"Pokémon Black and White: The True Legend"
Chapter 10 – Power of the Bugs:
The third Gym Today! I can't wait! ^_^
At Castelia City, as the sun filled the city with light:
"CRAP, I OVERSLEPT AGAIN!" the yelling could be heard from outside the Poké Center. Next thing the street people know, a boy dashed out of the Poké Center, ran through the streets in high speed, and almost crashed against a building, but he quickly turned to the right.
He entered the Gym, not wasting a single more second. For once, he wasn't too late.
"Mienfoo, use Drain Punch!" White commanded, as Mienfoo's fist became surrounded in a green orb of energy. He then punched the Dwebble, making him faint.
"Congratulations! You deserve this Badge." Burgh said, giving the Insect Badge to White. Iris and Bianca congratulated her, but they then noticed Black's presence.
"I'm late again." Black answered, before any question could've been made.
Some minutes later, after Burgh healed his Pokémons:
"So, ready to hear the rules?" Burgh asked. Black nodded in response. White, Bianca and Iris were sitting on a nearby bench to watch the match. "It's a three-on-three match. When all the Pokémons of one side of the field faint, the battle ends. Understood?"
"Certainly."
"Now, your turn to shine! Dwebble!" Burgh threw a Poké Ball, sending in his first Pokémon.
"Dwebble! Dwebble!"
White finally had the chance to check Dweeble's information on the Pokédex.
"Dwebble, the Rock Inn Pokémon. When it finds a stone of a suitable size, it secretes a liquid from its mouth, which easily melts holes, in hard rocks, to open up a hole to crawl into.
Height: 1'00"/0.3 m
Weight: 32 lbs./14.5 kg
Gender Ratio: 50% male - 50% female"
"So… Dwebble is a Bug and Rock-type. Larvesta and Twpig should be saved for later to battle Venipede and Swadloon. Then… Pansage, go!" Black said, sending in his Pansage to the battlefield.
"Begin!" Iris yelled out, scaring Bianca and White.
"Pansage, use Bullet Seed!"
"Pansage-Pan!" Pansage released multiple gold seeds surrounded in a light green aura from his mouth towards Dwebble.
"Withdraw!" Burugh replied, as his Dwebble withdrew himself into the shell. The seeds hit the shell, but didn't made a single scratch, which surprised both Black and Pansage. "Now, X-Scissor if you please."
"Dweb!" Dwebble got his head and front feet out of his shell again. He then jumped into the air and both of his claws began glowing light blue. He then crossed his claws in front of his body and fell towards Pansage, making a purple 'X' like energy appear in front of his claws, and slammed against Pansage, causing great damage.
"Pansage, are you ok?!"
"Pan…" he nodded.
"Don't let him rest, and use Rock Slide!"
Dwebble jumped high into the air and raised both of his claws, straight up into the air. Multiple white rings of energy then appeared above and around Dwebble's body and large grey boulders came out of the ripples of energy. The boulders then fell down toward Pansage.
"Escape with Acrobatics!" Black thought that it could work. Pansage stood up and began running at a high speed, leaving two after-images of himself behind. He dashed and jumped towards Dwebble, jumping from rock to rock, until reaching his opponent. Pansage suddenly appeared in front of Dwebble, surpising him. Then, he spun frontwards, hitting Dwebble with his tail, sending him against the ground. "Seed Bomb!"
"Pan… Sage!" A green light formed in Pansage's hands, becoming a seed. He then threw the seed against Dwebble, exploding on impact.
"Dwebble, counter with Smack Down!" Burgh commanded, as Dwebble opened his mouth and a metallic gold orb of energy surrounded in orange energy appeared in front of it. Dwebble then fired the orb towards Pansage.
"Seed Bomb!" Pansage repeated the attack, sending one orb against the other, creating a powerful explosion. When the smoke cleared up, it was revealed that Dwebble had fainted.
"Come back, Dwebble. Your time to shine! Whirlipede!" Burgh switched out Pokémons, but it was surprising to Black.
"What the-?!" Black took his Pokédex out.
"Whirlipede, the Curlipede Pokémon and the evolved form of Venipede. It is usually motionless, but when attacked, it rotates at high speed and then crashes into its opponent, protected by a hard shell. When predators approach, it moves to stab them with poison spikes.
