Vs Miror B.
The Ludicolo of Miror B. prepared to attack. So were our heroes.
"Go Pikachu," Ash commanded.
"Go Chu," Terry yelled throwing a ball. Chu came out ready to fight.
"Go, Espeon, Umbreon," Wes called having his two pokemon ready to attack.
"Rain Dance," Miror B. called. The Ludicolo made a little dance and rain came down.
"Big mistake," Ash said. "Pikachu, Thunder."
"Piikaaachuuuuuuuuuu," Pikachu yelled firing a stream of lightning.
"Ludicolo, use Double Team," The four pokemon multiplied. Thunder hit some of the clones, but not the real ones.
"Now, Hydro Pump," Miror B. commanded. The Ludicolo fired a blast of water at Chu, Pikachu, Espeon, and Umbreon. "Again my darlings,"
"Umbreon, Torment," Wes commanded. Umbreon let dark energy out. "Now your pokemon can't use any attack twice in a row."
"Nothing off my back," Miror B. said. "Use Leech Seed,"
The four Ludicolo shot out seeds at the four enemy pokemon. The seeds began to zap the four of their energy and give it to Ludicolo."
"This is bad," Terry said. "Chu, use Light Screen,"
"Espeon, Reflect," Wes commanded. The two pokemon put up a barrier.
"That old trick?" Miror B. asked. "I've seen you do that when you fought Trudly. Lucky for me, I have just the attack for that. Ludicolo number two, use Brick Break,"
"No, not that attack," Wes said worried.
One of the Ludicolo charged at the enemies, and broke the barrier. The pokemon were hit.
"What happened," Ash asked. "Shouldn't the barrier have stopped it?"
"If it were any other attack," Wes said. "But Brick Break destroys barriers such as Reflect and Light Screen."
"Correct," Miror B. said. "I had a feeling you were going to use that trick, so I taught one of my darling Ludicolo how to use Brick Break. In fact, I taught each of my pokemon how to use certain move to stop your pokemon."
"Stop this," Terry said recalling her Chu. "Doduo, I choose you," she yelled throwing a Poke Ball letting out her Doduo. "Your Pokemon are both water and grass types, so Doduo has the upper hand. I like to see you counter Drill Peck," Doduo ran at a Ludicolo.
"Did you say counter?" Miror B. asked. "OK, but only because you asked me too, Number three, Counter," A Ludicolo went in front of the other Ludicolo, and it started to glow. Doduo was knocked back.
"No, Doduo," Terry called worried.
"Did you think I didn't know my own Pokemon's weaknesses?" Miror B. asked. "I dare you to try something else, it will just fail."
"OK, but only because you asked me too," Wes said coping Miror B. ""Espeon, Confusion, I'd like to see you get out of this one,"
"Ludicolo, use Flash," Miror B. commanded. One of his Ludicolo created a blinding light. Espeon was unable to see what it was doing. It hit Pikachu instead.
"No," Ash called.
"He found a way pass Confusion," Wes thought. "That can't be,"
"Now my Ludicolo number two," Miror B. commanded. "Use Blizzard." A fury of snow was let out, and with all the water pouring on Pikachu, Doduo, Espeon, and Umbreon, they were all frozen.
"No," Ash called.
"And now, I can use this attack," Miror B. said. "Use Hydro Pump." The four Pokemon fired a blast of water out. It was a direct hit. The four pokemon fell back. They all were hurt, but they unfroze and got back up again. "Persistent, but as long as I get more entertainment." He then notice. "Wait a minute, where did the red head go?"
Rui snuck past Miror B. when he was focused on the battle. She went to look for Plusle. She peeked in a room, and in a small cage, was a crying Plusle.
"There you are," Rui said. Plusle turned and panicked a little. "Don't be afraid," Rui said. "I'm here to help you," Plusle simmered down and looked at her still afraid.
