Chapter 12: TM Troubles
Hola amigos! We're going back to Bronze and the boys in this chapter. Let's see how TM training is going.
"Come on! Use Ice Punch!" Bronze yelled. BIGJAW had been trying to use the physical ice-type move but just couldn't get the move cold enough. He was all punch and no ice. However, BIGJAW has been getting stronger. His punches had a lot more power now and he's been learning how to block and what punches to use. He's even gotten a little better at dodging. The croc was a fast learner, it just wasn't learning Ice Punch fast enough.
"Take five." Bronze said. BIGJAW sat down on the cold floor and took a moment to catch his breath. Bronze took off his gloves and sighed. He then used the sleeve of his hoodie to wipe his sweat before it could freeze.
"Darn, why isn't this working?" Bronze said to himself in frustration. He took off his hat and started to walk around in circles, trying to think about what he's doing wrong. He just had no clue. They were in a freezing gym and doing multiple boxing exercises. BIGJAW even heard the appropriate TM. What was he doing wrong?
Bronze decided to consult Zen Master Fortune Cookie Man about his current predicament. "Night Wing." Bronze said. The dragon walked towards Bronze and crossed his arms, waiting for the cowboy to continue. "I need to talk to the master so can you do me a big favor and help BIGJAW with his boxing?" Bronze asked. Night Wing grunted in annoyance at this request. "Por favor? You're strong and you have experience in elemental punches. I think you'd be perfect for being a sort of mentor for him." Bronze said. Night Wing exhaled sulfur from his nose to show he wasn't buying anything that Bronze was saying.
The young vaquero sighed and said, "You get to boss BIGJAW around and show him what he's doing wrong in the most jerkish way possible." Night Wings head shot up with interest. He gave his trainer the thumbs up and let it s loud sound to BIGJAW as he walked towards him. "Who could this possibly go wrong?" Bronze said, sarcastically.
He pushed those thoughts aside and went to search for GM Yoshi. Bronze walked around the freezing gym, in search of the old man. After a bit of looking, he saw Yoshi was meditating with his Lucario. They seemed really at peace, not even noticing anything around them. Bronze was reluctant in wanting to knock them out of the trance. This wasn't because he would of been rude but because he thought Yoshi would do a quadruple ninja summersault and break the spine of a Steelix or something.
"Senor?" Bronze said. GMY wasn't responding. Bronze scratched the stubble on his face. There was only one way to wake him up. Bronze grew a pair and walked towards him. He took a deep breath and went to tap his shoulder. However, his hand was quickly caught by the old masters wrinkly hand.
"Never sneak up on someone during meditation. It can damage their aura." he said to Bronze, sternly. The cowboy then pried his hand off the master's.
"Sorry but, while I have your attention. I need to ask you something." Bronze said. GMY nodded to Bronze, signaling that he's listening. "BIGJAW hasn't been showing signs of Ice in his Ice Punch. He'll make a little but of ice but not a full blown, freezing punch." Bronze said.
"If he's already making ice then he should be on the right track. How long have you two been training?" Yoshi said.
"He started making ice a while ago but hasn't improved since then. I'm not sure if it takes awhile or not." Bronze said.
"If your Croconaw is already making ice then it means he's a fast learner. By how quickly he was creating ice, he should of learned how to perform the move by now." Yoshi said. "Does he know why moves that have to do with heat?" the old master asked the cowboy.
"He knows Scald." Bronze said.
"Of course…" Yoshi said. "You should of informed me earlier." Yoshi said annoyed. "He's going to have to learn Waterfall but judging by how fast your Croconaw is at picking up moves, this shouldn't take too long. On top of that, he's a water type so the learning process will be dramatically faster."
"Alright then, I'll go get him." Bronze said as he ran off.
Bronze went to look for Night Wing and BIGJAW. He was really hoping they didn't kill each other yet. Bronze closed in on the two but saw something quite peculiar. Night Wing was legit coaching him.