Height:3'11"/1.2 m
Weight:129 lbs./58.5 kg
Gender Ratio: 50% male - 50% female"
"Venipede evolved. Sudden, but true." Burgh confirmed.
"But that won't change anything! Pansage, Acrobatics!" Black commanded, as Pansage dashed towards Whirlipede, leaving two after-images of himself behind.
"Steamroller."
That command made both Black and Pansage wide-eyed. Whirlipede jumped into the air and spun his body rapidly. Then, the tips of his antennae started to glow white and he slams his body against Pansage, making him automatically faint.
"Come back, Pansage. Well, let's try this one… Go, Larvesta!"
Larvesta entered the battlefield, and happily expelled soft flames from her horns.
"Whirlipede, use Steamroller!"
"Zen Headbutt!"
Whirlipede used the same attack he used to defeat Pansage, but Larvesta was ready to counter. Larvesta's eyes began glowing deep blue and her horns began glowing bright blue, outlined in purple. Larvesta then charged towards Whirlipede. The two collided, trying to overcome the other, but due to the spinning, Larvesta was sent upwards into the air, spinning at a high speed.
"Larvesta!" Black yelled out, worried. "Flamethrower!" Black tried it out. Larvesta was a bit dizzy, and began expelling flames from her horns, into various directions. Suddenly, the flames covered her body into an orb of fire, and multiple flares from it. Whirlipede became astonished when was hit by one of the strips of fire. "What the-?"
"A Technique." Iris answered, calling Bianca and White's attention. "A Technique is an attack created out of basic attacks and certain situations to create a brand new attack."
"Then… I will name this Technique "Angry Fire"!" Black declared, making White and Bianca sweatdrop.
"That's very impressive. But that won't help you. Whirlipede, Rollout!" Burgh command, as Whirlipede started rolling at a high speed, dashing through the field and dodging the flares of fire. Whirlipede then jumped, causing the orb to explode. Whirlipede landed safely, with only one of his antennae burning a bit, while Larvesta, on the other hand, was heavily damaged.
"Larvesta, can you keep up the fight?" Black asked, worried. Larvesta stood up in response, determined to win.
"Rollout!"
"Flame Charge!"
Whirlipede rolled towards Larvesta at a high speed, as Larvesta dashed towards Whirlipede, covered in red flames. When they clashed against each other, Larvesta was sent upwards again, rolling uncontrollably.
"Angry Sun!" Black commanded, as Larvesta opened her eyes and expelled multiple flames from her horns, forming an orb around her and exploding flares spurting out of the orb. Suddenly, the multiple strips of fire hit Whirlipede, making him burn up. Then, the flames disappeared, making him faint.
"Come back." Burgh said, withdrawing Whirlipede from the field. "Well, my last Pokémon. Go, Leavanny!" Burgh commanded, sending in his last Pokémon.
"Lea…!"
"Swadloon evolved too?!" Black asked, surprised. He took out his Pokédex to check out information about Leavanny.
"Leavanny, the Nurturing Pokémon and Sewaddle's final evolutionary form. Upon finding a small Pokémon, it weaves clothing for it from leaves, using the cutters on its arms and sticky silk secreted from its mouth.
Height: 3'11"/1.2 m
Weight:45.2 lbs./20.5 kg
Gender Ratio: 50% male - 50% female"
"Well, since Leavanny is a Bug and Grass-type, Fire will be the perfect weapon." Bianca commented from the bench.
"Good thing Larvesta is part Fire. Grass and Bug type attacks won't make almost any effect. And even without Larvesta, Black still has Tepig up his sleeve." White replied, happy for Black.
"But don't use the Fireworks before the party ends. Burgh has trained his Leavanny to be especially good at dodging and resisting Fire attacks." Iris commented.
"Larvesta, Flame Charge!"
"Lar!" Larvesta dashed towards Leavanny, not backing off one bit.
"Leavanny, stop her with X-Scissor!" Burgh commanded, as his Leavanny suddenly disappeared. Black was astonished to see an 'X' froming in midair, right in front of Larvesta, making her faint. Leavanny then reappeared at the place he originally was standing.