Rui walked over to it, and looked at the lock. "I need something to break it." She said. She looked around and saw a small hammer. She picked it up and started to hit the lock with it. "I won't let them hurt you any more," she said. "I'll get you out and you can go back to Duking." Plusle looked at her. It had a look of curiosity, but was later replaced with a look of happiness. It stared at her as she tried to break the lock.
Finally, the lock was broken. "You're free," Rui called happily opening the door. Plusle hesitated, but when it saw it was free, it went happy and jumped into Rui's arms crying with tears of joy. "It's OK," Rui said. "You're safe. Now, let's get back to my friends.
She ran to the battle with Plusle in her arms. She saw that her friends were loosing badly. "No, guys," she called out.
Miror B. turned to see her. "Well," he said "Some little girl was snooping around when she wasn't supposed to be, and took something that was not hers. Now, do me a kindness, and give it back."
"No," Rui said. "I will not let you take Plusle,"
"You have no choice," Miror B. said. His Ludicolo was advancing towards her.
"Rui," Wes yelled, "Get out of here. Confusion Espeon," Espeon caused Rui and Plusle to levitate over the Ludicolo, and Miror B. and Ash, Terry, and Wes. She landed behind them. "Get out of here; we'll take this joker on."
Rui hesitated. She looked down at Plusle. Plusle was a bit scared, but then, it had a look of anger in its eyes when it looked at Miror B. She then had the same look in her eyes. "No," she said.
"What?" Wes asked.
"We'll help," Rui said putting Plusle down. Plusle was ready for battle. "We won't let Miror B. hurt you guys any more. Either we all get out of this cave, or none of us get out."
"Foolish girl," Miror B. said. "Ludicolo, time for some attacks."
Plusle was ready for battle. Espeon and Umbreon were ready as well. Pikachu was electrified ready to go, and Doduo was ready to battle as well. They all stared at each enemy ready to battle.
"We will beat you no matter how many of you there are," Rui said as Plusle prepared to fight. "By the way… dose any one know what attacks Plusle use." Everyone including the pokemon did an anime faint.
"This is going to be a long fight," Wes said getting back up.
"Let's just try to win," Terry said. "Use Drill Peck Doduo," Doduo started to run towards it.
"Wait." Ash said. "Counter works for Physical attacks."
"Counter," Miror B. said.
"Pikachu, run past Doduo, and use Thunder Bolt on Ludicolo," Pikachu used its speed to pass Doduo, when it was close enough, it used Thunder Bolt. Ludicolo was electrocuted.
"Good idea Ash," Terry said. "Now, finish the attack," Doduo pecked the Ludicolo. After taking a direct hit, it fainted.
"You little rats," Miror B. called angrily. "How dare you mess up my beat. Blizzard," One of the Ludicolo launched a Snow storm. It froze up Doduo easily. Doduo fell back and fainted.
"Return Doduo," Terry called. "Rats, Chu and Furret are too tired to fight."
"That's OK," Ash said. "We'll take the other three."
"No you won't," Miror B. said. "Use Hydro Pump,"
"Wait," Ash said. "Rui, tell Plusle to use Encore,"
"OK," Rui said nervously, "Uhh… Encore?"
Plusle's body glown a bright yellow color. The Ludicolo looked confused. "What did you do to my Pokemon?" Miror B. asked.
"Wes's Torment kept them from using an attack twice," Ash said. "Encore makes pokemon repeat an attack. Putting the two together causes struggling."
"All right Ash," Wes complimented. "Now Espeon, Umbreon, use Faint Attack and Psy Beam."
"Pikachu, Thunder," Ash commanded.
"Piikaaachuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Pikachu yelled as its fellow pokemon used their attacks. They all had direct hits and the Ludicolo were down.
"No," Miror B. said. "You will pay." The rain from the Rain Dance attack ended.
"It's over," Wes said. "Your pokemon are done,"
Miror B. stood there, and then laughed. "What's so funny?" Terry asked.