BIGJAW threw a punch and hit the bag. Night Wing grunted at the croc and shook his head. He then stood BIGJAW in front of the bag and took stance. The croc followed and took the same stance. He then took a deep breath and his fist crackled with electricity. He then punched the bag and a flash of light was emitted on impact. The bag was locked back and started to make the metal supports a rattle. BIGJAW the took a deep breath and tried to make his fists freeze, he only seemed to get some thin ice to form. He then punched the bag, making it move but not as much as Bronze or Night Wing do. He had a little more ice firm on the bag.
Night Wing looked at it weird but gave him an approving grunt. BIGJAW had a look of confusion on his face as the dragon actually gave him game equitably of a 'good job'.
"I never thought I'd see the day." Bronze said. BIGJAW and Night Wing then turned their heads as they saw their trainer walk to them. "Hey, BIGJAW. We need to tragic you a new move." Bronze said. BIGJAW gave him a look of confusion. "Apparently Scald is making it impossible to learn Ice Punch, so you're going to learn Waterfall." Bronze said. BIGJAW understood Bronze and hissed at him to show reply. "Vamanos." Bronze said. BIGJAW then followed his trainer.
Night Wing looked at the pair and growled and then punched the bag with one fist.
One HM playing montage later
"Ok, using this move is like tackling, expect you have water around you and hit much harder." Yoshi said.
"Alright then, how are we gonna do that then?" Bronze asked. Yoshi just smiled at him and motioned to the pair of Johtonians to follow him.
A bit of setting up later…
Bronze and BIGJAW looked at what Yoshi had set up. He set up a whole tackling course on a field. There were tackling dummies that BIGJAW had to knock down in order to get through. "This course is going to teach you how to tackle and will build up strength in the process." Yoshi said. He then tossed BIGJAW a red ball and said, "Get ready."
"Alright, you can do this." Bronze said to BIGJAW. "Just knock down the dummies and we'll be able to unlock your move." Bronze said. BIGJAW nodded and hissed happily at his trainer.
"Go!" Yoshi said. BIGJAW jumped at the sudden command and started running. "You have to keep running!" Yoshi exclaimed.
BIGJAW started running and saw his first tackling dummy. The croc then tried to run through it but ended up getting knocked back, dropping his ball. The croc shook its head and looked with confusion and anger at the dummy. "Come on, BIGJAW. You gotta try to knock it down!" Bronze said.
BIGJAW got up and picked up the ball. He then lunged at the dummy and knocked it down. BIGJAW got up again and continued to run with the ball in his hands. Bronze then said to the croc, "Lunge to the left!" BIGJAW then stopped and lunged at the dummy, knocking it down. However, he did a sort of Mario wall jump off the dummy and landed on the ground. He then continued onward.
"Way to go!" Bronze praised. BIGJAW looked at his trainer while running and smiled. Unfortunately, he hit a dummy. BIGJAW then lunged at the dummy but it didn't get knocked down. BIGJAW just bounced off it and landed on his prehistoric-looking posterior. BIGJAW hissed at the dummy and tried to tackle it again but to no avail.
BIGJAW scratched his head as he tried to think of a way to knocking down. The croc then had a Jimmy Neutron moment. The croc but down on the legs of the dummy and heard a ghosty Yelp of pain. A Haunter made itself visible and and rubbed one of its amputated hands. The Haunter blew a raspberry in the crocs face and disappeared into thin air.
The croc blinked twice after just experiencing its WTF moment. BIGJAW just picked up the red ball and continued onward.
"Hey, he's doing pretty good." Bronze said. He was proud of his Croconaw for doing all this for the sake of improvement.
"Don't get too comfortable." Yoshi said. "He still has a ways to go."
The croc was running to the end of field when he saw his final obstacles. There were a Machoke, Hitmonlee, and a Hitmonchan in heavy padding waiting for BIGJAW at the end of the field. The croc stopped in his tracks and had a naw dropped moment. THIS is was he was going to Ubers to get through.
