Pokémon Ash's Adventure
Authors note
Thanks so much to the reviews, faves and new follows on my story I was very pleased with my last chapter especially the battle between Pikachu and Raichu in answer to a review from Vallavarayan Pikachu knows the same speed attacks as it had from the show at the time they faced Raichu too I try to use speed as realistic as I think they could be though I do think I have some way to go till I master what I'm trying to come across but thanks for the review.
Anyway in this chapter it is going to be focused mainly on Misty and Violet's gym battle, as always rights are owned by the company and Nintendo I'm sure there are more I have forgotten also a reminder that no money is made from this story.
Chapter 21 Grudge match
Violet and Ritchie followed the irate Misty into the Cerulean City gym not wanting to anger the gym leader further but apparently they wouldn't get their wish.
"He is not welcome here he will have to wait outside" yelled Misty which made Violet jump Misty had a loud shout on her.
"Misty your gym has always welcomed people to watch your gym battles you told me that remember" Ritchie said back angrily, Violet meanwhile hadn't missed what was said "wait you know each other" asked Violet.
"Oh yes we do unfortunately and maybe if your good I will tell you how it is also why he is not welcome here, as you said I did tell you that but as I am the gym leader and you are a failed trainer I make the rules so get out".
Spat Misty Violet couldn't believe her ears she might not like Misty but she had heard how kind a reputation she had here and wouldn't take her insulting Ritchie lightly "don't you say that Ritchie is a great trainer" Violet shouted back.
"Oh really Violet if he is such a great trainer why is it he isn't well known now enough of this he is not allowed in and we both know you need this badge so stop dilly dallying and get in" and with that Misty stormed away muttering curses to herself.
Violet turned to Ritchie pleading in her eyes as much as she wanted him to watch her she needed this badge.
Ritchie put a finger on her lips making her shiver "don't Violet it is ok honest I will wait for you in the Pokémon centre, no matter what you or I may think of Misty she is a powerful trainer and you need to focus to beat her good luck" and with that he pulled her close and gently kissed her lips making her feel as if the world had stopped eventually he pulled away smiling at her he simply waved and walked away leaving her standing there with a shocked but pleased look on her face.
Eventually Violet came to her senses and walked in to the gym, inside she saw a reception area with a small pc in the corner and a young man with dark hair at the counter who beckoned her over.
"Miss Misty has told me to tell you to enter when ready; there is a pc with a teleporter if you wish to change the Pokémon in your team for your match good luck "explained the receptionist.
Violet smiled and went to the pc in the corner and made her changes, Geodude was a no go in this match and had to be changed a few over changes were made to and a few moments later Violet had her team.
Entering the door to the left of her revealed an aquarium filled with water Pokémon some were the gym leaders and others were wild Pokémon given to the gym for people to learn about them, she saw schools of Goldeen led around by a Seaking its evolved form, there were also diagrams on the walls of various charts and evolution diagrams for example the squirtle family.
The aquarium was so interesting that it took half an hour before Violet reached the doors to the gym she was sure this would make Misty angrier with her but she had to admit she didn't really care it was beautiful and who knows it may help her in the battle.
She entered the room through double doors a great pool with steps leading to the top and stands surrounding it she could see Misty on the red side of the arena and a referee on a platform in the middle a blue side was left for her to climb on too white circles were dotted around the surface of the water and a great electric scoreboard was hung from the ceiling.
"So you are finally here" said a surprisingly calm Misty who noticed Violets look "oh I don't go into battle that angry I'd be sure to make mistakes, I see lover boy is gone good we don't want him distracting you" it was a shameless taunt that made Violet flush angrily.
"Then it is a good job Ash isn't here it would make my job so much easier" this made Misty flush with anger inside but she managed to hide it with a smile "well I agree with you for once I would hate to see him see your betrayal" Misty sniped back normally she was polite and respectful to her challengers but nothing about Violet had made her like the girl especially after that letter to Ash.
Violet was about to snap back but Misty beat her too it "now im sure we would all love to hear what you have to say Violet but we have a battle to begin" said Misty condescendingly as if Violet were a two year old "the rules are simple this will be a six on six Pokémon battle first person to knock out loses only the challenger may change Pokémon, so let's begin "explained Misty.
Violet had rarely wanted to beat someone so badly in her life and she had the feeling Misty felt the same way and it all came back to Ash and Ritchie which were the reasons for her anger.
"The challenger Violet from Pallet town will face one of the Cerulean City sensational sisters Misty the match will be a six on six Pokémon battle the challenger is allowed to withdraw her Pokémon at any time and will start first do you understand?" asked the referee they both nodded "very well you may begin" ordered the ref.
So the time had begun but who to choose first thought Violet maybe using her least trained Pokémon first would be a good idea thought Violet while Misty waited with a cold look of determination on her face.