"What happened? Larvesta!" Black said, running towards his fainted Larvesta. He then withdrew her, in order to precede the battle. "Tepig, I'm counting on you!" Black sent into the battlefield his last Pokémaon.
"Tepig!" embers came out of his nostrils.
"Leavanny!"
"Leavanny, String Shot and Leaf Blade!"
Leavanny released from his mouth a white sticky, strong string from his mouth, which wrapped around his paws, body and nose, notletting him expel embers from it.
"Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!"
"Leava…" Leavanny raised his arms upwards, and the sharp leaves became surrounded in a green aura. Then, they began glowing bright green and grew. "Ny!" he dashed towards Tepig and slashed him multiple times, sending him up to the air, and freeing him from the strings.
"Tepig, Flame Charge!"
Tepig quickly recovered and fell towards Leavanny, covered by red flames. He hit Leavanny, strongly, making him back off a bit. Tepig then landed on his side of the field.
"Tepig isn't going to faint that easily."
"Tep!"
"Leavanny, you want to use a Technique?" Burgh asked, and Leavanny nodded in response. Black, Bianca and White were surprised by that. "After all, the term "Technique" was created by the Gym Leaders. X-Blade!"
"Leavanny!" Leavanny used Leaf Blade and dashed towards Tepig. Then, he crossed his arms above his head, and the leaves became surrounded in a purplish-blue flame.
"Tepig, Ember!" Black commanded, as Tepig released a spiral of embers from his nostrils. Leavanny didn't back off, and crossed his arms frontwards in an 'X' manner, slashing Tepig. Tepig was sent against Black's feet.
"Tepp..."
"Tepig, are you ok?" Black asked, worried, as Tepig stood up. "Seems so." Black smiled. Tepig smiled back. "Ready?"
"Tep!"
"Tepig, use Rollout and Flame Charge simultaneously!" Black commanded, as Tepig jumped and curled up and rolled through the ground. Suddenly, his body became surrounded by red-strong flames. "This is Tepig's very first Technique! This is the "Flaming Wheel"!" Black yelled out, as Tepig hit Leavanny, making some serious damage.
"Energy Ball!" Burgh commanded, as Leavanny formed a green orb in front of his mouth. "Let's make something new. Shoot it upwards." Burgh requested, as Leavanny tilted up his head and shot the orb. Then, he jumped up and spun, hitting the orb downwards with his ankle, sending the orb against the ground. The orb hit the ground and separated into three different orbs, which spun around Leavanny, who then landed. Then, he jumped again and kicked the spinning orbs, one to the right, one to the left, and one upwards. The orbs turned and united into one. Then, Leavanny kicked it, sending a spiraling orb releasing multiple strong sparks from the deep core towards Tepig. "This is the "Ultimate Energy Ball". Hope you enjoy it."
"Tepig, use Ember!" Black commanded, as Tepig released a spiral of embers against the powered up orb, but it was useless. The orb hit Tepig with great strength. Tepig landed in front of Black's feet again.
"Leaf Storm!" Leavanny raised both his arms into the air and his body became outlined in a turquoise energy. A large number of glowing green leaves then appeared around Leavanny's feet and floated around him, floating up until they reached his arms. The turquoise glow then faded and Leavanny pointed his arms towards Tepig, firing the leaves at him.
"Flame Charge!" Black acted desperate. Tepig's body became outlined in red and red circles of energy came off the front of his body. Tepig then charged towards Leavanny's attack through the red circles and his body became surrounded by an orb of red-yellow flames. He then jumped and flew into the air, and slams into the leaves, creating a strong explosion. Tepig was sent back, heavily damaged. "Tepig!"
"Tep…"
Suddenly, two of Black's Poké Balls opened, letting out his Pansage and Larvesta for a little while.
"Pansage!"
"Larvesta!"
"Guys… They're right! Tepig, you can do it! We believe in you to win this!"
Tepig stood up, a bit astonished by Black's words. Suddenly, he opened his eye to the widest point he could and roared. "TEEEEPIIIIIIG!"
His body began to glow bright blue, releasing multiple strings of energy from it. Everyone stared at him, surprised by the event.
