Sinnoh's newest trainer
Sorry for the late update this was finals week and I have been pr occupied. Anyways I hope you like this. If you read this please review. Anyways I hope you like this.
On the road:
The trio spent the night at the Pokémon center. After seeing Aipom Sarah practically melted. She called her adorable and Aipom barely managed to escape her grasp of perfume and ribbons.
The trainers were now on the road again. First they started to travel east. For about fifteen minutes they traveled. It was a good well kept road. There was no tall grass.
Aipom sat on Sorrin's shoulder. She made sure to sit farther away from Sarah. Treecko was running around. Piplup was in its trainers arms. All in all it was an adorable seen.
Sarah had all of her Pokémon out too. Snivy was on her head digging into her hair. Oshawott was like Piplup and in its trainer's arms. Tepig was at Sarah's feet. The Pokémon was walking nicely along the trail.
Thomas did not have his Pokémon out. He said that other people might not feel so safe with an Onix on the road. But even though he did not have a Pokémon he still talked. "So Sarah."
She took her gaze off of the road in front of them and looked at Thomas. "Yes?" She inquired.
"Well I don't think that I know what gender your Pokémon are."
Sarah looked perplexed. "You know what. I don't know that either."
Tomas almost fell on the road. "Well Sorrin why don't you use that pokedex and check for her?"
Sorrin at the time had been playing with Aipom. He was tossing stones that Aipom could catch. Thomas brought him back to the conversation. "What. Oh yes I can check their gender." Sorrin held out his pokedex scanning each one before moving to the next. After the last one he announced. "All of them are boys."
Sarah smiled politely. "Thank you Sorrin." She went back to focusing on the road.
Piplup was struggling to get free. So Sorrin let him down and allowed him to follow treecko.
"Hey Sorrin." Thomas said.
Sorrin looked over. "Yes?"
Thomas pulled out a poke ball. "Could you check the gender of my Pokémon?"
Sorrin looked confused. "I thought that you would know your Pokémon gender."
Thomas picked up Sorrin's habit and started to scratch the back of his head. "I never got Rhyhorns gender."
Sorrin pulled out his pokedex again and held it over the poke ball. "What a coincidence." Sorrin said. "It's also a boy." He put away his pokedex.
Up ahead Sorrin saw treecko and Piplup. They were standing at a crossroad. One path led east the other lead north. Sorrin instinctively pulled out his map. "Well north would take us to Eterna."
Thomas began walking that way. "Well north it is." Sarah soon followed him.
They walked in piece for about half an hour. The group only passed the occasional trainer or couple. None of which they talked to.
Finally they came across a woman who stopped them. "Excuse me." She said.
Thomas was the first to say anything. "Yes?"
She looked like she was at a loss of words. "Well I was just wondering…" That was all she got before trailing off into mumbles.
Sarah laughed a little. "It ok." She walked over to her. "Say what you have to say."
She calmed down a little bit. The next words came out as kind of a yell. "I WOULD LIKE TO BATTLE ONE OF YOU PLEASE."
Sorrin looked at her and said "I'm your man."
Sarah glared at him. "No. This time imp going to battle." She forced him to give up. He sagged his shoulders. "How many Pokémon do you want to battle with?"
The woman thought for a moment and then answered. "How about a three on three?"
Sarah smiled devilishly. "Fine with me."
The group walked a little bit to find a good battlefield. What they got was a long grassy field. The woman started the battle first. "Go whooper!" She called and a small blue Pokémon appeared.
Sarah picked up a Pokémon and yelled "Go Snivy!" The grass snake appeared.
The other woman called a move first. "Whooper use water gun!" a stream of water came from the Pokémon's mouth and was on course with Snivy.
"Snivy dodge and use Vine whip." Sarah yelled. The water avoided Snivy and wines shot out of its body. The vines violently struck Whooper.
The other woman looked so concerned for her Pokémon, Sarah didn't celebrate her hit. The woman seeing that whooper got up called her next move. "Whooper mud shot." A condensed pack of mud formed in whoppers mouth. After a second whooper launched it at Snivy.
Sarah quickly got the hang of this. "Snivy use vine whip to destroy that attack!" Snivy used his attack just in time to intercept the incoming blob. The vines broke through it leaving what remained to helplessly fall on the floor. "Now tackle!" Snivy rushed forward and smacked right into whooper.\
The woman was afraid now. "Whooper are you ok?" Was all she could call out before Sarah continued her attack.
