Check out my profile once in a while to see if I have any more new projects coming.
Chapter 24
And the Games Go On
After taking a nasty hit from a fire attack, the steel-type Pokemon Scizor finally fell over in defeat. Olimar called back his Pokemon into its ball and sighed with relief knowing that he just taken down another opponent. "Phew… That's the sixth battle in a row…" he said. "Only one more battle left…"
"Congratulations on reaching the seventh and final round," the computerized voice said. "This will be the final battle left and instead of facing off against a virtual trainer, I will battle you myself. To play with the rules, I will be using rental Pokemon as well."
"Oh boy, the final battle…" Olimar thought nervously. "Let's hope it isn't too hard…"
"Do you want to switch Pokemon?"
"No thanks; I'm fine with my current team."
"Shall we begin the final battle?"
"Ready when you are…"
"Okay, all your Pokemon will be fully healed. Now let us commence the final battle."
BGM: Frontier Brain Battle (Platinum version)
Olimar got out one of his three Pokeball and threw it onto the arena at the same time a Pokeball popped out of nowhere at the other side of the room. Both the balls opened at the exact same time and the Pokemon came out. Olimar had sent out a Weavile while the CPU sent out a Bronzong.
-
Of course; this battle was being witnessed from the Terrarium Theater. Mewtwo and Pikachu were most interested in this particular game more than anyone else. "Uh oh… Olimar is in a disadvantage…" Pikachu said. "Steel is effective against ice…"
"Bronzong is a steel and psychic type Pokemon while Weavile is dark and ice type," Mewtwo said. "I think Weavile will not be able to deal any super effective hits against Bronzong seeing how the steel typing will cancel out dark weakness and ice just isn't effective at all against steel. Looks like the loss is on Olimar unless he can manage take advantage of Weavile's high attack power and speed to take out Bronzong fast. Even so, Bronzong has good defense in both categories, so a one hit KO isn't possible."
-
"Use Night Slash!" Olimar commanded his Weavile. The Pokemon rushed forward with its claw pulled back and dark energy surged through it. The Bronzong tried to fly away, but it was unable to escape the blazing speed of the dark Pokemon and slashed across its body and took some damage, but it was far from defeated.
"Thankfully the steel typing of Bronzong canceled out the dark type weakness, otherwise it would've been super effective," the computer said. "You are in big trouble this time as steel moves are effective against ice. Bronzong, start off with Trick Room."
Bronzong stretched out its arms to the side and then its eyes glowed with a bright light. Immediately, a force field of sorts was formed and encased the entire arena within it. Olimar looked around with surprise and said, "What is this?!"
-
"Trick Room! A move that allows slower Pokemon to move first!" Mewtwo said. "For a slow Pokemon like Bronzong, there is no better move than this!"
"Wait… That means if Bronzong is planning to use that move, Olimar's Weavile is done for!" Pikachu said.
-
"Gyro Ball!" The computer said. Bronzong stretched its arms to the side again and the tip of the arms glowed with bright silver light as the bell Pokemon started spinning in place really fast, and then it zoomed forward at a blinding speed that Weavile was unable to avoid.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!
The powerful impact sent the dark Pokemon crashing backwards and flying out of the arena and right into the wall really hard, and it was knocked out a single hit. "Oh no!" Olimar gasped.
"Gyro Ball is a move that is at its strongest if the difference in speed between both sides is large. Bronzong is a very slow Pokemon; therefore the move is very effective against a fast Pokemon like Weavile."
Olimar called back the Weavile and said, "Steel type, right? Then I'll have to use him!" He threw the second Pokeball and an Infernape came out from there."
"I see, a fire type Pokemon," the computer said. "Such a pity that my Bronzong has Levitate as its ability and not Heatproof."
"Flare Blitz!" Olimar commanded the Infernape, and the Pokemon ran forward as fire engulfed its body totally.
"Gyro Ball!" The computer commanded the Bronzong to use the same move again. Both sides' Pokeman crashed into each other and pushed against each other back and forth. Eventually, a blast occurred and both of them were blown back from it. Infernape managed to land on its feet but the Bronzong crashed hard onto the floor with burnt marks all over it. It was knocked out.
