Chapter 10: The Vision
I would have never expected to have met him here at the elemental academy. Silk, Wynn, and Kasumi stood beside me.
"Hey Mezuki, Who is that?" Kasumi asked.
The person standing in front of me wore a white t-shirt with bright red shorts and white sneakers. He had a black with red tips mohawk that stopped before reaching the back of his head. His eyes were covered with black glasses and had multiple piercings in each of his ears and one on his right eyebrow.
"Thats Mathew, an old friend of mine." I answered.
Mathew began laughing playfully. "Long time no see Mezuki my friend. How long has it been? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Lets just battle. One on one; like the old days huh?"
Before I moved to saffron, Mathew was the person that I had my first battle with. We helped eachother in battling, and catching Pokémon with. But that was a long time ago.
"When did you join the academy?" I asked.
"Last year. I am a sophmore now. I see that you are a freshmen huh Mezuki?" He replied.
"Yep, today is my first day."
"Hope you like it."
"Thanks, but that doesn't mean I will let you beat me."
"Wouldn't want it any other way."
I looked up at Tyranitar. "You wanna do this one Tyranitar."
Tyranitar stepped forward. "I do Mezuki."
Mathew laughed once more. "Oh hecks no; could that be little Larvitar all grown up? Now I know it was a long time since I saw you." He took out a Pokéball. "Do you know one of the disadvantages of evolving some Pokémon after you join the academy Mezuki?"
I shook my head. "No, what is it?"
"After you train a certain element of Pokémon, and it evolves; some Pokémon changes elements, making it unable to participate in the tournaments."
"What do you mean?"
He smiled, "I am officially a ground type trainer. My main Pokémon however, is no longer a ground type since it evolved. Now I can't use it during tournaments and other events; so I have to rely on my other Pokémon." He giggled. "But guess what Mezuki."
"What?" I did not know what he was talking about.
"This is not a tournament now is it? He threw the Pokéball into the air. When it touched the ground, the Pokémon was summoned. "Go, Tyranitar!"
Two Tyranitars of equal size now faced eachother. The surrounding people moved away for the battle to happen.
When my father gave me the egg that contained Larvitar inside, he had an extra egg that he gave to my neighbor, who was Mathew. His egg hatched two days prior to my Larvitar. We trained our Larvitars together. Has the older Larvitar, he was always defeating my Larvitar. He was the only person to have defeated my Larvitar.
I understand now. The pre-evolutions of Tyranitar are the elements of rock and ground. But when it evolves into a Tyranitar, it replaces its ground type to dark. I guess when he joined the academy, his Tyranitar was still a Pupitar.
"So Mezuki, so we don't get confused, lets call our Tyranitars by their birth names that we gave them."
It was true. Tyranitar does have a name that I gave him specifically. Though, I haven't used it since I moved to Saffron since the only person I ever knew with a Larvitar was Mathew. We used them so the Larvitars will not get confused during battles or when they were out together playing.
"Okay Jagen, lets do this." Jagen was my Tyrantar's name.
Tyranitar roared. I guess calling him by his name gave him strength and determination. "I miss you calling me by my name. You should keep calling me it after this battle."
"You got it Jagen."
"Okay, lets start this Mezuki." Mathew jumped, "Kein, use rock smash!" Kein was the name of Mathew's Tyranitar.
Kein cocked his left arm back and began to run towards Jagen.
"Jagen, brick break!" Jagen spun around quickly, and with his right fist, had collided with Kein's fist. They were evenly match in strength.
"Oh," Mathew began, "I see that little Jagen became a little more stronger, but lets see about this. Kein, hyper beam!"
What is he doing? Is Mathew trying to go all out in the beginning of the battle. Okay, two can play at that game.
"Jagen, use hyper beam also."
The two Tyranitars charged up their attacks and unleashed it simutaneously at close range. An explosion occured as a result. When the smoke cleared, Jagen and Kein stood tall, with their hands locked with eachother; showing that their strengths are equal.
Kasumi looked amazed at the power of these two beings. Silk justed stared dully at the battle. And Wynn couldn't take her eyes off of it.
"Jagen, Brick Break once more."
Jagen, instead of spinning around as he normally would, performed a normal punch instead; not allowing Mathew have Kein counter. It was a direct hit into Kein's chest; forcing him to step back.
"Rock throw!"
Jagen dugged his arm into the ground, and picked up a large boulder. With full force, he lunged it at Kein.
Mathew laughed, "Kein, smash it with rock smash, followed by another hyper beam!"
Kein shattered the boulder with ease. At the same time, unleashed another hyper beam.
Dammit, Kein was too close for Jagen to dodge. "Jagen, hyper beam!"
