After watching Blue overcoming his greatest adversary to become the Pokémon Champion, Dillon was excited more than ever before to do special training for his upcoming battle at the Mauville gym. As the young teen ran toward the Battle Club Facility, he had no clue that he was being followed. A man in a black suit with sunglasses appeared and followed him.
"We're finally here," Dillon said as he walked inside the facility.
Don George approached and welcomed, "Welcome back Dillon. What will you be working on today?"
"Hi Don George, Today I want to do some special training for my gym battle.
"Well, the Mauville gym specializes in electric-type Pokémon and from what I heard, Wattson uses Magneton, Voltrob, and Manectric. If you have a ground-type Pokémon or a Pokémon that could learn ground-type moves, that would be good. We have a special field outside dedicated for trainers to teach their Pokémon ground-type moves."
"Don George, let me sent out my Pokémon. Go Tyrogue, Minun, and Seviper."
Tyrogue, Minun, and Seviper came out of their Pokéballs. Tyrogue and Seviper are still not fond of each other.
"It seems like your Tyrogue and Seviper don't get along."
"Yeah, these two sure are stubborn."
Minun tried to be a peacemaker by talking to them, but it didn't work.
"Thanks for trying bud. Alright, Don George, can you help assess my Pokémon?"
"Sure, hmm… I think Seviper would be perfect to learn Earthquake attack, Tyrogue should train at the weight training room, and for Minun, what kind of electric-type moves does Minun know?'
"Minun knows Spark and Thunder Punch."
"Hmm, let's teach it Thunderbolt. It is basically a stronger version of Spark."
"Thank you very much for the evaluation."
"You're welcome, let's get you started with Seviper first."
Don George and Dillon was heading outside to the ground-type training field.
Don George instructed, "Alright, let's get Seviper to learn Earthquake. It will be super effective against Voltrob and Manectric. We can train Tyrogue to battle Magneton since Magneton is weak against Fighting types."
"Alright, Seviper. Let's learn Earthquake." Dillon said.
"Ok, usually and earthquake is caused by a Pokémon's weight as it jumps down toward the ground."
"Seviper, try jumping up and smash into the ground."
Seviper jumped up and down, but no earthquake was felt.
"That's ok. You just need to put more force into the jump. Remember, an earthquake splits up the ground. You want to use your power to cause the ground to shake. In some cases, even split the ground. Let me show you an example. Go Golem!"
Don George sent out a Golem.
Don George commanded, "Golem, use Earthquake!"
Golem jumps into the air and lands hard on the ground, making the field shake. Cracks also formed on the field.
"That's powerful," Dillon said. "Seviper, you got that? Let's do another Earthquake."
Seviper nodded his head to his trainer. He jumped towards the air and focus all his energy towards the ground. As he came down, the ground shook slightly.
"Seviper, I think you're getting the hang of it. The ground shook a little. Let's practice some more."
"Also, it is important to build up strength. Why don't you use that cushion wall over there to help Seviper build strength."
There was a cushion wall over at the side of the field. It was used as a tackle target for Pokémon.
"Seviper, run towards the wall with full force."
"And it's important for the trainer to exercise as well."
Don George pushed Dillon toward the wall. Both Dillon and Seviper ran toward the wall. Dillon and Seviper practiced for the next few hours. With more and more practice, Seviper was able to build up strength and master earthquake. Later in the day after lunch, Dillon trained with his Pokémon in the fitness room.
"Alright guys, let's exercise some more. Tyrogue, Minun, let's do push ups and sit ups. Seviper, why don't you use the dumb bells and do curls with your tail. Let's start."
Dillon, Tyrogue, and Minun did sets of push ups and sit ups along with pull ups. The pull up bar could be adjusted based on height constraint. Seviper did curls. As he did them, the poison snake Pokémon admired himself when he looked in the mirror. Tyrogue walked over to Seviper and did arm curls. Both looked seriously at themselves in the mirror and wanted to out do the other. The two rivals did the curls as fast as they could. Dillon and Minun were also doing arm curls, but were not involved in the heated conflict.
"C'mon guys, this is not a competition," Dillon tried to explain.
The four of them continued to so work outs for a hour.
"Alright, now let's head to the battlefield and work on your moves."
Dillon and his Pokémon walked to an empty battlefield at the facility.
"Tyrogue, let's practice those fighting moves. I'll be your challenger. Minun I want you to learn Thunderbolt. Just like spark, but much more powerful."
The cheering Pokémon nodded his head.
"Seviper, I'll bring over some stones. Don George said there are plates of stone we can use to practice. I want you to use Iron Tail to smash them. Tyrogue, you can use them to practice your Brick Break later. Alright, team. Let's start."
Minun practiced Thunderbolt attack and used a Spark attack for starters. The cheering Pokémon attempted to make the electricity stronger into a Thunderbolt attack. Seviper practiced Iron Tail Attack by smashing stone plates. Dillon removed his jacket and fought a hands on combat against Tyrogue.
"That's good Tyrogue," Dillon praised as he blocked Tyrogue's hits. Dillon also launched his fist and kicks while Tyrogue blocked his hits.
After a while of combat, Dillon was sweating and out of breath. He removed his t-shirt due to the sweat.
"Good job, bud! Why don't you practice Brick Brick with the stone plates? Minun, use your Thunderbolt on me. C'mon!"
