"Come on neow, y'all rascals gotta have more giddy up than that!" Clay burst out before
spitting out a large glob of the black substance he was chewing on
"For the love of f^ck, will you shut the bloody hell up?!" Iian burst out in response
"Hay now, just saying that y'all rugrats need to step up yer game, don't waste my time neow" Clay responded
"Just shut up!" Raian yelled out "Come on Lilligant, use Magical leaf!"
"Tympole use bubblebeam!" Iian yelled out
"Sandslash, Krokorok, both of yous use Bulldoze!" Clay yelled out in response
The two ground pokemon began to charge full force at Lilligant and Tympole. Lilligant shook and shot forth several glowing leaves while Tympole spat out a large beam of bubbles, both streams hitting their targets dead on. Despite the direct hits both enemies continued to charge and struck the two with full force.
"No, don't take that sh!t!" Iian yelled out "Tympole use uproar!"
As Krokorok struck the tadpole it suddenly began shaking violently before it let out an
enormous screech. Everyone quickly held their ears as the tadpole roared with a deafening tone violently thrashing about inches from Krokorok.
"What in tarnations is that racket?!" Clay yelled as he covered his ears
"Don't let the wanker get away, use bubble!" Iian yelled out
As Krokorok winched in pain at the uproar Tympole spat out several bubbles, all striking the
Lizard
"Help out!" Raian yelled, "Use magical leaf again!"
Lilligant quickly spun around and shot forth leaves at Krokorok
"No, stop the little lady!" Clay yelled out "Crush Claw!"
Sandslash quickly leapt forth and slammed its claw into Lilligant, the attack sending the grass type tumbling across the floor. Despite its effort, Sandslash was too late, the leaves struck Krokorok and took it to the ground hard.
"Krokorok is unable to battle!" The ref yelled out
"Yeah!" Raian jumped up in excitement
"Way to go!" Iian yelled out as he looked at tympole who stood tall and proud.
After a moment Tympole began to glow, everyone looked with amazement as the pokemon began to morph
"No way..." Josue said
"Gothita Goth" Gothita added on
"Well I'll be a son of a gun" Clay said tilting his large hat up "The sonna b!tch is evolving"
Everyone stared as the tadpole glowed and grew, changing shape as it evolved. Iian Stared with wide eyes and an open slack jaw as he watched his comrade evolve. The energy given off by the evolution was almost palpable, a joyous outpour of energy cumulated from hard work and dedication.
"Palpitoad!" the creature burst out as it stopped glowing and revealed its true form.
"Oh..." Iian began
"My..." Raian continued
"Gothita" Gothita added in
"It's..." Josue began
"F^cking posh as sh!t!" Iian yelled out jumping up and down
Raian stood staring with disgust at the new creature. It was about two and a half feet tall, and it was rather different looking. It stood proud on its two small feet with its long webbed tail flapping behind it. It smiled boldly as it looked onward, its head containing several large bumps, which jutted out from the slick skin into round oddities.
"Lilligant...?" Lilligant said with confusion looking at its ally's odd new form.
"Well then boy" looks like we's gonna have some fun neow" Clay yelled out with a hearty laugh as he threw forth a pok'eball "Come on out Onix!"
Suddenly from the eccentric Clays pok'eball a huge beast began to formulate. The groups
eyes all widened with awe as the enormous rock snake formed before them. It was a beast to behold indeed, shooting well into the air and weighing a great deal, it nearly made the earth shake as it let out a deep growl like noise.
"Well then mister coordinator" Iian said turning his eyes to Raian "We got this?"
Raian looked at the enormous rock creature and its smaller comrade, only two of the
remaining five enemy pokemon. Raian took in a deep breath as he looked at his Lilligant and then Iian.
"We got this..." Raian replied
Several minutes later
"HaHa, well boys y'all put on a real nice show" Clay yelled out with a large belly fueled laugh, his brow covered in sweat now which nearly dripped into his eye "Yous guys luck has finally run out"
Raian and Iian exchanged worried looks as they turned their attention to the current situation.
On the battlefield stood the enemies pokemon; a worn down Excadrill and a Baltoy.
Opposite the enemies were Raian and Iian's last pokemon, their last glimmer of hope; Lucario who was on the ground panting and swadloon who stood in front of Lucario with a stern look.
"Now you two are some pretty nig knuckle head I tell you what" Clay continued "At first you using a Palpitoad and you using a Lilligant made me think you would be smart, and then you busting out a Glaceon, hoohoo boy, I really thought y'all were gonna give me a run for my money...but then...I got rid of those, and what do you gents bust out? A Lucario? A Combusken? And now your last grass is a swadloon? Oh come on..."
Raian and Iian both stood quiet, unsure of what to do or say. The field had turned quite
drastically from earlier, now being well in Clay's favor. The two were running out of options fast, and they had to come up with something.
"Come on guys, you got this!" Josue yelled out "You're evenly matched with clay, and you have the grass type, you have the advantage!"
