A/N as of right now there are no more votes because now May, Brendan, and Wally get their new pokemon.
However a lot, and I mean a lot of people wanted Brendan to have Salamence so I've decided to give him one.
The results, if anyone cares are as followed.
Aggron 17.
Flygon 15.
Salamence 6.
So the characters shall get the pokemon as followed.
May- Aron.
Wally- Trapinch
Brendan- Bagon.
Sorry if you don't like the results. I really hope you'll still stick around.
May was currently behind the pokemon centre, thinking about what pokemon she'd use against Wattson. From what she had heard her opponent would have promised to be a very challenging opponent and honestly she didn't feel prepared for it at all.
Brendan was also with her giving any insight he had.
"If he sends out his Magnizone then the best pokemon to use would be a pokemon with a ground attack." he said.
May shook her head and said "That's great advice but it's a pity that I don't have any."
Brendan ran his hand through his white hair and said "then you should probably go with either Torchic or Electrike." Brendan said.
"Flame charge and fire fang." May guessed.
"No I mean tackle and spark. Of course use flame charge and fire fang. They are the most effective." Brendan said sarcastically but joking around. However May looked like she wasn't in the mood for a joke. After getting no laugh from her Brendan sighed and went on. "Hey I was kidding May. But since you don't have any pokemon that know a ground type move it looks like you'll have to win this with strength." Brendan said.
"Yea but that will only help me so far. Type advantage is great but he has a fully evolved Pokemon. I don't even know how the hell I'm supposed to beat him." May said as she scratched her head in confusion.
"Well that's a problem I suppose. In fact thinking about it logically you're doomed." Brendan said.
"Thanks a bunch." May said dropping her head to the floor and looking depressed.
"Hey calm down okay. I was just agreeing with you okay. Look I'm sure if you train with your Pokemon and believe in them then you'll be fine." Brendan said trying to reassure her and fix his small mistake.
Suddenly Wally came running around the corner and ran over to the two of them while panting heavily.
May got to her feet "Wally are you ok?" she asked with worry.
Wally pulled out an inhaler from his pocket and took several puffs from it before he nodded and let out a big breath.
"No need to worry. The air around here is very clean. It does wonders for my lung." Wally said.
May hugged her green haired friend and said "good because you really scared me back in Petalburg."
Wally hugged her back and said "I'm sorry about that."
"You claim that the airs fine but you still seem in bad shape. Listen man I'm sure you're excited but you really need to calm down and take it easy or else you may hurt yourself." Brendan said.
"Sorry about that." Wally said with a weak smile.
"Just keep it safe. Anyway I wanted to ask you, how likely is it for a trainer to beat a Magnezone with a team of first stage Pokemon?" Brendan asked
"Depends what first stage are they because if they're like Torkoal then maybe it's possible though it would be hard I suppose." Wally said
"This isn't helping me. Damn it I really need to catch me a better Pokemon. Maybe one resistant to Electric types." May said.
"Huh was he asking me so I could help you out. Well then that's why I ran over here." Wally said
"So what's the rush?" May asked looking up hopefully.
"Well we have to go to route 111 right now!" Wally said.
"Why?" May asked.
"Because there's a house there with a family of three and if you're able to beat one of them then they'll give you a strong pokemon." Wally said.
"Wait a second are you talking about the Winstrate family challenge?" Brendan asked.
"Yeah you've heard of it?" Wally asked.
"Oh yeah you can either fight them one on one or if you have two friends you can have a triple battle." Brendan said.
"Triple battle?" May asked confused.
"Its when you fight with three pokemon at once. Or six trainers battle using one pokemon each." Brendan said.
May was getting really excited now and said "if the three of us work together then I'm sure we'll be able to beat this challenge."
"I doubt that May. Random question, how many triple battles have we been in." Brendan said
"Well none but-"
"But nothing. The family is used to triple and they always are challenged to them. I hear they rarely lose in triple battles because their teamwork is that top of the line." Brendan said
"But if we just try and work hard enough then I'm sure we'll do fine." May said
"Maybe but still Brendan has a point." Wally said.
"Wally not you too. Aren't you supposed to be on my side."
"I'm sorry May but if I'm being realistic then our chances aren't very good. I don't like it anymore then you do but we really don't stand much of a chance the way we are. But maybe if we were to face them individually then we'd stand a chance." Wally said.
"And on top of all that we really don't understand each others battle style perfectly. Trust me going all in for a triple battle is not a wise choice." Brendan said.
"ugh fine then. But I still want to battle them one on one." May said
"Fine by me but we will be sure to play it smart. Each of these trainers are on a whole other level than us. We'll have to use type advantage and strategy to win." Brendan said
"So you'll come with me?" Wally asked.