"Shoot, I hope he has the juice to get through them." Bronze said to himself. "BIGJAW, use what I told you!" Bronze said. BIGJAW heard this and knew right away what Bronze meant. The croc then put the ball in his mouth and ran up to the Hitmonchan. He took boxing position and started the opposing Pokemon right in the eye. The croc then jabbed and threw a lunch with his right at the othe rlokemons leg. The Hitmonchan looked confused as BIGJAW tried to punch and lunch but with no avail. The Hitmonchan then just punched the Croconaw and knocked it back a few feet.
The croc coughed up the ball on impact. He rubbed the tip of snout since he was punched there.
"Darn!" Bronze said in agitation.
"If you can't win with strength then find another way." Yoshi said.
Bronze thought to himself about this. How else was be going to get BIGJAW to knock them down. Maybe the legs, yeah BIGJAW's chompers could do a lot of damage when he's trying. Those teeth are like fish hooks, they ain't coming loose without a fight. BIGJAW was also pretty fast so he could use that too. "BIGJAW, lunge to the left!" Bronze said.
The croc heard the command and did as he was told. After he made the left lunge, Bronze told him to do a right lunge which he did. Bronze continued to alternate between the two. BIGJAW was on all fours with the ball on his lit has he lunged. His claws dug into the ground below each time landed.
The three fighting type Pokemon were looking around trying to find a way to stop the croc. The Machoke saw the croc take aim at him and he tensed up and was ready to catch. BIGJAW lunged forward, heading right towards the muscle bound humanoid. It reached its arms out to snatch the croc but it then lunged to the left. The Machoke was dumbfounded by this since he moved so fast. BIGJAW then opened it's massive jaws and dug into the Machoke's leg. It screamed in pain as the croc bit down. BIGJAW then used all his strength to life the muscular pokemon and threw it.
"Machoke is out." Yoshi said. Bronze felt a smile grow on his face at the old master's words.
The Hitmonchan was shocked at this turn of events but that didn't stop it from charging at the croc. BIGJAW ran to the Hitmonchan and lunged towards it. He then threw a punch as the Hitmonchan threw one. Their punches collided and forced each other back. BIGJAW felt stinging in its whole arm after the impact. It shook its arm to try and make the pain go away. The croc then moved out of the way as it saw Hitmonchan's boxing glove, hand thing. The croc bit the fighting type pokemons thin arm. It yelped in pain at BIGJAW's sharp teeth and bite force. The croc then flipped over, wrestling style, making the Hitmonchan flip with him. They both hit the ground.
"Hitmonchan is out!" Yoshi said.
"Alright, come on, BIGJAW. Just a little more." Bronze said.
The croc then saw the Hitmonlee, who looked like it was just itching for a fight.. BIGJAW lunged forward and then lunged right but the Hitmonlee pulled off a hard read and kicked BIGJAW right in the snout. BIGJAW stumbled back and held his snout. The Hitmonlee then kneed BIGJAW in the face. Causing him to fall on his back and cough up the ball.
"You got this!" Bronze yelled, trying to encourage his starter pokemon to move forward. BIGJAW got up and shook his head. He glared at the Hitmonlee and ran for him. BIGJAW lunged faster side to side to throw off the Hitmonlee. The fighting type pokemon took time to focus though.
BIGJAW then lunged forward at the Hitmonlee. The opposing pokemon then raised it's leg and slammed downwards. BIGJAW saw this and in a split second lunged through an opening between his legs but it looked much more powerful. BIGJAW stopped itself and turned around. He then gave the Hitmonlee an uppercut. BIGJAW then finished off the Hitmonlee by lunging towards it with a lot of force. BIGJAW hit the Hitmonlee's stomach, knocking the wind out of the final fighting type. The Hitmonlee fainted immediately when it hit the ground.
"Hitmonlee is out!" Yoshi yelled.
Bronze cheered for his bud as he grabbed the ball and ran to the end of the field. BIGJAW then threw it into the ground and jumped for joy.
Bronze ran to BIGJAW and gave him a pat on the back. "Woo! You were awesome out there!" Bronze said, estattic about BIGJAW's victory. BIGJAW happily hissed at his trainer.
