Rise of the Champions

Sea Saga

Episode 14, Psycho!, Part 2

Chad, Thomas, and Vinny stood in the abandoned warehouse. After Kristen left to get medical help for Larry, Jerry, and Terry, he came. Curtis arrived on the scene.

"Hello, ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here to give you guys a message!"

"From who?" Chad asked.

"From none other than myself, of course,"

"Well, spit it out already!" Kelsey yelled.

"What a rude girl! This doesn't concern you, girl, so go play with your Barbie's or something, you little bitch!" It took the combined strength of Vinny, Derek, and Gary to hold her back.

"So, who's this message for, Chad?"

"Actually, for the little bastard, you, and the runt with the Bulbasaur," Curtis answered, wasting enough time. "Each of you come to the abandoned warehouse if you want to settle the score, once and for all,"

"How do we know this isn't a trap?" Chad asked.

"You don't," Curtis said. "I bid you adieu, my friends. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" With his loud and annoying laugh he magically disappeared into thin air, waiting to find out the heroes' plan of action.

"We can handle this guy easy," Vinny said, encouraging his friends back at the warehouse. "I mean, we know what we're up against now, and how can we lose to some guy with a wimpy ass name like Curtis?"

"But I want to go with you this time!" Gary protested. "Maybe with Kelsey, Derek, and my Pokemon battling along side with yours you'll stand a chance!"

"Look, I know you just want to help, but he challenged the three of us, and Kelsey will be with you so he doesn't get any ideas," Thomas explained.

"Wait, Thomas!" They heard Kristen call from afar. She finally came to a stop in front of him. "Take my Squirtle, it may be weaker than my other Pokemon, but my other Pokemon are at the PokeCenter in Burgundy!"

"Sorry, but I'm only going to use my Arcanine in this battle. Maybe Vinny could use it; after all, you know how strong he is. It'd be a perfect fit!"

"What does that mean?" Vinny asked angrily, "Are you saying I'm weak!"

"No, it's just that you're Pokemon all are bug and grass type, and you could use a little variety," Realizing this, Vinny received his new Pokemon, a level fifteen Squirtle.

"I hope the other's are all right…" Vinny droned, with a feeling in his gut.

"SCYTHER!" They heard four voices fly from the ceiling! The four Scyther dove in on their prey, ready to dice them into little cubes as their master commanded. Two of the trainers sent out four Pokeballs, while the other one sent out just one.

"Each trainer, handle one Scyther!" Chad ordered. His Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon each used the take down attack, ramming their Scyther recklessly, while doing a little damage themselves.

"Arcanine, fire blast!" Arcanine fired a roaring sea of flames at one Scyther while another one crept up behind the firedog. Arcanine saw this, however, and when the other Scyther dove in to use the slash attack, Arcanine jumped up and landed on Scyther. At that same instant, the fire blast landed right on Scyther's weak spot, making a critical hit, causing the damage to be doubled! The burnt Scyther fell to the ground, defeated.

"Squirtle, bubble attack!" The Scyther, realizing how weak his opponent was, took the blast from the tiny turtle water type. Squirtle fired all the bubble attacks he could muster, and Scyther took them all, unaffected. Butterfree flew up in the air and spread some sparkling blue pollen on Scyther. Realizing that this was the sleep powder attack, Scyther flew out of the way, but something was wrong. He was moving a lot slower than normal!

"Like the effect of Squirtle's bubble attack?" Vinny bragged. "Sometimes I couldn't sleep in class, so I learned two things about this battle. One, Scythers main ability is his speed, so if I remove that, they have a major handicap. Two, Squirtle's bubble attack is capable of lowering a Pokemon's speed," Heracross, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Butterfree all landed their tackle attacks on Scyther, who was barely damaged from the attack, but he kept taking hits from everyone! Heracross' horn attack, Butterfree's confusion, Bulbasaur's razor leaf, and Squirtle's water gun attack. Scyther collapsed, and at the exact same Chad's Scyther fell. Nine very mad Pokemon surrounded the last Scyther. Scyther raised his blade-arms in surrender, but the nine furious Pokemon each used their respective attacks, knocking out the green menace.

While victorious, they were not celebrating. Chad wondered where Curtis was, Thomas wondered where the other two Scythers were, and Vinny wondered if the others were all right.

"How do we know this isn't a trap?" Chad asked.