"Yeah let's do it!" May said.
"We're going to beat the Winstrate challenge!" Brendan said before the three ran towards route 111.
Wally lead them to a medium sized house and saw a middle aged man and woman, along with a young child and an old woman sitting outside.
"Excuse me? Are you the Winstrate family?" Brendan asked.
"Yes we are dear. I'm Laura. This is my husband Victor and that's my mother in law Nicole." Victoria said.
"Call me Nikki children." the old woman said.
"And I'm Amy." the young girl chirped.
"Are you here to try our challenge?" Victor asked.
"Yes the three of us are." May said.
"Excellent! Mom did you hear that?" Victor asked.
"Of course I did Victor. I'm old not deaf." the Nicole said.
"So are you three children going to try and fight us individually or all at once?" Laura asked.
"One on one please." May said.
"Excellent! And I suppose it's only fair to show you three what you're fighting for. Victor go get the pokemon." Nikki said.
Victor entered the house and came back out with three pokeballs in his arms and released them.
The first pokemon was small and had a metal body with holes and a black stomach and large blue eyes.
The second pokemon was an orange pokemon with a large head and a large mouth that looked like it could bite down on May's entire hand. Its body was smaller then it's head and it stood on four small stubby legs.
The third pokemon was a blue pokemon that stood on two legs and had a rough snout and three gray ridges on its head that looked really sturdy.
"So if the three of you manage to beat the three of us then you will get your pick of one of these pokemon." Nikki said now standing and walking with a cane.
May looked over at Brendan and noticed that he was staring directly at Bagon placed his hand on his headband. Right on the spot where he had the scar.
"Is something wrong." May asked confused
"Nothing" Brandon said turning away
"Amy could you take these pokemon back inside?" Victor asked.
"Sure daddy." the small child said before pointing towards the door. Aron, Trapinch, and Bagon obeyed and entered the house.
"Now who would like to go first?" Nikki asked.
Brendan walked forward and said "I will if you two don't mind."
Wally and May both shook their heads and stepped back.
Nikki stepped forward and said "let's see how you do against me young man. Torkoal go!"
"Torkoal Tor." the Torkoal said.
"Perfect. Marshtomp let's go!" Brendan said releasing his starter.
"Choosing a Pokemon with a type advantage huh young man. Wise choice indeed but unfortunately it won't be enough to save you." Nikki said
"We'll see about that. Anyway the first moves yours ma'am." Brendan said.
"How kind of you. Someone taught you to respect your elders. Torkoal gyro ball!" Nikki said.
Torkoal leapt into the air and withdrew into its shell, which then started spinning quickly and flew right at Marshtomp who was struck in the chest and went flying backwards.
"Marshtomp get back up and use water gun!" Brendan said.
"Protect." Nikki said.
Marshtomp shot back to his feet and launched a jet of water from his mouth that struck the green barrier that had surrounded Torkoal.
"Flamethrower." Nikki said.
"Water gun!" Brendan countered.
Torkoal shot a strong jet of flames from its mouth that collided with the jet of water that Marshtomp had fired but to Brendan's surprise flamethrower overpowered the water gun and Marshtomp was hit with the flamethrower.
Marshtomp let out a small grunt but other then that he looked fine.
"Darn it, I didn't count on that. Fine then Marshtomp use Water Gun Again!" Brandon said
"Gyro Ball to deflect it." Nikki said.
Torkoal started spinning as Marshtomp fired a jet of water but Torkoal deflected the water with it'd spinning shell and it took little damage and then spun into Marshtomp pushing it backwards and then moving back itself to avoid any further damage.
"Get up and use mud shot!" Brendan said as Marshtomp rose to it's feet.
"Gyro ball." Nikki said.
Torkoal withdrew into its shell and started spinning again while Marshtomp fired a ball of mud from his mouth. Unfortunately as soon as the mud hit Torkoal shell it bounced off.
"Who cares we'll just keep attacking. Marshtomp use Tackle!" Brendan said
"Then we'll use protect then sunny day." Nikki said.
Torkoal stopped spinning and came back out of its shell before being surrounded with a green barrier. Meanwhile Marshtomp tried to slam into it but when it attempted this, it bounced right off of it and got knocked backwards.
Then Torkoal charged an orange ball in its mouth and then shot it up towards the sky where it vanished.
After the ball vanished Brendan felt the sun get brighter and hotter.
"Well now Marshtomp water moves are down to half power." Brendan said to himself.
"Torkoal flamethrower." Nikki said.
Torkoal launched another jet of flames at Marshtomp. This flamethrower was bigger stronger then before and made Marshtomp grunt in pain.