"Well done. You're really picking up this move fast." Yoshi said. He was right through. BIGJAW's lunges were faster and hit way harder than before. He was also wet from the little bit of the early stages of Waterfall.
"Man, you really are a fast learner, aren't ya?" Bronze said as he scratched under BIGJAW's chin. The croc nearly melted under Bronze's scratches.
"We must hurry." Yoshi said. "Your Croconaw should be able to use Waterfall after this last exercise." Yoshi said.
A little while later
The guys were now at a waterfall that was nearby the gym. It had a river right under where the water of the waterfall crashed down. The water looked clear as glass and was almost glaring under the Alolan sun. The waterfall sound powerful as the water collided with the still water bellow.
"Bronze, your Croconaw will be able to make it up there if it uses Waterfall." Yoshi said.
"But BIGJAW is still learning it." Bronze said. Even though BIGJAW was a good swimmer, the waterfall looked too powerful for the croc to scale. BIGJAW may end up getting hurt in the process.
"The best way to learn a move quickly is taking it head on." Yoshi said. "His natural instincts will kick in and let him fully utilize the move." Yoshi said.
"Alright, if you're sure about this." Bronze said in a reluctant tone. "BIGJAW, you ready?" Bronze asked. BIGJAW answered with a hiss and looked pumped. BIGJAW then jumped into the water. He swam a normal crocodile or alligator with its back facing the sky while sticking out of the water and its underside in the water. BIGJAW's head was above the water while his jaw were under it. Water rippled around him as he swam quickly towards the roaring waterfall.
BIGJAW saw the waterfall crashing down at a extremely fast pace. BIGJAW just let out his war cry as he jumped up. BIGJAW was utilizing all his muscles, trying to swim up, but to no avail. The croc was swimming in place and wasn't moving. His muscles were burning under the cool water and making him start flowing backwards little by little but this croc wasn't one to give up without a fight.
Bronze looked worried as he saw his buddy in the waterfall. He knew BIGJAW was tough but this seemed a little too much for the croc.
BIGJAW tried his hardest to swim up. He knew he wasn't making any progress by that only ha whim more motivation to go hard. BIGJAW starting pushing his body to its limits as he started moving a forward a little. BIGJAW's whole body fromt he neck down was in excruciating pain but he lowered through it.
Bronze was surprised as he saw BIGJAW was actually swimming up the waterfall. Bronze eyes went wide as he saw that a log was heading right for him. Bronze then yelled, "BIGJAW, look out!"
The croc then looked to see the big piece of wood was heading right for him. Then tried to lunge left but the strength of the falling made it impossible for the croc to move to the side. BIGJAW saw it was getting closer. The log fell fast and was at BIGJAW snout when the croc bursted to the right. BIGJAW dosed the log but didn't even take note of it as he then used this burst to swim up the waterfall.
Bronze sighed in relief but then realized something. "He's using Waterfall." Bronze said.
"I told you, young Tauros. His natural instincts would kick in." Yoshi said.
BIGJAW kept swimming up at a dramatic pace as he scaled the waterfall in not time at all. The croc finally reached the top and jumped on top of a rock. He then let out his war cry to show he conquered the quest to learn the move from the H20 HM.
"Woo! You the man, buddy!" Brozne cheered. BIGJAW then jumped for joy but needed up jumping for a little too much joy as he jumped off the rock. And this is when he knew, he fucked up. The croc then let out his gecko like scream as he fell down. He hit the water hard, the water around hunk rippled as he sank in. Bronze then ran to the water to grab his buddy but stopped. Be saw a burst of water shoot from the still water below and out came BIGJAW. He then fell but aimed for Bronze as a landing pad.
Bronze ran and said, "I got ya, I got ya!" The cowboy then caught his scaley friend in his arms. Bronze saw BIGJAW was really tuckered out. He tried to move so he could walk but it hurt to move. "Hey, hey. I got ya, buddy." Bronze said. "That's enough for now."