"Gothita Goth!" Gothita yelled out
"Growl!" Growlithe added on, the sideline now filled with Josue's pokemon all barking out their encouragement for Raian and Iian.
"Alright" Raian said as he flipped his hood up "Iian, I'm trusting you to win this"
"What?" Iian said in confusion
"I'm going to do something stupid" Raian replied "Lucario probably won't make it through, but it should weaken Clay enough for you to grab us our win"
"I still don't..." Iian began
"I need you to trust me" Raian replied
"...Fine, alright...let's do it" Iian responded with a smile
"Alright Lucario!" Raian yelled out "Time for a final move"
"Lucar!"
Lucario replied as he struggled to his feet
"What are you babbling on about neow?" Clay asked, "It's over, alls I have to do is attack your Lucario and he's out"
"Oh I know, but sometimes to nail a victory you have to do something unexpected and stupid" Raian replied
"This ain't no contest Nancy boy, this is a battle" Clay responded, "Unexpected will make you lose"
"Guess we'll see" Raian replied "Lucario get in close and dark pulse!"
"What now?!" Clay asked in shock as Lucario suddenly bolted forth "Excadrill use metal
claw!"
Lucario quickly darted forth and leapt over Baltoy, Excadrill pulled back its silver glowing claws to attack Lucario. Lucario kept his mind calm as he gracefully landed between the two enemy pokemon, Excadrill began to shoot forth its claw as Lucario gathered his energy. As Excadrill came within inches of Lucario he shot forth an enormous dark wave of energy, pulsating through Excadrill and Baltoy.
"Whoa" Josue said with awe as the wavelength shot back the two pokemon and forced them hard to the ground
"A critical hit"
"Pansear Pan!" Pansear blurted out jumping onto Josue's back
"Why you little...!" Clay yelled out as he watched his pokemon both struggle to their feet
"Excadrill now use Rock slide!"
Excadrill quickly drove its claws into the ground and then shot them back out, as they came out they brought several enormous boulders with them, which the pokemon launched at Lucario.
"No!" Iian yelled out "Quickly Swadloon, use Razor leaf!"
Swadloon followed its master's commands, but was too late. The leaves struck Excadrill hard, but Lucario was already struck hard with the boulders.
"Both Excadrill and Lucario are unable to battle" The referee yelled out "Trainer Raian is out of pokemon"
"It's all up to you to win us those badges," Raian said to Iian
"No...f^cking...way" Josue said from the sideline pointing. Both Iian and Rain quickly turned to what he was pointing at, which happened to be Swadloon.
"That just ain't possible..." Clay said staring with confusion
"Holy golbat on a stick" Raian said
"Bloody hell" Iian replied simply as a glowing creature cracked out of the hard leaf cocoon.
Everyone stared as the glowing creature morphed and grew.
"Leavanny" the creature said in a sweet and somewhat gurgled voice as it stopped glowing.
In that moment Iian's eyes practically went from the size of dinner plates to the size of satellite dishes as he found himself unable to speak or make any noise other than an odd squeak.
"Two...in one battle?" Raian said with shock "That's just scary"
"How freaking lucky can you be?" Josue asked
"Growlithe!" Growlithe yipped
"Alright!" Iian yelled out suddenly "Raian get your stupid wolf off the field so me and Leavanny can beat this hick and get our badges!"
"Leavanny Le!" Leavanny said happily tilting its head
"Yeah yeah" Raian responded running over to his nearly crushed Lucario
It took a minute or two to get the unconscious Lucario out of the boulders, but Raian finally did, at which Iian's excitement grew tenfold.
"Alright boy, don't think just because your stupid bug evolved that now you can..." Clay began "Leavanny use Razor leaf!" Iian yelled out, at which Leavanny quickly shot forth a wave of leaves all striking the Baltoy
"What?! Hey now!" Clay yelled out "Baltoy use..."
"Leavanny use Bug Bite!" Iian yelled out to his comrade. Leavanny charged forth and quickly shot forth its pinchers into Baltoy "Now while you're close finish the b stard off with struggle bug!"
It was a quick but very effective motion as within seconds Baltoy was on the ground unable to move.
"Baltoy is unable to battle! Leavanny is the winner and the match goes to the team of Raian and Iian!" The ref yelled out
As the ref yelled this phrase out all of the pokemon on the sideline charged the field; Raian's, Iian's, and Josue's pokemon all joyfully pounced on the two. Iian made his way through all the pokemon to his new Leavanny who he quickly gave a large hug to and lifted off the ground into the air.
"Well well, those fancy dressed sons of b!tches did it" Clay said as he returned Baltoy "Well played, well played"
For the moment the tri finds themselves overtaken with joy at defeating their most difficult challenge yet, but it isn't over quite yet, Josue is on the battlefield next. Despite the evolutions and teamwork building, Josue will be on his own soon, can he handle what Raian and Iian barely could?