"Oh yeah! One hit KO!" Olimar said excitedly while jumping up and down.
"Good one," the computer said. Bronzong was called back into its ball and then the second ball showed up and released a Sharpedo which floated off the floor several inches as if it was swimming in air.
-
"Water against fire this time…" Pikachu said. "Typing advantage hasn't been so kind to Olimar…"
"That's not entirely the case here," Mewtwo told him. "Sharpedo is part dark type also, so if Infernape has any fighting moves, he will fare well against Sharpedo."
-
"Sharpedo, use Aqua Jet!" the computer said. Water started to appear around the shark Pokemon and it rushed forward at a very fast speed as if it was a meteor surrounded by water. Infernape quickly leaped out of the way and barely avoided the attack though.
"Use Mach Punch!" Olimar shouted. The monkey Pokemon turned around and then dashed at Sharpedo who had just stopped moving and delivered a quick punch into its face. Even though the punch didn't look powerful, it still caused the shark Pokemon to spin away and crash onto the floor, but it shook off the pain and floated back up again. Olimar noticed that Infernape was holding his fist in pain after delivering the blow too. "What happened?"
"Sharpedo's ability is Rough Skin," the computer said. "Direct attacks will cause the attacker to take damage too because Sharpedo's skin so rough that it can hurt people just by touching it."
"Um…" Olimar looked at a monitor that was placed next to him and looked at Infernape's move set which consisted of Mach Punch, Close Combat, Flare Blitz, and Bulk Up. "All of them are direct attacks save for one that boosts statistics…"
The Sharpedo, under the computer's command, charged at Infernape with Aqua Jet attack again. Instead of escaping though, Olimar commanded the Infernape to use Close Combat. The monkey Pokemon ran forward and unleashed a powerful series of punches and kicks into the shark Pokemon, which not only canceling out its attack but as well as beating the living daylight out of it.
POW SMASH KICK POW WHAM!!!!
The Sharpedo lost its teeth and was bruised badly all over its body as a result and finally fell down in defeat, but because of its ability, it also left behind scratch marks on Infernape too. "Phew… Finally got that thing down…" Olimar said, sighing in relief.
"Good going," the computer said. "Your Infernape is in a poor shape however. Can you take down my last Pokemon?"
Sharpedo was called back and the third and final Pokemon was called out, a Heracross. "Infernape is down to only a bit of HP left…" Olimar thought. "Um… Mach Punch!"
Infernape rushed forward and swung its fist forward, but to its surprise, the Heracross managed to catch it by its hand. And then using the other hand, Heracross punched Infernape across the face and knocked it out in one blow.
"Oh no!"
"You are down to only one Pokemon left," the computer said. "You can only hope that it is someone that can counter my Heracross."
"This is it…" Olimar thought nervously. "It's all or nothing now…" He threw out the last Pokeball and out from it came Alakazam, who had a headband tied around its head for whatever reason.
"A psychic type, I see… You have advantage over the fighting type Heracross, but at the same time I have advantage over you because Heracross is bug type too and knows one of the strongest bug moves, Mega Horn." Under the computer's command, Heracross lowered its head and charged forward in an attempt to ram into Alakazam with its horn.
The psychic Pokemon quickly leaped out of the way but barely got hit in the legs and managed to survive the attack. Heracross turned around and saw Alakazam pointing both its spoon in its direction. Olimar was going to shout to the Alakazam to use a move but then the computer quickly called for the Heracross to use Endure, thinking that the Alakazam was going to use a strong psychic move. The Heracross quickly bent down with its arm over its head in order to endure the incoming attack. "Trick!" Olimar shouted. Alakazam's spoons glowed brightly and the headband around its hand disappeared and was replaced with an eaten apple.
"What?!" the computer said, sounding surprised. "Don't tell me…"
-
"Smart move!" Pikachu said.
"Indeed," Mewtwo said, "Using Trick to swap the Choice Band with Heracross's Leftovers in order to trap it into using Endure only."
-
"Phew… I knew you would fell for it…" Olimar said.
"I have miscalculated this…" the computer said. "You have tricked my Heracross into wearing the Choice Band, and because he used Endure earlier, he can no longer use any other moves and Endure will lose effectiveness with every use."
