle. And was struck

"Sewaddle snap out of it!"

"Alright Emolga end it with Electro Ball!" Emolga sent a ball of Electricity to Sewaddle.

Sewaddle fainted.

"Sewaddle is unable to battle so Emolga wins!"

"Ok your good but can you beat Larvesta!?" and Cody's signature Pokémon came out

"Easy Emolga use Attract!" The hearts surrounded Larvesta but this time nothing happened

"Yes my Larvesta is a girl so your Attract is useless here."

-A-

"Well he should have seen that coming." mocked Dawn

"If Emolga loses he'll be left with just Cubchoo against a Pokémon that is half Fire type." Said Bridgette

"Well he said he was going to win let's see how he does it."

-A-

"Larvesta use String Shot." And blasted a silky web at Emolga.

"Not that again! Emolga use Quick Attack to dodge." And Emolga dodged the attack.

"Larvesta use Flame Wheel." And Larvesta hovered in the air and cloaked itself in flame and rolled into Emolga.

"Emolga quick get up!"

"Too late now use Take Down!" and charged into Emolga cloaked in light

"Emolga no!"

Emolga Fainted

"Emolga is unable to battle so Larvesta is the winner."

"Emolga you were awesome now take a good rest."

"Okay time for my secret weapon!"

-A-

"Secret Weapon!" Gill and Bridgette in unison

-A-

"Okay Munchlax it all up to you!" and a Munchlax came out of the Pokéball eating an apple

-A-

"Munchlax? That's the secret weapon?" asked Bridgette as she aimed her Pokédex at the new Pokémon

Munchlax the Big Eater Pokémon: In its desperation to gulp down food, it forget about the food it has hidden under its fur.

"Munchlax I'll take you to an all you can eat restaurant if you beat Larvesta." Then Munchlax wanted to fight. "Alright start with Rollout." And Munchlax started to roll towards Larvesta

"Larvesta hover over it."

"Munchlax use Thunderbolt!" And sent a powerful electric bolt to Larvesta and it landed on the ground."

"Aw nuts Larvesta get up!" But when Larvesta got up it was paralyzed

"This keeps getting better Munchlax use Rollout."

"Larvesta use Flame Wheel!"

Both rolled into each other with tremendous force and Munchlax came out on top of that clash

"Larvesta use Take Down." But the paralysis was kicking in and Larvesta couldn't move.

Craig: 'There is no better time for this time for Munchlax's signature move!'

"Munchlax Finish with Body Slam!" And Munchlax jumped high into the air and landed belly first on Larvesta.

And Larvesta Fainted.

"Larvesta is unable to battle Munchlax wins and the victory goes to Craig the challenger."

"Larvesta you were great. Return."

-A-

"I don't believe it two I lost two gym battles in a row. Guess that means I have to up my game because trainers are getting stronger and stronger. Well here as proof you beat me here you've earned the Hornet Badge.

"This is getting interesting cause I just got the Hornet Badge!" Yelled Craig and his Pokémon jumped around with him.

As they exited the gym they heard a small explosion coming from the Dreamyard

"What was that?" Gill asked

"I don't know but a… a Pokémon is in distress." said Dawn

"Well let's go check it out!" Craig said

"You read my mind." Bridgette replied

Now our heroes head to the Dreamyard to help a Pokémon in trouble

-A-
