What it Means to Be a Brain – 10: Beating Battle Under the Sun!
At the top of the Tenth Set, Jindai was ready with his three Regis standing tall behind him. He looked over and saw Siraru running up the staircase with Zorua, Platinum, Reshiram, and Zekrom. The stopped as the reached the top of the final staircase.
Jindai stepped back and Regirock stepped forward.
Sotaro, who is usually the announcer for Battle Pyramid matches, stepped forward on the little stage and began, "This is our main event of the Battle Pyramid! First is our challenger, Siraru Onharu from Kissaki City of the Sinnoh Region! And over here we have the man of the hour! The Frontier Brain and Battle Pyramid King, Jindai!"
Regirock prepared for battle and Siraru took a Pokeball from his belt. He unleashed the ball, letting Zoroark out as he yelled, "Time to battle, Zoro!"
Zoroark let out a roar of approval for battle and stretched out, ready.
Sotaro let his hands down and yelled, "Let the battle commenced!"
"Beat him up good, Jindai!" Maki screamed.
Battle Factory
"The battle is beginning!" Kogomi shouted. Everyone turned towards the main screen.
"Datsura, the files are coming in from Sinnoh!" Nejiki ran up to Datsura.
"Is there any report on him with an Absol?" asked Datsura.
"Nope. Beep. Although he has a contact that is know to have a lot of Pokemon at her disposal that he seems to borrow from pretty often. Could it have come from her?" Nejiki reported.
"Possibly~" Kate watched the battle between Jindai and Siraru unfold.
"Come on!" Azami cheered.
"He better win!" Heath shouted.
"You do realize you're talking to a screen, correct?" Lila questioned.
"Be quiet!" Heath growled.
"Alright, let's kick off things with Night Burst!" Siraru commanded. Zoroark nodded and let the blast fly after Regirock. Regirock simply put it's fists up and let the blast slam into the rocks. Some dust cleared away and it was as if nothing had even happened to the Pokemon. Jindai spoke loudly to Siraru, "That may be the Pokemon's signature move, but you have to do a lot better! Now, Regirock, activate Stone Edge!"
The stones rose from the ground and flew towards Zoroark. Zoroark dodged them all swiftly. He reached Regirock but under command, the Rock Pokemon fired a Hyper Beam. But Siraru saw this about to happen and yelled, "Zoro, I command you to use Ankle Sweep!"
Zoroark nodded and dove to the ground and attacked Regirock's feet. The Pokemon fell over on the ground. The Hyper Beam was now a complete misfire and shot straight into the air at an extreme pace. Zoroark jumped into the air activated Aerial Ace. But within that instance, Regirock caught the Pokemon with both rocks for hands it had.
"Zoro, Flamethrower!" Zoroark unleashed flames from his mouth and surrounded Regirock. The Flames were a distraction, in some reality. "Now use Focus Blast!"
Zoroark conjured up a blast and launched it through the flames at Regirock. The Rock Pokemon tumbled backwards and Zoroark landed back in front of Siraru. The Pokemon stepped forward and on command, "Activate Double Team and use Substitute!"
The Pokemon split into hundreds of other Zoroark and transformed using Substitute. Siraru taunted, "How about that one, Pyramid King?"
"Good. I guess. But there is this move!" Jindai snapped his fingers. Maki formed a grin on her mouth. "You know. There are always critical moments. Would you call this one of those moments, young adventurer?"
"What?" Siraru was dumbstruck.
"Regirock. End the critical moment." Jindai paused and let out. "Use Explosion!"
"WHAT?" Siraru exclaimed.
"No way!" Zorua was probably about to cry.
Regirock, sitting in the middle of the Substitutions and the actual Zoroarks, exploded. Smoke covered the entire field from it's center. The Substitutions and Zoroarks vanished. When the smoke finally cleared up and lifted into the sky, in the center of the stage was a fainted Regirock. Near Siraru was the fainted Zoro. Explosion was a success.
"Regirock and Zoroark are unable to continue battle!" Sotaro announced.
"What kind of move was that?" Siraru yelled. "That was a child-like maneuver!"
"Did you not here me? Critical moments may end in disaster, for one side, the other, or both sides. That is just how a battle is played out. This one ended in both sides. Besides, when you have to, you have to. Return, Regirock. Good job." Jindai put the Pokeball away.
"Tch!" Siraru pointed the Pokeball at Zoroark. "That was good enough, thank you Zoro." He put the Pokeball at his belt and took out another one, yelling, "Time to battle, Rai!" He threw the Pokeball and a Raichu appeared on the field, letting out a battle cry.
Jindai looked at Registeel behind him. The Pokemon jumped onto the stage and let out it's yell.
"Let's start off with Flash Cannon!" Registeel charged the blast and let it loose on Raichu.
"Rai, dodge it and activate Charge Beam!"
Raichu jumped through the air let the move loose. It charged at an accelerating pace towards Registeel but Jindai did not tell the Iron Pokemon to do anything. All Registeel was was put it's hands over it's head and the attack literally reflected off of the Pokemon. The beam flew back right after Raichu. The Pokemon jumped into the air once more and on command used Thunderbolt
The attack let out hundreds of sparks and landed on Registeel. The Iron Pokemon attempted to move put was frozen in spot because of Paralysis caused from Thunderbolt. It seemed like the final moment when Siraru yelled, "Rai, attempt to finish this, use Volt Tackle!"