"Therefore I'm on the winning side now!" Olimar said. "Take him down with Psychic!"
Alakazam's eyes glowed in bright pink light and energy wave was released from all over its body and washed over the Heracross, throwing it backwards onto the floor and defeating it. "I see… So I have lost…" the computer said, withdrawing the Heracross. "Congratulations, you have won this challenge. You are indeed good at Pokemon battling."
"I'm surprised about this myself too…" Olimar said. "But I'm glad that I won! Yippee!"
"You will get the points as promised. I wish you good luck with the other challenges," the computerized voice said. After saying these, the room around Olimar became distorted and he found himself back into the empty room again. He looked at his card and saw that the points were being added into hits current score.
"Yay! I did it! I got lots of points from this!" he said happily as he walked out of the room.

"Phew, we sure had leveled up a lot fighting all these enemies," Samus said, wiping her forehead.
"Eet looks like da castle eez not-a too far now," Mario said, looking at the castle in the distance. "We should-a be able to beat-a theez game very soon."
"Let's get this moving then so we can get out of here and play more games!" Sonic said. "It does get boring stuck playing this game for a while, you know."
"I agree…" Luigi said. "I'm getting tired of this already."
"Okey-dokey, then let's-a go and defeat-a da Critic fast!" Mario said, pointing his sword at the castle. "Move outta!"
-
Wolf looked out from behind the corner he was hiding to make sure the coast was clear. Gripping the machine gun tightly in his hands, he stepped out and ran through the dark halls in order to make it to the door across him fast. Suddenly, the ceiling burst open and a spider-like monster dropped down and hissed at him fiercely. Unfazed by the appearance of the monster, Wolf pointed the gun at the monster and fired into its head, blowing off its eyes and brain until the monster could no longer move. Wolf skipped over its dead body and continued on his way to the door. The door opened when he approached it and he found himself within large room filled with metal boxes and random junks, and there were several brown humanoid monsters coming towards him from all sides too.
"You want a piece of me?" Wolf said with a smirk. "I'm willing to play with you all!" He then swept the room with gun and shot down the monsters one by one, but the ammo eventually ran out. He threw the empty gun at a random monster and then whipped out a pistol and started firing at the incoming monsters. One of them produced a fireball in its hand and tossed it at him and Wolf rolled to the side and shot that monster in the legs to cripple it. He then rushed up to the monster and gave it a punch to the face and knocked it over. Another monster got up to him from behind and swung its arm, but Wolf spun around and caught the arm with his hand and then kicked it in the stomach hard.
More monsters closed in on him and Wolf leaped up into the air and fired at their heads from above. He landed onto the floor and continued firing at them, but the amount of monsters were simply too much. Seeing that he is outnumbered, Wolf made a run for the nearest door but saw that a card key is required to open it. "Looks like I'll have to kill every one of them first," he thought. He turned to see the monsters approaching him, and he also noticed a crate next to him and he kicked it open to reveal a bazooka hidden in there. "Aha! Just what I needed!" He picked up the bazooka, placed it on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger to launch a rocket at the incoming monsters. The rocket hit a single monster but created a massive explosion that blew away the nearby ones.
KABOOOOOM!!!
Using this, Wolf was able to take out all the monsters in a short amount of time. When the monsters were all killed, he saw a yellow card lying in the middle of the room among the bloody pieces of the monsters' body parts. He walked up the card to pick it up and then used it to open the door and continued on his way.
-
"Wolf sure knows what he's doing," Leon said as both him and his partner Panther watched from the screens. "Compared to them…" He turned his head to look at another TV screen which showed the Master Arwing being chased by a large mechanical monstrosity through a tunnel while avoiding lasers shot from all directions.
"Of course; our leader is no match when it comes to things like this," Panther said. "However, he is lacking grace and beauty which only I possess."
"You're a weirdo…"
-
Wolf continued traveling through the interiors of the abandoned space station and he was lucky enough to find several more weapons. As he walked through the dark hallways, a grotesque flying head showed up and cackled manically before breathing out a stream of fire in his direction. Wolf ducked down fast and aimed his shotgun from below and blasted the floating head to its demise. Then the wall burst open and another one of those brown humanoid monsters came out, only to get blown apart by a shotgun blast shortly afterwards.