"Who said those Ludicolo were my only Pokemon?" Miror B. asked. He took out a Poke Ball. "Sudowoodo, I choose you,"
A Sudowoodo was sent out of a ball. Rui looked at it. "It's a Shadow Pokemon," Rui said. "Be careful, this one is different from the other."
"This one was made special," Miror B. said. "This is made to have Shadow Rush and Three other attacks. It was also meant to go into Hyper Mode more easily then the others."
"No," Ash said.
"Yes," Miror B. replied. "Sudowoodo, use Rock Slide," It launched out a fury of rocks that attacked all the Pokemon. Espeon and Umbreon were knocked out.
"No," Wes yelled. "Espeon, Umbreon, return," He recalled his pokemon back. "Ash, Rui, looks like it's up to you,"
"Right," Ash said. Rui had a nervous look on her face.
"Can we do this?" Rui asked.
"Sure we can," Ash assured. "Pikachu, use Thunder Bolt," Pikachu let out a stream of lightning. Unfortunately, Sudowoodo made a dance that dodged all of its attacks.
"Sudowoodo, use Mimic," Miror B. commanded. Sudowoodo launched a stream of electricity out. Pikachu took on a lot of damage, but still stood strong.
Rui was scared now. "I can't do this," Rui said. "I never trained a pokemon before, I can't do this,"
"Yes you can," Wes said. "Battling with pokemon is about having trust in your pokemon and your self. Plusle is willing to battle with you because it trusts you. Now stop doubting yourself. Look at Ash and Pikachu."
Rui saw Ash and Pikachu launching a series of attacks. Sudowoodo kept on dodging, and attacking, but they still stood strong. "They won't give up," Rui said.
"That's right," Wes said. "You have to start trusting your self, and Plusle."
Rui thought about this. She looked at Plusle who looked at her back. She understood that she can't doubt her self. She began to get a little braver as she watched as Ah and Pikachu never gave up.
"Plusle," Rui said. "Let's battle, together." Plusle nodded to her. Plusle went in to help Pikachu.
"Rui," Wes said. "Plusle are supposed to know Helping Hand,"
"I got it," Rui said. "Plusle, Helping Hand," Plusle caused a little spark of electricity to give Pikachu the energy it needs to fight,"
"You are just delaying your defeat," Miror B. said. "Use Shadow Rush," Sudowoodo charged at them.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail," Ash commanded. Pikachu's tail started to glow, and it blocked Sudowoodo's attack. It was a stalemate. Sudowoodo still advanced as Pikachu was weakening.
"Pikachu," Ash said. "Hang in there." Pikachu was starting to weaken.
"We'll help," Rui said. "Helping Hand Plusle," Rui commanded. "Plusle launched the attack at Pikachu. Pikachu was powered up. It got the ability to fight back, and Sudowoodo was knocked back.
"It will not end like this," Miror B. said angrily.
"It will," Ash said. "We will make it happen."
"No," Miror B. said. "The future will belong to Cipher."
"No it won't," Ash said. "I made a promise it wouldn't happen."
"And he will keep that promise," Rui said. Plusle then started to glow. Electricity was building up around it. "What's happening," Rui asked.
"It's using Charge," Ash said. "It powers up electric attacks."
"It doesn't matter," Miror B. said. "Sudowoodo can dodge any attack. Shadow Rush," Sudowoodo charged at Plusle.
"Not if I can help it," Ash said. "Pikachu, hold your ground and let the attack hit you." Pikachu did as instructed. It took a direct hit from the attack. But then, electricity shocked Sudowoodo,"
"What did you do?" Miror B. asked.
"It's Pikachu's Static ability," Ash said. "This Paralyzes a pokemon that uses physical attacks on Pikachu. It's up to you now Rui."
"Yes," she said. "Plusle, use Thunder," Plusle used electricity all around its body. It launched a great stream of lightning out. Sudowoodo was struck by the great attack. As it called out in pain, it fell back with swirls in its eyes.