Raichu was near Siraru and started off down the stadium field, gaining speed with each jump of his feet. Lightning started to build around him until he came very close to Registeel where he launched himself into the air. It seemed to be a combination technique that Siraru favored because he then shouted, "Go right into Attack Combination!"
Raichu gave a short nod. He charged right at Registeel. The Iron Pokemon was sent flying across the stage but not right before Raichu grabbed the Pokemon and activated Fling, and sent it to the ground. Raichu came down from the sky and activated Thunder Punch, connecting hard with Registeel. Raichu shot back into the air activating the move Thunder with a long battle cry. In the midst of the attack, Registeel made an attempt to stand but Raichu landed down on top of Registeel once more with Iron Tail.
"Chain with another Iron Tail to finish this! Iron Tail!" Siraru yelled.
"Raight!" Raichu executed Iron Tail once more. Registeel was sent cry across the stage once more. The Pokemon landed beside Jindai, unable to continue.
Sotaro held his hand out in Siraru's direction and announced, "Registeel is unable to continue battle! The challenger's Raichu is the victor!"
"That was a very good and planned out combination, young one." Jindai smiled and had Registeel returned to it's Pokeball. "Thank you, Registeel. Alright. Regice!"
The Iceberg Pokemon levitated out from behind Jindai and placed itself in the air in front of him.
Raichu landed back on the ground in front of Siraru once more when his master called out, "Activate Attack Combination Number 2!"
"Raight!" Raichu let out Thunderbolt at Regice, ready to get the battle done and over with.
"Ice Beam!" Jindai commanded.
Regice fired an Ice Beam from itself at the Thunderbolt. The two attacks collided with some form of a majestic display of ice and thunder. The two attacks finally separated off in multiple directions because of where the thunder split. These streaks were now solid and made out of ice. Regice let out another Ice Beam. This time, the attack was aimed towards the stadium's ground. Ice pillars formed from the ground in a similar fashion from when Jindai and Maki were training.
At the Battle Factory, the group of Battle Frontier Brains were still investigating Onharu. Kate and Dahlia noticed the broadcast of the battle between Jindai and Siraru and Kogomi exclaimed, "He's on his last Pokemon!"
"What about the challenger?" Lila joined them at the screen.
"According to the screen, this is the second one." Kurotsugu pointed to the statistics at the sides of the screen that were there for both competitors.
"The challenger's Zoroark was knocked out?" asked Datsura.
"It was knocked out by Explosion." Ukon answered.
"So that was the fault on Jindai's part," Diamond and Pearl entered the room.
"What are you two doing here?" Azami asked.
"Passing time until the Lady gets back from the Pyramid." Diamond shrugged.
"Lady?" Kate queried.
"Lady Platinum Berlitz. Look at the screen behind Siraru-san. That is her." Pearl pointed at the screen.
Kurotsugu noticed the girl and sighed. He didn't saying anything.
Kokuran looked at the screen once more and said, "Look at what's going on."
The entire group, now gathered, saw what was going on. The stage was completely made of ice now. Raichu had trouble just standing on the ice. Moving was going to be an issue.
They heard Siraru commanding attacks. Raichu attempted to move to use Quick Attack, but that didn't work out too well. Then the Electric Mouse Pokemon tried to use Brick Break and attempts to get towards Regice. As soon as he even manage to get near, the Pokemon slammed down with Hammer Arm. The second time, Raichu did an air raid, in attempts to attack with Iron Tail. However the attack was fended off with Focus Punch.
"Ice Beam on Raichu!"
Regice conjured and activated Ice Beam one more time. Raichu tried getting up to move, but it was too late for him. There was a flash before the Pokemon's eyes and was now encased in an ice prison. Siraru tried yelling out for the Pokemon, but it wouldn't work.
"End it for the Pokemon, activate Hyper Beam!" Jindai commanded.
Regice charged the beam and let it out in a focused blast right towards the Mouse Pokemon. The ice shattered into tens of thousands of shards. Raichu landed on the ice in an area close to Siraru, unconscious from the attack.
Sotaro raised his hand in Jindai's direction and announced, "Raichu is unable to continue! The victor is Regice!"
"Good job, Rai. Have a rest." Siraru returned the Pokemon to his Pokeball. He placed it at his belt and sent out his final Pokemon. "Let's go, Absol!"
Absol let out a battle cry on entrance to the icy arena.
"This is the final battle! Begin!" Sotaro let his arms down.
"Datsura~" Kogomi called. "Their down to the final two Pokemon! It's Absol!"
Datsura rushed over to the screen to watch. On the outside, it was a perfectly normal Absol...
Diamond flipped his Pokedex open to record the new entry. The Pokedex spoke aloud, "Absol, the Disaster Pokemon. Absol live in steep mountainous regions, and rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, but should an Absol be seen by humans, it is said catastrophe is soon to follow."
"That does not sound good." Pearl commented.
"Nope..." Diamond put his Pokedex away.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be glued on the screen. Glued on to the battle...