"Spearow go" the bird Pokémon cried a challenge and settled on a platform to wait, Spearow only knew basic attacks but had the advantage of flight like most of the Pokémon Violet will use in this battle "Goldeen go" shouted Misty she threw her poke ball to reveal an orange and white Pokémon with on its head Violet decided to check it with her pokedex.
"When it is time for them to lay eggs, they can be seen swimming up rivers and falls in large groups" explained the pokedex.
"Take to the sky spearow and watch out for any attacks" ordered Violet, the bird Pokémon took off and went high above the arena Misty didn't seem to bothered by this "stay under water swim around and fire multiple water guns at various times" shouted Misty.
Violet could see goldeen under water swimming at a surprisingly quick pace when it jumped out suddenly firing a quick water gun at a surprising speed and deadly accuracy, zooming towards spearow who only just dodged it thought it clipped spearow's wing making it cry in pain though managed to stay airborne.
Violet had to do something "go lower towards the water" she told Spearow who did as she said and was now closer to the water seconds later Violet spotted movement in the water "use quick attack now" yelled Violet pointing in the direction she wanted Spearow to go.
She timed the attack just right Goldeen jumped in the air firing another water gun as she did which missed the oncoming Spearow in the process, Goldeen fell in to the water but over wise seemed ok.
Misty decided not to change the order she had made and to allow Violet to make the same attack again.
Violet noticed the ripple again and ordered another quick attack in that direction Spearow went in that direction again starting the quick attack up when "use horn attack instead" Violet's eyes went wide as she saw Goldeen move her horn right at Spearow who unfortunately kept going and went right into goldeen's horn.
The force of its own attack smashing into goldeen's made Spearow fall hard into the water floating back up a moment later unconscious the referee declared Spearow unable to battle and she returned it.
While she was doing that she had no idea that Goldeen had misjudged its landing and had smashed down hard into the stone platform and was now struggling to swim.
"Tornado go" yelled Violet and her Pidgeotto appeared with a cry Misty gave a laugh "I remember when your precious boyfriend tried to catch one he was useless back then" she taunted.
"You seem to know him well, quick attack now Tornado" Violet ordered Tornado who swooped down and hit Goldeen knocking it out.
"I thank you for ending it quickly for Goldeen an error on my part not anything you did" Misty spat "yes I travelled with Ritchie for a year I'm guessing he didn't tell you that, I wonder how much you actually know him" questioned Misty as she did she threw a poke ball and the yellow duck Pokémon Psyduck appeared.
"you don't seem to like each other now what happened?" asked Violet curious despite her dislike "maybe if you beat my Psyduck I will tell you" talk was over for now it was time to start battling again.
"I will hold you to that" promised Violet "Use gust Tornado" Tornado sent a strong attack at Psyduck who simply jumped in the water to avoid the attak and when it passed jumped back on.
Violet decided to take on a more direct attack "quick attack" she ordered Tornado who swooped down gathering speed but before Tornado could strike Psyduck its eyes glowed blue and slowed down Tornado until he came to a stop in mid-air almost as if grabbed in an invisible hand which than pulled back and slammed Tornado as hard as it could into the wall taking it down ruthlessly Tornado was unconscious as easy as that.
"That is a tactic I developed for those who would use indirect attacks against Psyduck" explained a grinning Misty.
Violet said nothing and returned Tornado choosing a Pokémon who could match Psyduck's psychic abilities in battle "Melody go" shouted Violet the rare pink Butterfree entered the field humming a song "Psychic now" ordered Violet " and you Psyduck" countered Misty.
Both Pokémon's eyes glowed blue and two invisible forces met between the Pokémon battling for dominance Violet and Misty couldn't see the attacks and only knew from their Pokémon's reactions how they were doing.
"Keep going" both trainers called at the same time offering encouragement the Pokémon increasing their efforts and Violet didn't know if she was imagining it but felt a shiver down her spine, both Pokémon gave a huge cry and it felt as if an invisible bomb had gone off a great bang sounded and both Pokémon were blown away by the force landing in the water both unconscious.
Violet and Misty called back their Pokémon and Misty looked at Violet "I believe I owe you an explanation when I was ten years old I left my sisters telling them I wanted to learn as much about water Pokémon as I could, come back and run the gym as I believed it should be run anyway I met a young trainer much like how ash is now and we got on well mainly cause of our love for Pokémon, Ritchie and I made a great team as we travelled around Kanto training together either for badges or in events where I could test my skills as a water trainer".
Misty paused to take a breath "The more I travelled with Ritchie I noticed things I dint like firstly un like Ash Ritchie could not accept a loss, you may think ok he is a sore loser fine you get people like that believe me but he would never accept that it was his fault or his tactics or that it just wasn't his day, he would take it out on his Pokémon making brutal training sessions or rash decisions".