Again, the two beams collided, causing another small explosion to happen. If things keep going this way, the battle is going to stall and the winner will be decided by who has more stamina. Okay, I knew exactly what to do.
"Jagen, use..." I stopped my command.
I felt myself stumble as I became light-headed. Everything around me became blurry; until everything was black and I couldn't see anything. What was happening? Where is Jagen? Where is everyone?
I checked my waist, to find out that all of my Pokéballs were gone.
Soon, the blackness turned into a vast waistland with lots of bumbs and small hills. In the background, I saw a large tower that surpassed the clouds. The sky was a dark red tint
I got up from my knees. "Jagen!" He was my first priority. If I find him, maybe I can figure out where I am.
Suddenly, I heard a footstep behind me. I quickly turned to welcome my best friend Jagen; but no one was there. However, the footsteps continued. The steps turned into just one, to hundreds. By the sound of it, they steps were running somewhere; but where.
I heard a large screech from the tower. I know that screech from anywhere. I turned back to the tower to see Aerodactyl, my Aerodactyl, circling the skyscraper. Why would Aerodactyl be here out of all places? More importantly, how did he get here?
Before I was able to make any steps to go see my friend Aerodactyl, flamethrower was shot at Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl easily dodged it.
I spun around to see who shot at Aerodactyl. Coming up a hill, was not only one, but hundreds of thousands Pokémon. I wanted to get out of the way, but I did not know where to go. The width of this Pokémon army expanded thousands of yards. This is it for me. I was going to get toppled over. I closed my eyes, hoping that my death would be quick. After twenty seconds of not feeling anything, I opened my eyes to find out that the Pokémon was going right through me, as if I was not even here.
What is happening? I ignored the fact that I am a ghost or something, and began worrying that by the looks of it, this army was formed to attack Aerodactyl.
One of the Pokémon in this herd caught my eye. I knew this Pokémon. I am too sure about who it was. Its the feeling that every trainer gets when they are around one of their Pokémon. It is like a trainer can single out their Pokémon out of hundreds of others from their breed just by looking at them. I ran to my friend.
"Onix! What is going on here? What is that pillar and why is Aerodactyl there?"
She completely ignored me; or was it that she couldn't here me?
Another screech was made by Aerodactyl. This one actually hurted my ears; and as I looked around, many Pokémon was affected by it since they were forced to either cover their ears or curl up.
"Press the attack! Don't let this tyrant due anymore harm!" It was a Salamence speaking.
Tyrant? Aerodactyl is no tyrant. Sure he gets a little rough sometimes, but he doesn't really mean to hurt someone. He is just powerful.
"Flygon six, handle him while we finish off the Tyranitar and the others inside the castle." The Salamence ordered a nearby Flygon.
There is a Tyranitar inside of the castle? Is that Jagen? Who are the others? Could it be Tirtouga, Cranidos, and Rhydon? But if that is the case, why is my Onix attacking them? So many questions came up withing the little time that I have been here.
The Flygon, with amazing speed, soared at Aerodactyl. It shot an ice beam at Aerodactyl multiple times, but Aerodactyl dodged it just like the flamethrower. Aerodactyl flew towards Flygon fast, but not as fast as Flygon. They clashed, attacking eachother. Flygon was using ice-beam while Aerodactyl flamethrower. After twenty seconds of this, Aerodactyl, with his talons, gripped the Flygon's head. Even from this distance, I could here the cries of Flygon.
"No Aerodactyl, don't do it!" I screamed my lungs out. It didn't work. He couldn't here me. The cries of Flygon soon stopped.
All of the Pokémon in the army began either screaming in anger, crying of sadness, or tried to encourage the rest after what just happened.
Aerodactyl launched the dead dragon into the center of the army. More specifically, in front of Salamence; where I was. Even though I did not want to look at the dragon, my eyes forced me too. Its head was crushed severely. Blood covered its face. An eyeball was missing while the other was popped. My stomach ached at the sight.
Salamence and the Pokémon that surrounded Flygon, roared.
"You will die Aerodactyl! I swear it!" The Salamence took flight.
Aerodactyl screeched again. "Any one who gets close to the castle will suffer the same fate as this weakling." He shot a hyper beam at the group of Pokémon.
Everything began to blur again. The same process happened, but this time, I was back at the Academy. I was on my knees. I looked up. Jagen, Mathew, Kasumi, Wynn, and Silk surrounded me.
"What happened Mezuki?" Kasumi asked.
"Mezuki, whats wrong?" Jagen asked worried.
"Dude, are you okay?" Mathew asked also.
A person standing behind Kasumi stared at me. He had one eye closed while the other was opened. This eye was red, and I felt the evil in it. I got dizzy as the world around me spun around.
What's wrong with me?
Okay, thats it for the chapter. Review please; and hope you enjoyed it.