"Finish this up with vine whip!" The vines appeared and smashed the whooper who was still on the ground. Whooper had swirls in its eyes. Thomas called the match.
The woman was almost in tears when she recalled her Pokémon. "You did great. I'm sorry." She looked at the poke ball in her hand. A single tear fell onto it. Then she sucked up her tears and pulled out her next Pokémon. "Go get them Ponyta."
The fire pony and the unevolved form of Rapidash appeared. "Ponyta use ember." The embers were fired out of the Pokémon's main.
Sarah knew that grass was week to fire so she said the first thing she could think of. "Dodge it!" Her cries were for nothing as Snivy could not avoid the attack. Snivy had taken serious damage and a bright red mark appeared on his tail.
The woman feeling excited continued with her attack. "Ponyta use ember again." The embers once again struck Snivy. The red mark on his tail glowed brightly and Snivy cried out in pain.
Thomas shook his head. "That's a burn. Sarah better do something quick."
"Snivy use leer." Was all she could think of. Snivy looked at ponyta then its eyes glowed bright then receded.
"Ponyta use ember." The woman called. However this time Snivy was quick and the aim of ponyta was off.
Sarah brightened up. "Snivy use tackle!" Snivy swiftly charged forward. But something depressing happened. The burn on the tail of Snivy glowed once more. Snivy then collapsed on the grass.
Thomas called the match. Sarah was on the verge of tears. The other woman was smiling and full of confidence. "Go Oshawott." Sarah called out her otter Pokémon.
The woman reacted first. "Ponyta use tackle."
Sarah feeling more excited reacted in kind. "Use water gun." The water jet blasted its way towards ponyta and the fire type was forced back.
Both trainers saw that this was going to be a see saw battle. The pace sped up. "Ember."
"Water gun."
"Tail whip."
"Tackle."
"Tackle."
"Water gun." Sarah looked and saw that the last attack hit hard and ponyta had fainted.
The woman did not act like she had before. She did look depressed but in a way that Sais "I will get you back."
She pulled out the last Pokémon she would use. "Go bedew." The small green Pokémon came out. It had a look of absolute determination.
Sarah looked at the Pokémon. A funny thought appeared in her head. "So I have advantage and them she does."She laughed inwardly.
The woman was giving her Pokémon a pep talk. "We can win this together bedew." She pointed towards Oshawott. "Use Mega drain!"
The attack worked allought like treecko's absorb. This however came out of the stem on Bedew. The attack was also much more powerful. It was larger and it completely enveloped Oshawott.
Sarah was frightened. Her eyes showed he fear well enough. Oshawott had fallen and was not getting up. Thomas was about to call the match when something unexpected happened. Oshawott started to glow. This glow was deep blue and not a bright white.
Sarah looked more hopeful. "That's torrent." She was ecstatic. "Oshawott, Give them your water gun attack." Oshawott smiled. He blasted an enormous amount of water from his mouth. The little bedew was hit directly.
The woman disregarded this completely. "So what if Torrent is active. That only proves your Pokémon's health is low." She looked at her bedew. "Let's give them another Mega drain."
Sarah realized that if this attack hit she was done for. Instinct took over for her. "Oshawott blow it back with water gun!"
The large jet of water came out of the Pokémon's mouth to deflect the mega drain. She plan as you might expect did not work. The water busted through, Bedew was hit but so was Oshawott.
Oshawott lay in the middle of the field. His eyes were replaced with swirls. Sarah recalled him to his poke ball and said some simple words of encouragement.
She pulled out her next poke ball. "Go Tepig!" She yelled. The small fire pig Pokémon materialized in front of her. "All right Tepig lets take down this bedew."
The other woman smiled. "I think that this is you will be defeated. Bedew use growth!"
The opposing bedew grew ever so slightly. If it wasn't for the attack being called no one would have noticed it. For all Sarah knew bedew was doing it all throughout the match. Thomas knew that now absorb would be more powerful. Sarah did not.
"Tepig use ember." Sarah commanded. Little embers came out of the snout of Tepig. Bedew was slow and got hit by the attack.
"Mega drain!" The woman yelled. Like before the beam of green light rushed out. It completely surrounded Tepig. Tepig closed its eyes in pain. Sarah saw that it wasn't going to be an easy match.
"Ember!" Again the embers hit. Bedew was blown back. It didn't look much more hurt than it had after the first attack.
"Bedew use mega drain!" The attack again came out and for the second time the attack hit.