"And now Torkoal's fire moves are powered up on top of that." Brandon said
"You see my Torkoal is by no means a powerful attacker. It's true strength lies in it's amazing defense. You see though I do have means of giving my Torkoal some extra fire power. Because of Sunny day we easily make up for our disadvantage in strength and type." Nikki said
"Who cares if water moves are weakened though. We still have physical attacks. Now use Brick break!" Brendan said.
"Protect" Nikki said.
Torkoal quickly created a green barrier and Marshtomp swung it's arm downwards slamming into the green shell but failing to break through it at all.
"Sorry young man but your strength isn't enough to break through our protect. It is a good effort but it isn't enough." Nikki said
"Brick break again!" Brandon said
"And we'll use protect again." Nikki said
Torkoal attempted to use protect again however this time no barrier came and Marshtomp slammed it's arm into Torkoal and knocked it into the air.
"Now water gun" Brendan said.
Marshtomp shot out a jet of water that slammed into the Torkoal knocking it to the ground and damaging it.
"I knew Protect would work only a certain number of times before failing. The more you use it, the less likely you are to have it work. Of course this only applies to when you're using the attack in a row but still it's helpful."Brendan said
"Quite impressive young man." Nikki said.
"Thank you ma'am but I'm just getting started." Brendan said back.
"Torkoal flamethrower!" Nikki said.
Despite taking all that damage Torkoal easily rose top it's feet and shot out a jet of fire that slammed into Marshtomp and pushed it backwards to the ground though Marshtomp was able to rise back up to it's feet from the attack.
"Now Gyro Ball." Nikki said.
Torkoal's shell started spinning and it flew at Marshtomp and hit sending him flying backwards but fortunately managed to land on his feet.
"Mud shot!"
"Protect ." Nikki said.
Marshtomp launched ball of mud from his mouth that splattered against the green barrier that was protecting Torkoal.
"Now then Torkoal use Flamethrower on Marshtomp!" Nikki said
"Jump out of the way and use mud shot!" Brendan said
Torkoal shot out a jet of fire that nearly slammed into Marshtomp but luckily Marshtomp was able to jump out of the way and then create a handful of mud balls and slam Torkoal in the back.
"Perfect now use Brick Break!" Brendan said.
"Slide underneath it and then hit it in the back with Gyro Ball!" Nikki said
Marshtomp dove straight towards Torkoal with it's arm out and ready to slam into the turtle Pokemon but right as it got close to it's target, Torkoal slid underneath Marshtomps very feet and then started spinning and slammed into Marshtomp from behind hitting the water type when it's guard was down.
"Man this isn't good. Fine then we'll just use Water gun again!" Brendan said
Marshtomp shot out a jet of water that slammed into Torkoal and started damaging it.
"Let's push it backwards with Flamethrower!" Nikki said as her torkoal shot out a jet of fire that slammed into Marshtomp and knocked it backwards.
"Get up!" Brandon said as Marshtomp rose to it's feet though when it did Brendan saw that Marshtomp was suffering from a burn.
"My my how unfortunate. It looks like your Marshtomp may be burned now and unfortunately I think this may mean the end of it. I'll have to finish it off here and now." Nikki said
"Yea right. We won't lose that easily. Use Brick Break!" Brendan said
"Fine then we'll counter with this. Torkoal use Solar Beam!" Nikki said
"Please you need way too much time to charge up." Brendan said confident that his move would hit first and that he could come up with a counter.
"Normally yes but you're forgetting one thing. The sunlight will make it so we are able to get our attack in right now. Now then Torkoal be a dear and finish off that Marshtomp!" Nikki said
As soon as Marshtomp got close to Torkoal, Torkoal launched a bright beam of light that struck Marshtomp and made the water and ground type yell in pain and collapse.
"Well looks like that's it young man." Nikki said.
Brendan looked down at the ground, unable to meet anyone's eye and said "yep."
"There's no need to be upset young man. I've been battling with Torkoal for fifty years." Nikki said as she walked over to Torkoal and scratched it's head.
"Torkoal Tor!" Torkoal said with a goofy laugh.
Brendan returned his Marshtomp and met Nikki's gaze and gave her a small smile and a respectful bow before walking back over to May and Wally.
"You put up a good battle." Wally said.
"Great try." May said taking his hand in hers and giving it a small squeeze.
"Thanks guys." Brendan said not looking as sad.
"So which of you is next?" Nikki asked.
A/N I think this is a good place to end this part. Next chapter should be about 5000 words.
A special thanks to RPG1115 for helping me with this chapter.
Now until we meet again.
Jaffa3 out.