"Congratulations, you learned Waterfall." Yoshi said. He then said, "This is some of the fastest move learning I've ever witnessed." Yoshi's said to Bronze. "It's no everyday a Pokemon can learn a move this quickly. You two have something extremely special." Yoshi said.
"Yes. I can feel it." Yoshi. "The powerful bond you two share. Not even the Tapu could separate you without a fight."
Bronze felt something. It was a sort of happiness. He felt blessed he was given such a great friend. Bronze looked down at BIGJAW and smiled. BIGJAW fell asleep in Bronze's arms. "I have your back, buddy." Bronze said.
A walk back later
Bronze was back in the freezing gym. He had put BIGJAW to rest on the sleeping mat in his room. The cowboy then looked for his Charizard. He felt bad he was kinda neglecting him since he's been dedication so much time into helping BIGJAW transition into a brawler.
Bronze kept his eyes peeled for the black and red dragon. Bronze then saw his fire type Pokemon was sitting in a chair, resting. "Hey, man." Bronze said. Night Wing didn't look at Bronze though. He seemed kinda mad. Bronze had an idea of why the faux dragon was angry. "Hey, I'm sorry about not paying attention to you. I've just been so busy with BIGJAW." Bronze said. He tried to rubbed Night Wing's cheek but the dragon just turned his head to avoid contact with Bronze hand.
Bronze felt his heart sink. Night Wing wasn't just angry, he was sad. Bronze didn't know what to do. Bronze normally just yelled at him since the faux dragon was normally just mad about BIGJAW. But now, he was just sad and angry. Bronze then took his hat off. He wakes closer to the dragon and opened his arms. He wrapped his arms around the shiny Pokemon and said, "I'm sorry."
Night Wing whimpered a bit. He couldn't stay mad at his trainer. He knew that Bronze did really care for him. He kept letting jealousy blind him. "You're right to be mad at me." Bronze said. Night Wing was shit right in the heart. This really was someone who cared for him. Even though two butted heads a lot, they still loved each other.
Night Wing nuzzled against Bronze. The cowboy chuckled as he saw the big, men's looking dragon show affection to him. "Alright, you ready to train?" Bronze said with enthusiasm. Night Wing's head shot up. He nodded his head and gave Bronze a toothy grin.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Bronze said as he got up. He then thought of what to do with Night Wing. The dragon was already a super strong Charizard so why could be done to train him. "Let's work on maneuverability." Bronze said. Night Wing grunted to Bronze and got ready.
Bronze walked to the other side of the gym and got out his lasso. "Alright, you have to be able to dodge my lasso. If you can do that, then you could dodge anything." Bronze said. He wasn't trying to brag. He's gotten pretty good at catching fast moving things with his lasso. Night Wing snorted and tried to fly in the air. However, his wings felt really stiff as he tried to fly. He only got a few flaps in before he fell to the floor.
Bronze ran to his dragon to help it up but Night Wing stuck his hand in front of Bronze in the stopping position. He then picked himself up and snorted as he flapped his wings while still grounded. "Why can't you fly?" Bronze said. Night Wing shrugged, he didn't even know this because he's been too busy taking his anger out on the bag. Bronze then took a good look at his dragon and noticed his tail. The flame on the tip of his tail was significantly smaller than it normally is. "What's wrong with your tail?" Bronze asked in concern.
The dragon shook his head to show nothing was wrong. Bronze then scratched his head in wonder. Was he sick and just trying to be tough, was some water spilled on it, did he lend some to help Gladion with his fire mixtape? While Bronze's hears were turning, Rotom Dex popped up out of nowhere.
"Intrezzting factoid! Fire type Pokemon try to channel the fire in their bodiezzzzz to keep a healthy temperature in cold environmentzzzzz." Rotom Dex said. "That'zzz probably why Night Wing izz keeping the flame in hizzz tail zzmall."
"That… actually makes sense." Bronze said. He then turned to his faux dragon and asked, "Is that what you're doing?" Night Wing nodded to his trainer. "At least it's nothing serious." Bronze said. He then thought he could use this to his advantage. If he could get Night Wing to fly fast in this cold gym then he could probably fly really damn fast in a normal temperature. This is like some Dragonball Z training shit.