"You don't," Curtis said. The others! Vinny rushed out of the warehouse, while the others followed, without having a clue where he was going.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the rest of the gang!" Said Curtis, with a Scyther at each side. "My name is Curtis, and going to be the man responsible for putting your name in the obituaries,"

"So where are your other Pokemon, Curtis?" Kristen asked.

"They'd be killing the rest of your friends right now," He said tilting his head yet again. "I don't need them to defeat the rest of you, because a three on four is pretty fair odds, don't you think?"

"But you only have two Pokemon," Gary corrected.

"When did I ever say I never was a Pokemon?"

"WHAT?" Kelsey yelled in shock. "But you talk!"

"So can Bulbasaur," Derek answered, with a slightly grave tone in his voice.

Curtis tore up his clothes, and his skin to reveal none other than the steel/bug type Scizor, the evolved form of Scyther! "How do you like my look?" He said in an even more exciting tone than usual. "I hope you like it, because it will be the last thing you ever see!" With his victory speech said, he and his two Scythers charged at our gang.

"Cyndaquil, Beautifly, Mareep, go!"

"Torchic, Mudkip, Treecko, Spearow, go!"

"Pidgey, Pikachu, Corphish, go!" The ten on three battle began! Cyndaquil and Torchic hurled flames at "Curtis", but they were easily avoided. Pikachu fired a bolt of electricity at a Scyther, and managed to knock him down. Scyther stood up, brushed himself off, and slashed at Pikachu. The electric mouse narrowly avoided it and Pidgey shot out a gust attack on the same Scyther.

The other Scyther was trying not to fall victim to Beautifly's sleep powder barrages. It flew circles around Beautifly, but Beautifly flapped her wings and hurled the gust attack at Scyther, knocking him in his weak point. Spearow then pecked at Scyther with his beak.

"You don't stand a chance against me, kiddos!" Scizor/Curtis screamed as he was easily dodging Torchic's, Cyndaquil's, Treecko's, Mudkip's, Corphish's, and Mareep's attacks. He struck each of them with his slash attack, fainting them all with one hit! Soon after that, the worn out Scythers took out their foes as well.

"All defenseless I see!" Scizor/Curtis yelled as he flew at Kelsey and Derek, ready to snip their little heads off. He then felt something heavy land on him! It was Heracross, not letting him touch any of his new friends. Scizor/Curtis tried to struggle free form Heracross, but was in too much of an uncomfortable position to perform such an act. Arcanine stepped up in front of him, eyes filled with hatred. He opened his mouth slowly, wanting to make this as dramatic as possible. Scizor/Curtis closed his eyes shut, bracing for the pain that was coming.

"NOOOOO!" He screamed, as he suddenly broke free of the big bug's grasp. He picked up his knife, and stabbed himself in the chest. Blood gushed everywhere.

"If I'm going to die, I'm gonna do it my sel…" He fell short of his sentence. He lay lifeless, in a pool of blood. The two other Scyther, realizing their defeat, used this time to fly away to tell The Commander.

Is this the way a trainer's life supposed to be, death and blood all around you? The young trainers thought as they looked at their prize for winning the battle.

"He had it coming," Chad said, apparently reading the others' thoughts. "The man was mentally insane, and a blood thirsty killer,"

"Why did he kill himself when he broke free of Heracross?" Vinny asked. "He could have fought back and probably win,"

"Like I said before, he was insane. It was a natural impulse for him," Chad explained.

"Back at the Burgundy Town PokeCenter, the heroes fully healed their Pokemon and got ready to say their goodbyes to Thomas and Kristen. Larry, Jerry, and Terry were still in the hospital, so they were waiting for them.

"Thomas," Chad called over Thomas.

"Yeah?"

"Next time we meet, I'll look forward towards to our battle," Chad said, extending out his hand. Thomas shook it.

"Me too," Thomas replied. And with that message delivered, Vinny, Chad, Kelsey, Derek, and Gary left the town that gave them their greatest challenge yet. Next stop, Aquis City!

"So, Curtis failed?" The Commander asked in a large television screen in a shady voice. The room was barely lit so the two Scyther could only see their leader's shape of his head. "And you two ran away?"

The Scyther hesitated but then nodded. They knew better than to lie to The Commander. The Commander then snapped his fingers and behind the two Scyther, a Nidoking and Nidoqueen appeared! The two poison/ground types literally crushed Scyther's head but the other one escaped.

"Well, it looks as if I've underestimated those damn fools," The Commander said excitedly. "Maybe I'll give the brats some time before I send… him!" With that said, the television screen clicked off, leaving the entire room dark.