Thomas whispered to Sorrin. "So Sarah will keep hitting with ember and the other woman will be hitting with mega drain." He made a sour face as Bedew got hit with another ember. "Mega drain will restore health to Bedew while dealing damage. So Tepig will deal damage, Bedew will heal itself. The only thing is it can't heal itself to full health, only slightly below it." Sorrin was nodding. "So this will be an intense battle. The only way that I think Sarah can win is if she pulls a new move out of nowhere."
Tepig was just hit with another mega drain. Both Pokémon looked tired but Tepig was especially hurt. Sarah knew that if she did any other attack then she would lose. "Tepig give everything you have into this next attack. Ember!"
The attack hit not any more powerful than it was before. This time something different happened. Right below bedews mouth a bright red mark appeared. It seemed to just stay there.
The other woman was concerned about what it could be. She decided to disregard it for now. "Bedew use mega drain." Now bedew prepared its attack. The red mark glowed fiercely. Bedew was obviously in pain and the attack stopped.
Sorrin began to whisper to Thomas. "Looks like Sarah found her saving move. Bedew was burned as a side effect of ember." He was impressed. Aipom was still on Sorrin's shoulder but looked warily at Sarah. She was still afraid that Sarah might try to dress her up or spray her with perfume.
Sarah had a fire in her eyes. "Tepig use ember!" Tepig also had that same fire and the attack was launched. Bedew was hit hard and it was on the ground struggling to get up. "Now finish it up with—"
"WAIT!" The woman screamed. She ran to her Pokémon and returned it to her poke ball. "I Give up you win." Those were her last words before storming off. She had tears in her eyes and whenever she took a step one fell to the ground leaving a small wet spot on the grass.
Sarah took one step towards her but Thomas put a hand on her shoulder. "She needs time."
Sarah looked back at him obviously feeling guilty. She had a few tears in her eyes. Sorrin stood back he was holding his elbow and not making eye contact with Sarah.
Sarah and Thomas talked for a while Sorrin heard none of it due to his distance. He was thinking of the girl who he beat at the beginner's tournament. She had cried. Was it just something with loosing for the first time? Then it had hit him. When he lost for the first time he had cried.
Aipom looked worried for Sarah. She sat their and after a while ran off towards the tree line. She returned with a small purple flower. She carried it with her tail hand. Running on all fours she went straight up to Sarah. Aipom handed the flower to Sarah. Sarah immediately made an "awe" sound. Sarah reached to pick up Aipom but Aipom quickly fled.
She ran behind Sorrin hissing at Sarah. The entire group laughed whole heartedly.
The group saw that it was about lunch time stopped for something to eat. Thomas and Sarah prepared the meal while Sorrin sat around the Pokémon. They picked a spot where it was mostly open field but with a large tree and a small pond. The ponds diameter was about twice the length of Sorrin.
Piplup and Oshawott sat in the pond floating around and resting. Thomas had given each of the Pokémon that battled a potion and some healing food. It seemed to have done the trick because they were all fresh and lively.
In the tree Aipom was running around and Treecko was sitting on a branch resting. Tepig stood at the base of the tree looking up. Even though he knew he couldn't climb it Tepig still dearly wished he could.
Rhyhorn slept in the field. Not too far away was Onix who was also sleeping while curled up. It was a very enjoyable sight.
After a little bit Thomas and Sarah brought out the food. Treecko was first to arrive. Soon followed by Aipom and Tepig. After them were the two water Pokémon. Rhyhorn and Onix were the last to arrive because of the lack of motivation for the food.
They all sat on a blanket that Sorrin had set out. The humans had sandwiches and the Pokémon had something like a mix of dog food and México fries. Either way everyone ate happily.
Sarah started the conversation "So, did anyone want to do anything while we were here?"
The two boys frowned "Like what?" They inquired.
"Well," Sarah started "Since Sorrin has his gym battle I was thinking we could train here for a while. If you don't have a type advantage then you will need lots of training."
Sorrin snorted "Hey if you have forgotten Piplup does know peck, Treecko can use her speed and Aipom Knows fire punch." He said defensively.
Sarah held up her hands in surrender "Hey don't need to get grumpy. I was just saying that because it is a grass type gym and Piplup is week to grass, Aipom doesn't have any resistance to grass and Treecko is week to bug and poison which are common with grass types."
Sorrin looked high at the sky and then down at his Pokémon. "If my Pokémon can pull this off then I believe in them."