"Alright, we can work with this. How about you just try to dodge on the ground." Bronze said as he got ready to wind up his lasso. Night Wing snorted and gave off his 'I'm ready' face. Bronze then let go of some of his lasso. Night Wing tried to dodged it but he ended up getting one of his arms caught. Night Wing tried to pull his arm back but ended up hitting the floor. The faux dragon didn't hold his ground so he wouldn't hurt his trainer but he forgot one thing. That Bronze was actually pretty fucking strong.
"Alright, let's try it again." Bronze said as he loosened the lasso and to let Night Wing go. The dragon then got up and snarled. "Tres, dos… Uno!" Bronze said as he let his lasso loose again. Night Wing lunged to the left but got his foot caught by the lasso. "Come on, you gotta be faster than that." Bronze said as he loosened the lasso. Night Wing was getting more and more angry at his failing. But that was just fueling him to try more.
Some time later…
Night Wing charged at Bronze. His feet making loud sounds as they hit the hardwood floor. Bronze threw his but the dragon jumped out of the way. Bronze retracts his rope and tried again. Night Wing then jumped and used his wings to let himself hover a bit. He had warmed up a bit so he could somewhat fly but not for very long. The dragon landed with a thud as he kept running. Bronze threw it again but the dragon shifted to the right and caught the lasso. He then ran forward and tried to tackle Bronze but he moved out of the way. The the stopped itself from taking a tumble but felt the lasso he caught be wrapped around his. Bronze ran around in circles to wrap his lasso around Night Wing.
The faux dragon was then restricted of movement. He struggled but couldn't quite wiggle free. Bronze the stopped running and pulled on the lasso, making the faux dragon fall on his face. "You're getting faster but you gotta be quailed than that." Bronze said as he began to release Night Wing do his bindings. "Let's take a break." Bronze said as he petted his dragon. Bronze the E allied away as he was getting his lasso back in order. Night Wing then had one of those moments where steam emits from your nose and ears.
Night Wing roared and jumped. He flapped his wings and flew to Bronze with blooming speeds. Bronze turned around to see Night Wig coming straight at him. Before Bronze could react, Night Wing had tackled him. The two rolled into a ball and hit the floor. Bronzes back hit the floor and so did his hat. Night Wing was on top and growling at his trainer, shaking that he did not want to 'take a break.'
"Night Wing, you flew!" Bronze exclaimed. Night Wing the stopped growling and remained he actually did fly. "That's as awesome man. Do it again!" Bronze said.
Night Wing then got up and turned around. Bronze picked himself back up and picked up his hat. Night Wing turned his head to look at Bronze and nodded. Bronze nodded back and gave him the thumbs up. Night Wing roared and then started flying around the gym. The dragon flapped his wings and flew all around the room, roaring in victory. "I knew you could do it!" Bronze said.
Bronze then took out his lasso and aimed it at Night Wing. He let go of it and tried to bring down the faux dragon. Night Wing saw this and in a split second he flew out of the way. Night Wing then began to flap his wings in place so he could stay still in the air. Bronze pulled back his lasso and said, "Alright, uno mass." He tossed his lasso at the dragon. The dragon flew up and dodged it. Bronze pulled back his Tauros tool threw his lasso again. Night Wing then flew forward and spiraled. He then caught the lasso and flew to the right. He then wrapped the lasso around Bronze once. The dragon then quickly flew around Bronze, wrapping more of the lasso around his trainer like Bronze did to him. The dragon then topped in his tracks as e landed. The dragon then looked at his trainer and smirked. Bronze rolled his eyes at this. The dragon then tugged on the rope and made Bronze fall flat on his face. "Well played." Bronze said. "Can you let me go, now?" Bronze asked. Night Wing then proceeded to unwrap Bronze from his own weapon.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Bronze said as he hugged his dragon. The dragon hugged back his trainer. Bronze felt the warmth radiating off his body as he embraced his faux dragon.