Minun was confused and didn't want to hurt his trainer, but Dillon insisted.
"What, you scared bud?"
Dillon braced himself. The small blue Pokémon became annoyed and shocked his trainer with a jolt of electricity.
"You call that a Thunderbolt." Dillon teased to get his friend to be pumped.
The four of them practice through the remainder of the day and didn't even realize it was getting dark. Don George came into the battlefield. Tyrogue and Minun were battling against each other.
"You're still practicing."
Dillon noticed the club manager walking in. "Yeah, I am."
"You know it's getting late. It's past dinner time."
"Really? I better head back to my friends at the Pokémon Center."
"Yeah and I must lock up." Don George teased.
"Good job guys. Rest up in your Pokéballs."
Dillon returned his Pokémon into their Pokéballs, put his clothes back on, and grabbed his backpack.
"Thank you Don George. I'll be on my way. Good night."
"Good night Dillon. I know you'll earn your gym badge. I can see the hard work you put into training."
Dillon thanked Don George and walked out of the facility.
"Oh boy, It is getting dark."
"Well, well, well. Please to meet you young master." The man in sunglasses and a black suit appeared.
"Who are you?"
The man removed his sunglasses. Dillon was shocked.
"Sebastian!? Why are you here?"
Sebastian snickered, "How dare you leave home? I'm here to take you back on master's behalf."
All of a sudden, his henchmen appeared. There were five of them.
"Now be a good little boy and come with me."
"I'm not going with you. I worked so hard to escape that hell hole that I will never go back."
"Then, don't blame me for using force."
Sebastian snapped his finger to signal to his henchmen to move forward towards Dillon. The henchmen surrounded Dillon. All of a sudden, Tyrogue sensed his trainer was in trouble and popped out of his Pokéball.
"Tyrogue! Did you come out to help me bud?"
Tyrogue nodded his head while holding a fighting stance.
"I see you still have that pathetic Pokémon."
"We'll show you. Bud, let's fight them."
Dillon, Tyrogue, and the henchmen fought against each other in a hands on combat. However, the henchmen had clubs. Dillon practiced martial arts since he was a young child and is now ranked a black belt. All of a sudden, it started to rain. Everyone was still fighting against each other. Dillon received several hits from the clubs, but with Tyrogue's help, he was able to fight off the dastardly henchmen.
"I will not go home," Dillon yelled as he's fighting in the rain.
As Tyrogue was receiving hits, his body glowed red. When a henchmen was about land another hit, he was blown backwards. Everyone stopped fighting.
"Buddy, was that counter? You learned counter!" Dillon said happily. "Who knew through this turmoil that something good can happen."
The man in sunglasses became frustrated. He ran towards Dillon and yelled, "You're coming with me!"
Tyrogue used counter at the man and blew him backwards toward his henchmen.
"Let's run bud." Dillon and Tyrogue took the oppurtunity to run away.
Laying on the ground, the man watched as Dillon ran away. "I'll get you and when I do, you'll pay for what you did."
After some distance, Dillon fell. He was weak from the fighting. His clothes were soaked. Tyrogue became worried and looked at his trainer. The scuffle Pokémon tried to pump up his trainer.
Dillon was exhausted, "Buddy, this is the first time I saw you with a worried look."
Tyrogue tried to help his trainer up.
"Thanks buddy, I can get up."
Dillon got up and the two friends smiled to each other.
"Let's head back. Race ya."
Dillon and Tyrogue raced back to the Pokémon Center in the rain. They entered to center and walked up to Nurse Joy.
"Oh my, you two are soaking wet!" Nurse Joy said in shock.
Dillon asked, "Nurse Joy, Please look after my Pokémon. Tyrogue, thanks for tonight. Please get some rest."
Dillon returned Tyrogue inside his Pokéball and gave his three Pokéballs to Nurse Joy. Dillon himself went straight to the bathroom to wash up while Annie and Cirie were in the dining hall chatting with Seth.
In the bathroom, Dillon removed all his clothes except his boxers. His body was covered in wounds. Blood dripped from his lip and a bruise surrounded his left eye.
He looked into the mirror, "So... Dad did this to me."
He grabbed his first aid kit from his backpack.
"Those bastards."
As he's treating his wounds, all he thought about was his mom whom he left back home.
Dillon was sitting lamenting in an alleyway with Tyrogue standing by his side. All of a sudden, his mother approached.
Dillon's mom said, "Hey Dillon, Look what I have."
"What mom?"
Dillon's mom has a backpack, a set of clothes, and a ticket.
"I have here your backpack and a change of clothes. I want you to follow your dreams and go on your journey. I packed everything for you in this backpack. Also, here is a ticket for you to head to Slateport City in the Hoenn Region that leaves in an hour."
"But, mom. What about you? Won't Dad find out?"
"Don't worry about me. I'll figure out what to say. Now take this and head out as quickly as possible before the sun rises."
"Mom, how can I ever thank you?"
"Win the Hoenn League. And don't call me what so ever."
Dillon gave his mom one last hug.
Dillon is in the bathroom facing down towards the sink. He looked up at the mirror and saw his own reflection. His face had a scar with blood dripping towards the sink. He started to cry.
"Mom."
That's it for the second part. Will Dillon escape Mauville now knowing he's being hunted down? Will he get that Mauville gym badge or will it have to wait?