"one such time was at Lt Surges gym he had just lost with his Pikachu against Raichu and lost his temper bug time he took out a thunderstone he had at the time and forced his Pikachu to evolve something his Pikachu didn't want to do, both me and Surge shouted at him but he took no notice looked at us contentiously and walked out".
Misty continued "we didn't talk for weeks after but I stayed with him hoping for my friend the one I loved to return eventually we made up though reluctantly on Ritchie's side now I can look back, we made it through gym battles and other challenges until he finally achieved his dream and got to the indigo plateau, he went into his first round in high hopes against a Pokémon trainer called Katie green from Pallet town im sure you know her, she seemed to choose the right Pokémon every time, the right tactics and luck was on her side and beat Ritchie with ease".
"He was humiliated and to add insult to injury Katie lost in the second round the press remarked he was the only trainer to lose to someone from Pallet town who had their worse performance in the tournament to date as you well know, it made him to feel singled out and that's when he left me a note of all things on my bed he blamed me for his performance saying I distracted him from training because I tried to get him to experience life once in a while it broke my heart and trust in people for a while and I went home to my sisters humiliated that's why I hate him and why I hate you that note you left Ash reminded me of him and his betrayal" Misty cried "you should know that night he declared he would never like anyone from Pallet town which makes me wonder why he's with you don't trust him Violet".
She said the last pleadingly tears in her eyes "let's take a break be back in ten" and Misty ran a way leaving a stunned Violet.
Ten minutes later and Violet was back on her side of the field mind buzzing with questions she wanted to talk to Ritchie about though she wasn't sure if she did he would want her anymore her musings were interrupted as Misty appeared slamming the door behind her running up the platform.
"Are you ready" asked a smiling Misty apparently Violet wasn't as hated any more Violet nodded "ok then Horsea go" a little blue sae horse Pokémon appeared interesting thought Violet she knew just who to choose "Wartortle go" out came the turtle Pokémon and for the first time in this match Violet had the same Advantage of Misty, a Pokémon who could battle underwater, both Pokémon went underwater and at the same time both trainers ordered an attack.
"Tackle now" they both ordered Horsea and Wartortle swam at each other hard and met in the middle, Horsea being the smaller Pokémon took more damage and got pushed back further while Wartortle took little damage and didn't move, not wanting to lose the advantage Violet struck "skull bash now" gathering speed Wartortle put its arms, legs, tail and head inside its shell which was spinning and struck Horsea once again who dazed from the last attack couldn't move and hit the wall hard floating up to the surface unconscious.
"Horsea return bad luck go Squirtle" called Misty out came the smaller turtle Pokémon Wartortle gave a great cry seeing a member of its own species.
"use bide" Misty's Squirtle floated braced for attacks Wartortle had to knock Squirtle out over wise the energy Squirtle unleashed would be very painful for the Pokémon "bubble beam now" ordered Violet Wartortle unleashed a stream of bubbles hitting Squirtle who took the damage in stride.
"Tackle now" Wartortle set off and hit Squirtle again sending it back with the force of the attack but it was still ok "skull bash now" ordered Violet a little panicked this time Wartortle once again disappeared into its shell and smashed into Squirtle who unleashed its energy at the same time the energy sent the two Pokémon to the other side of the pool unconscious.
Both trainers returned their Pokémon "Staryu I choose you" shouted Misty and a light brown star shaped Pokémon appeared with a gem in its centre.
"Ivysaur go" Violet also shouted and her faithful grass Pokémon appeared.
"Quick in to the water Staryu" Violet heard Misty shout and saw a way to knock out her opponent quickly " use vine whip now" Ivysaur hit out with vine whip catching Staryu so quickly with force against the wall knocking it out quick and effectively.
If losing a Pokémon so quickly affected Misty she didn't show it "Starmie go" shouted Misty the big purple star Pokémon the evolved form of Staryu appeared Misty wasting no time ordered a attack which if hit would knock out Ivysaur straight away "Ice beam now" realising she had no time to withdraw and that Ivysaur couldn't swim in those few mini seconds Violet struck.
"push yourself up in the air and use vine whip on Starmie while in the air" and Ivysaur did just that using vine whip it threw it sef into the air and while in the air used vine whip in the same way as before striking Starmie hard in to the wall knocking it out.
Returning Ivysaur she followed Misty to the top of the arena where she was presented with the cascade badge "I apologise for my earlier behaviour Violet as much as I dislike you and what you did to Ash I shouldn't of acted so unprofessional I am sorry" said Misty Violet started forward and hugged the surprised gym leader "I apologise for the same reasons and also my jealousy towards you too it was a great battle thank you".
Misty led Violet to the exit and Violet said goodbye "Violet don't forget what I said about Ritchie be careful with your heart" and with that a confused Violet left the gym.
