Pokemon: Live-Action!
Chapter 14: Doom Island's Flames!
The boat slowly came upon a large island. There was mostly forest, but a huge tower was visible on the opposite end of the island. Many Pokemon were visible guarding the tower, so they docked on the other end of the island. Ash and Darkrai shook the other Pokemon awake. "C'mon guys. We have to get going." Ash said. Pikachu, Leafeon, and Marshtomp nodded and followed. They journeyed deep into the forest. Darkrai was slightly concerned by the lack of Pokemon. But in the bushes, a Pokemon watched them suspiciously…
…Then leaped out at them! It looked like a monkey with a flame for a tail. "A Chimchar?" Darkrai asked. But this specific Chimchar had a scar in the shape of an X on its forehead. "That's right bubs! And you're trespassing on Mr. Two's grounds! So you'll have to leave!" He screeched. "Not a chance." Darkrai responded. "Fine!" Chimchar said. Three more Pokemon emerged from the bushes. One looked like a salamander with a flame on its tail-tip, another sort of like a badger with flames spouting from its back, and another like a chick. "A Charmander, Cyndaquil and Torchic." Darkrai said. "Easy to beat." He launched himself at Chimchar. Pikachu charged at Cyndaquil, Leafeon at Charmander, and Marshtomp at Torchic.
Marshtomp fired a water gun at Torchic. The little chicken took the blast and winced. But that was all she did. Marshtomp realized that this Torchic was much stronger than she appeared. She ran at him and started pecking him all over. "Ow ow ow ow owww!" Marshtomp cried. He glared and fired a Mud Shot. Torchic jumped over the Mud Shot and fired an ember. Marshtomp took the ember without much pain. He ran at Torchic and fired a close range water gun. Torchic flew backward and hit a tree. She managed to get up. "You aren't going to beat me that easily!" She said. She charged and started slashing him with her sharp talons. Marshtomp grabbed Torchic by the legs while she was scratching him, and he threw her. She flew backwards and hit another tree. By now, she was really tired, but she still got up.
Leafeon fired some razor leafs at Charmander. Charmander ducked and fired an ember. Leafeon yelped in pain. Since he was a grass type, he was weak to Charmander's fire attacks. Charmander grinned. "You don't stand a chance!" He said. "I'm strong against you, so you'll burn to a crisp! Why don't you just give up?" Leafeon glared and said "Never." "Have it your way!" Charmander said, unleashing a fire spin. Leafeon cried out in pain. But despite the pain, he charged at Charmander with quick attack and tackled him. "All right, Leafeon!" Ash cheered. Charmander fired a Flamethrower, and Leafeon dodged. Leafeon fired a Bullet Seed, and Charmander burnt all the seeds with ember. Leafeon charged forward and hit Charmander with a Bite attack. Charmander yelped in pain and pulled himself free of the attack. Leafeon then tackled him with Quick attack. Then as a finisher, Leafeon used Iron Tail on Charmander. The flaming lizard slumped over, defeated.
Pikachu hit Cyndaquil with a Thunderbolt. Cyndaquil flinched and fired an ember in retaliation. Pikachu took the full force of the blow, then started to glow blue. "Time for Surf!" He said. He raised his arms, which formed a big blue orb. He threw it down, creating a wave. Cyndaquil jumped up a tree, and the wave passed underneath him! "Flamethrower!" He yelled, firing a blast of powerful flame at Pikachu. "Ah!" Pikachu yelled. He fired a Thunder, and Cyndaquil jumped into another tree. Cyndaquil fired another Flamethrower, and Pikachu ducked out of the way. He fired a Thunderbolt at Cyndaquil, who again jumped into another tree. Now Pikachu was mad. He growled and used Quick Attack, knocking Cyndaquil out of the tree before he had a chance to react. The second Cyndaquil hit the ground, Pikachu hit him with a surf. "AAAAH!" Cyndaquil yelled. He was dragged away by the current. When the current was gone, Cyndaquil lay on the ground unconscious. Pikachu sat down.
Marshtomp fired another water gun. Torchic dodged the blow and pecked at Marshtomp again, but Marshtomp dodged. He hit Torchic with a mud shot, and Torchic flew up into the sky. She fired a Flamethrower at Marshtomp, which hit. Marshtomp was getting worried, he was losing. Suddenly he got an idea. He jumped up into the sky and got really close to Torchic, then grabbed the chicken. He opened his mouth and fired a tremendously powerful Hydro Pump. Torchic fell to the ground and landed unconscious.
Darkrai tossed Shadow Balls at Chimchar, and the flaming monkey just kept ducking out of the way. It was in its element in the forests, so it had a slight advantage. Darkrai finally managed to hit the monkey. Chimchar fell out of the tree with a cry of surprise, and landed on the ground. The monkey instantly fired an ember at Darkrai, but Darkrai sunk into the shadows to hide. Then Chimchar used Flame Wheel, and just as Darkrai reemerged from the shadows, Chimchar rammed him. Darkrai yelled out in surprise and hit a tree. Chimchar laughed. "This is too easy!" He taunted. Darkrai glared and used Faint Attack. Chimchar fell over, then hit Darkrai with Shadow Claw. Darkrai let the attack, then hit the monkey with a close range Shadow Ball. Chimchar cried out in pain. "Maybe you aren't so weak after all." He said. "Same to you." Responded Darkrai. The two charged at each other, and Chimchar fired a close range Flamethrower, Darkrai a close range Shadow Ball. The attacks caused a small explosion that sent both Pokemon flying. Darkrai jumped towards Chimchar and used Faint Attack, but Chimchar dodged by using Flame Wheel to roll away. Then he rammed Darkrai with the flame wheel. Darkrai swung around and hit Chimchar with Spacial Rend! The attack was so powerful that Chimchar actually broke the tree he hit in half. Darkrai glared at the monkey. Chimchar got up and hit him with Flamethrower. Darkrai dodged and fired a Roar of Time! Chimchar yelled in pain and collapsed, finally defeated.
Ash and his Pokemon left the fire types behind and headed off towards the tower. "I'm surprised by how powerful that Chimchar was." Darkrai told Ash. "He nearly defeated me." "Wow. He must be pretty tough." Ash said. After they had gone, Chimchar slowly got up and took a look at his fallen comrades. Then, he hopped into the tree's and began following Ash and the Pokemon.