Now onto something else. BIGJAW opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. BIGJAW tried to sit up but felt pain as he did. He was still a bit sore from the training from earlier. He took a breath and lowered his head. The croc then looked up and took a look at his surroundings. He could feel cold around him so he thought that he was back at the freezer gym.
BIGJAW got up from the mat, his legs hurt a little from the soreness. The croc then made his way out of the room and walked to the main training area. BIGJAW then looked for his trainer only to see him with Night Wing. the two looked like they were conversing with one another.
The croc made a annoyed hiss at the two. Bronze turned around, his face lit uk when he saw the croc was ok. Bronze ran up to the croc and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're okay!" Bronze said with enthusiasm in his voice. BIGJAW felt a burst of joy and hugged his trainer back. BIGJAW then looked up to see Night Wing, staring. He wasn't mad though, just staring. Bronze then put his croc down and said, "I'm glad you're up because I have an idea." Bronze said. Night Wing and BIGJAW then looked at each other with the same 'oh shit' expressions.
"Alright, my idea is this. Y'all are going to box but only with elemental punches." Bronze said. BIGJAW looked a little worried at his idea. Night Wing just cracked his knuckles with a bit of electricity emitting from them. "Get ready to square up, guys." Bronze said.
BIGJAW looked a little worried about this. While he acted tough and brave when it came to Night Wing, he was scared to fight him. BIGJAW has fought Night Wing before and he's lost every time and only got away because of a Bronze ex Machina moment.
Night Wing looked to the croc and saw that he was scared. Night Wing recognized this fear though. The first time he saw the totem Salazzle and her harem of Salandits he was terrified. He was just a little Charmander back then. Night Wing may of hated BIGJAW but he did sympathize with him. Night Wing then put his hand on BIGJAW's shoulder. The croc then looked up in shock and fear at the dragon, in fear he wanted to get started early. The dragon, however, didn't do anything. BIGJAW was confused, he couldn't comprehend that all Night Wing was doing was actually trying to comfort him.
Night Wing took his hand off BIGJAW's shoulder and walked to the other side of the gym. He faced the croc and gave him a nod as he took stance. BIGJAW nodded too and took stance but was shaking. "You guys ready?" Bronze asked. The two gave Bronze a nod. "Let the match begin." Bronze said.
The two walked forward and got into punching distance. Night Wing's fist crackled with electricity as he threw a punch. BIGJAW dodged the attack and stumbled back. Night Wing just stood there and waited for BIGJAW to attack. He nodded to the croc. BIGJAW then got into stance and ran up to the dragon. He threw a punch but the dragon blocked it. BIGJAW then quickly circled around the dragon and punched but he caught it. Night Wing then flipped BIGJAW over. The croc hit the floor hard. He quickly got up and faced the dragon. Night Wing threw another electric lunch but the croc dodged it. He then ran up to the dragon ands started to punch the dragon in the gut. However, no matter how fast his punches were, they seemed not to affect the dragon. On the upside, he felt his hands getting noticeably colder.
Night Wing then licks out the croc and slammed him into the ground. The croc was dazed but regained his sight fast enough to dodged a punch that was aimed right towards him. Night Wing broke die of the boards on the floor. He brought his fist back in and turned around to see BIGJAW behind him. Night Wig tried to do a backhand spin on the croc but BIGJAW used Waterfall to quickly maneuver to the right, our fingers way. BIGJAW was wet as he halted at the dragon, the water droplets on his scales started to freeze form the cold temperature.
"BIGJAW, keep using that move like you just did!" Bronze said. He obviously noticed how he could replace his water gun jumping technique with his new Waterfall lunging technique. Though, he wanted to call it something else. He could really incorporate into BIGJAW's fighting style and could make it very effective.
Rotom Dex started recording the event. He caugtbcerysecidn of BIGJAW rapidly using Waterfall to dodge and disorient Night Wing. "Rotom, label this video as River Run." Bronze said.
"You got it Zzzheriff!" Rotom Dex said in his normal chipper attitude. Bronze then looked at his pokedex with a 'what the fuck' look on his face. "What? It'zzzz catchy!"