"Weaklings, bunch of you!" Wolf said. He went down the hall and noticed a sign next to him that showed him the map of the place and his current location. "Looks like I'm near the exit."
He went through another door that was before him and the moment he stepped him, a missile was shot in his direction and thus he leaped out of the way fast and managed to avoid it. He lifted his eyes and saw a bizarre indescribable monster with three eyes and cannons for both arms. "What are you supposed to be?" Wolf asked. The monster roared loudly and then fired a couple of missiles from both its arm cannons and Wolf ran away to avoid it again and then he fired the shotgun at the monster. Though the monster seemed to take damage from the shot, it did not fall in one hit. Wolf continued to fire shotgun blasts at the monster's body as it turned to him to fire more missiles.
Wolf got out of the way once again and came to the conclusion that this must be a boss battle. He put the shotgun away and got out the bazooka and started firing rockets at the body of the monster, each shot creating a powerful and painful looking blast. Despite this, the monster managed to stay alive and fought back with its own attacks.
"Looks like you will provide me some fun!" Wolf thought. The monster's arm cannon glowed brightly and Wolf took note of it and quickly got ready to make a move. Several missiles were shot out at once and surprised him, so he quickly activated his reflector and managed to protect himself from the missiles.
Some of the missiles landed next to him though and he was blown to the side, but it was no fatal blow. When he landed, red electricity surged throughout his claws and he leaped at the monster and delivered a powerful lightning-charged claw swipe at the boss's body, creating a painful gash on it. The monster roared painfully and turned to hit him with its arm cannon and Wolf was knocked back into the wall, but he planted his feet against the wall and kicked off at the monster and slashed it the second time. Wolf then leaped back onto the floor and got out the bazooka again and fired into the face of the monster multiple times, not giving it a chance to fight back. He kept on firing the bazooka until ammo ran out, and the boss was not defeated yet. "You sure are durable," Wolf said. "That makes the fight more fun!"
The monster roared angrily and leaped into the air to land on top of him. Wolf got out the way and got out the shotgun and fired the remaining shots left at the back of the monster before getting out his only weapon left, the pistol. The monster turned around Wolf fired into its face, but it didn't seem to be very effective. "Bah! This thing won't do!" he grumbled as he threw the pistol aside. "I'd rather fight with my bare hands.
The monster growled loudly and charged forward to hit him. Wolf's claws released electricity and he dashed forward at a blinding speed and delivered a slash across the monster's face, causing it to flinch. He then continued to slash the monster multiple times in the face with his electrically charged claws, each hit leaving behind a streak of red lightning. After attacking the monster enough times, Wolf moved back a bit and then rushed right through the monster with one final attack. "Claw of the Thunder God!"
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!
This powerful attack took off a large chunk of the boss's body. Blood poured out from the wound as the monster roared its last and collapsed onto the floor and exploded into pieces.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
With the boss defeated, the door at the far side of the room opened up and Wolf advanced into the room beyond. In there was a small room that had a single switch at the wall. He pulled the switch at the wall and then he heard a computerized voice say to him, "Congratulations! You have completed the game!"
Instantly, the room became distorted and he found himself within the original empty room. "Looks like it's over," he thought, "Wasn't half bad either." He got out his card and saw that the points were tallied into it. "I had fun doing this!"

The one-eyed giant fell over and his body disappeared into nothing after Mario gave it a slash to the body. "Phew… Did-a eet…" he said with a sigh.
"Looks like we leveled up again!" Sonic said. "And the castle is before our eyes already!"
The party looked across the barren wasteland before them and saw a bridge that led to a dark and creepy castle. "The Critic's castle is over there… I never thought we would advance this fast…" Tails said.
"C'mon, it's over once we defeat The Critic," Samus said. "Let's go!"
TO BE CONTINUED
Seems like this round will be longer compared to the previous four, but not that it's a bad thing, right? For people who think the previous ones were too short, this one should satisfy you. The conclusion to this round will be pretty epic too, so be sure to stick around until then!