"All right," Ash said. "Now Wes, finish it."
"You got it," Wes said. He charged up the Poke Ball. "Snag Ball, go." He threw the Snag Ball and Sudowoodo was placed in it. It started to shake and flash. Finally, it stopped. "Sudowoodo, you've been snagged."
"No," Miror B. said. "My pokemon. You… you filthy little children. You may have beaten me, but the other three administrators of Cipher are stronger then me. They will beat you before you can do any more damage. Come along my Ludicolo," Miror B. ran out of the building with his four Ludicolo following.
"You did it Rui," Ash said.
"I did?" Rui asked.
"Yeah," Terry said. "That was great."
"Pikachu," Pikachu called agreeing.
"It was alright," Wes said.
Rui smiled as she picked up Plusle. "We did it Plusle," She said. Plusle called out happily agreeing.
An hour later, they all were at Duking's office. "Thank you all," Duking said. "You saved all of Pyrite and Plusle. I owe you my dept."
"It was nothing," Wes said.
"We're just glad Plusle is alright," Ash said.
"By the way," Duking said. "You are trying to find a way to heal Shadow Pokemon right?"
"Right," Ash said.
"Well then, I suggest you go to Madam Fateen." Duking said. "She is a fortune teller, and a good one at that."
"You want us to go to a lady who claims she can see into the future?" Wes asked.
"She is indeed a great fortune teller." Duking said. "You may find her prediction useful."
They left Duking's office and went over down the street to the fortune teller's building.
"This is a waste of time," Wes said. "When I was a part of Team Snaggem, I participated in a phony future telling scam. It is nothing but a sham."
"I doubt she's a part of Team Snaggem," Rui said. "Beside, wouldn't it be great to find out what your future holds? To find out what will happen in your life, who you're going to marry, how many kids you will have,"
"A little young to be thinking about that aren't you child?" Wes asked.
Rui blushed. "Hey now, you're only older then me by one year," she said.
"And that gives me the right to call you child," Wes said.
"No it doesn't," she said.
"Yes it dose," Wes replied.
"Stop it you two," Terry said. "You guys are fighting worst then Doduo's heads over food."
"Beside, we're here," Ash said. They entered the building.
In the building was an old lady in colored robes behind a table with a crystal ball. "Hello," she said. "I am madam Fateen. What may I do you for?"
"We want to know something," Rui said. "We have to…"
"Wait," she interrupted. "I know what you look for. Go to Agate Village. The answer lies to the north."
"Agate?" Rui asked. "That's where my grandparents live. Oh my, I just remembered I was supposed to meet them days ago, they must be worried."
"You sure are late," Terry said.
"But the answer is in Agate Village." Ash said. "Let's go."
They went out side of the building. "The answer lies to the North," Wes mocked. "I can't believe we are listening to that crazy old hag."
"Even so," Ash said. "Rui must go see her grand parents."
They were half way out of the city, but were stopped by a voice calling out to them. "Hey Rui," the voice said. It was Marcia. Marcia had Plusle in her arms.
"What is it Marcia," Rui asked.
"Well you see," She started. "When you left, Plusle began to be sad. Daddy thinks it wants to go with you."
"What?" Rui asked. "But…"
"Daddy insists you take care of Plusle," she said. "It is OK as long as it's safe. Will you take Plusle with you? It will make it very happy."
Rui was silent. "Do you want to come with me Plusle?" She asked. Plusle nodded happily. Rui looked at her friends who nodded their heads as if to say bring Plusle along. Rui smiled and picked up Plusle from Marcia's arms. "OK," she said.
The happy little pokemon gave her a hug, and she hugged it back. With Plusle in Rui's possession, the gang will head north, to Agate Town, where all their questions will be answered.
To be continued…
Tell me how you like the chapter. I thought it would be nice if Rui had a pokemon. Rui and Plusle make a cute team.