BIGJAW kept laying out lunch after lunch on Night Wing. What he lacked in he made up for in relentlessness. Night Wing started wildly swinging Thunder Punches in anger and confusion.
BIGJAW was feeling colder and colder the more he used Waterfall. This is what he wanted though. He needed to feel the cold in order to actually she Ice Punch. BIGJAW, in the split second he caught, saw an opening. The croc the used Waterfall to lunge full force at Night Wing. The water that formed around him, because of Waterfall, started to freeze. BIGJAW let out his Wat cry as he readied his punch.
The croc's fist was then surrounded with ice and he punched Night Wing on the side of his face. Night Wing stumbled back and held the pet of his face that was now freezing cold.
BIGJAW jumped and cheered in triumph. He learned Ice Punch and even gave Night Wing a elemental taste of his own medicine. His duck typing made Ice type moves feel neutral after all.
Bronze had a smile on his face as he saw his croc learned the move he's been baiting his ass trying to learn. "You did it!" Bronze said. BIGJAW then looked it his trainer with an expression of happiness. He would have jumped into his trainer's arms if he wasn't rudely interrupted.
Night Had just evolved form the move and lunches BIGJAW right in the gut with an electric punch. The croc then got knocked back and hit the wall of the gym.
"Really? You couldn't let him just have this?" Bronze said, unamused. Night Wing just gave the cowboy a smirk and shrugged.
One healing process later…
Bronze had his hands out for a hive five which both his Pokemon partook in. "I'm really proud of y'all, today." Bronze said. "You worked really hard and now we can build off of this to perfect and ultras these moves to their fullest potential." Bronze said. BIGJAW and Night Wing both had happy expressions towards their trained.
"Alright, let's work on those punches with the punching pads." Bronze said as he went to search for those gloves he used as a moving target.
"Unfortunately, you cannot continue training today." Yoshi said.
"Porque, senor?" Bronze asked in a tone that was confused and annoyed.
"It is very late and you all have worked hard today. You must let your bodies rest." Yoshi said.
"Shoot…" Bronze said. The trio was so focused in training that they didn't realize the sun went down. "Well, I guess we really got to stop for today, guys." Bronze said. He wasn't thrilled about this but rest was needed.
The three then got ready for bed. Night Wig actually slept close to everyone this time. BIGJAW was on the side he was in before and so was Bronze.
Bronze then looked it his side and saw his Pokemon were fast asleep. He smiled and said in a low tone, "Buenas noches."
Well, here ya go. Not sure whining eel about this chapter. I find writing these to be a little boring for the reader but whatever. This chapter is short and rushed but I didn't want to drag on the train too much. I also wanted to get it next chapter as quickly as possible because I'm excited about some of the ideas I have in store for the next chapter.
Anywho… I don't know what else to say. I hope y'all are having a great summer I guess. So here's mo general question: what's the best ship: BIGJAW x Night Wing, Bronze x Gladion, Lillie x new boots, Hau x Malasada, and finally Luna x Lillie XD (I'll go jump in a ditch now…)
That's all for now, I'll see ya next turn, adios.
Review Response:
Little Miss Firebright:
When I have ideas that I can write about right then and there then I can actually write fast. Oh by the way #LillieMasterRace and #GetInTheBag
Yeah, White Fang and Kuna are well behaved. White Fang is just young but will listen to Luna. Bruho's just a bit of a hardass.
Oh jeez, I didn't mean to spook you with the Lillie v. Machoke Man thing. (Though that would make for a pretty good boxing match XD). Night Wing's opinion on Lillie depends if he's a wing man of not.
No worries about the whole stereotype thing. I don't think that at least. If you really want those boots Lillie is currently rocking then I could give you a link to where I found them. Lol
Oh dear lord. You think I'm better than someone… I don't know how to comprehend this. Well, I'm glad I'm breaking the mold of Character tropes at least!
Sorry there's no Ice Lunch. I know how much it meant to you. XD Adios.