"Is that…?" Black asked, but he then realized the event. "Is Tepig evolving?!"
Tepig's eyes and glowed red. Suddenly, his body began expanding at a slow rate, making his body transform. Suddenly, the glow faded, revealing a brand new Pignite.
"Pig-nite!" Pignite clenched his fists ready to figt. He turned to Black, Pansage and Larvesta, smiling confidently.
"Let's do this! Pignite, use Arm Trust!"
Pignite dashed towards Leavanny, preparing the attack.
"X-Blade!" Burgh commanded, as Leavanny also dashed towards Pignite, but he was overcome in speed. Pignite began punching Leavanny with both arms, one at a time, causing some damage for once. "Impossible! Was Leavanny attacked that easily?!"
"Now, Flamethrower!" Black commanded, as Pignite released a strem of flames from his nostrils against Leavanny, causing great damage.
"Ultimate Energy Ball!" Burgh commanded, as Leavanny formed a green orb in front of his mouth. Leavanny tilted up his head and shot the orb. Then, he jumped up and spun, hitting the orb downwards with his ankle, sending the orb against the ground. The orb hit the ground and separated into three different orbs, which spun around Leavanny, who then landed. Then, he jumped again and kicked the spinning orbs, one to the right, one to the left, and one upwards. The orbs turned and united into one. Then, Leavanny kicked it, sending a spiraling orb releasing multiple strong sparks from the deep core towards Pignite.
"Pig!" Pignite said, dodging the orb by jumping into the air. "PIIIIIGNIIIITE!" he roared, falling down towards Leavanny. Suddenly, his body became surrounded in light blue flames and leaving a stream of light blue fire behind.
"Flare Blitz?!" Black asked, surprised by seeing that attack again.
"Leaf Storm!" burgh was the one in a tight spot now. Suddenly, Leavanny repeated the attack. The gigantic tornado of leaves hit Pignite, but Pignite passed through the eye of the hurricane, dodging every possibility of getting damaged. Suddenly, Pignite crashed against Leavanny, causing a great explosion, making Leavanny faint. Pignite raised his arms and began singing in sense of victory. Black, Pansage and Larvesta smiled, hugging Pignite for granting them the victory.
"Congratulations." Burgh clapped, withdrawing his Leavanny. "You truly deserve the Insect Badge." Burgh said, handing him the badge. Black smiled at him and thanked. Suddenly, White hugged Black, making both laugh. Then, Pignite and the others began laughing silently. Black and White looked at them, not understanding. Then, they looked at each other, understanding why Black's Pokémons were laughing. They then broke the hug, making Iris and Bianca laugh.
Outside, after a while:
"Too bad Cheren wasn't there to watch the battle…" Bianca sighed out, catching Iris's attention.
"Cheren?"
"Oh! Is a friend of mine. Also of Black and White's. The four of us grew up together." Bianca explained. "Cheren was always the smartest and the bravest... And still is."
"Hmm… This Cheren guys seems to be quite the guy." Iris said, looking up to the sky. "Maybe I'll try my luck with him."
"WHAT?!" Bianca asked, yelling, blushing crimson.
"You don't mind, right? There's no need to be mad… unless you like him." Iris was now trying to provoke Bianca. Bianca, of course, started steaming.
"Grr…" Bianca glared at Iris, who was arms crossed, looking at her with a provocative look.
"Seems that we are rivals now."
"You can bet your hair on it!" Bianca yelled in a bit of fury, making Iris grin.
At Desert Resort:
"A… A… ATCHOO!" Cheren sneezed. Dewott, Roggenrola and Lillipup looked at him, woindering if he was sick.
"De?"
"I don't know… I don't usually get sick."
"Darmanitan!" A wild rampaging Darmanitan was rolling towards Cheren.
"Bring it on!" Cheren said, confident.
Pokémon of the day:
Leavanny – Leavanny has cutters on his arms and can spit out sticky silk. They use these abilities to create clothing made of leaves for small Pokémons, primarily Sewaddle, whose first set of clothes are made by a Leavanny before they hatch.
Well, let's see what happens in the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed this battle and the Techniques ^_^
