Book 2: Colosseum Chapter

Round 25: Vs. Voltorb

Kyanite, Jovi and Professor Krane were all sitting outside in the sun, with Krane reading a newspaper, Jovi playing with some rocks on the ground and Mimi and Kyanite with a board game in her hand, enjoying the rays of the sun.

"Jovi, want to play a board game with me?" Kyanite asked, taking out Poke Dash.

"Kyanite, Jovi knows you have work to do" Jovi replied. Kyanite sighed.

"She's right Kyanite. You said you'd go out to one of those Poke Spots the man Duking discovered" Professor Krane said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Professor, you know how unconfident I've been of my battling skills lately, so please stop pressuring me to go help with the Shadow Pokemon task" Kyanite said.

"That's also the reason I want you to help. Maybe you could add more Pokemon to your team, making you feel safer" Krane said.

"I might be attacked along the way though" Kyanite fretted.

"Well then, wouldn't it give you more experience in battle?" Krane asked.

"...Maybe

"Then go Kyanite. And give Duking my blessing if he's there" Krane said.

"But I don't have an Aura Reader, nor a Snag Machine!" Kyanite complained.

"You get a special version. Amber has his Snag Machine on his arm and his Aura Reader worn on his head. I'm going to install an Aura Reader app into your PDA and a pocket edition Snag Machine I made. You place the Poke Ball on it, then once its converted, take it off the machine and throw it. Good luck Kyanite"

Coming up to the Cave Poke Spot, Kyanite spotted two men battling. Once had a massive afro that was styled like a disco ball and the other man Kyanite recognised as Duking. She ran up to their battle to see the end result.

"Ludicolo, Voltorb, Water Pulse and Thunderbolt combined!" the disco man commanded.

"No, Snubbull!" Duking cried, as the attack made Snubbull faint.

"Miror B, what do you want with the Poke Spots?" Duking asked.

"To catch Pokemon, what else?" Miror B said, while twirling on the spot.

"But I've heard you're part of Cipher. You wouldn't just want to catch Pokemon for no reason" Duking growled.

"What's going on?" Kyanite interjected.

"Girl, you don't get involved. Now Duking, give me those Poke Snacks you promised" Miror B demanded.

"You're from Cipher, he doesn't have to give you anything!" Kyanite said, fake confidently. Inside though, she felt scared.

"Just don't little girl. Duking?"

"No, I won't give the food up. I think it was Kyanite?" Duking asked.

"That's me" Kyanite replied.

"Aah, Professor Krane told me to help you with your battle problem. How about we start with you helping me out here" Duking asked.

"Sure" Kyanite replied, taking out two Poke Balls.

"Duking, give them to me, or I'll have to teach you a lesson again" Miror B said

"I say again, no"

"Give them to me"

"Swell, Pour!" Kyanite's Simipour and Swellow rushed at Miror B, making Miror B have to defend himself with two Ludicolos.

"Bad move. Ludicolo's, do the Water Pulse combo jig!" Miror B hummed.

"Swell, Aerial Ace! Pour, surfs up with the water from the ground!" Kyanite commanded.

"Ludicolo 1, hit back the wave with your own Surf and Ludicolo 2, Protect!" the two attacks Kyanite issued were both subdued, making Kyanite frustrated.

"Mother-!"

"Ludicolo's, Hydro Pump!" Miror B sang.

"Pour, Refle-glggg" Kyanite stared, before getting covered in water. When the water level fell, Pour and Swell fell to the floor exhausted, but not fainted. Kyanite fell to the floor and started crying after rinsing herself out and glancing at her tired Pokemon.

"I'm hopeless! I haven't even hit him once!" Kyanite wined.

"Don't give up Kyanite! You're doing well!" Duking cheered.

"No I'm not! My Pokemon are literally getting washed out!" Kyanite screamed, thrashing about in the puddles of water like a baby.

"Ludicolo's, come back! Voltorb, shock her with Thunderbolt!" Miror B smirked. The Voltorb that Miror B had used before against Duking came out of its Poke Ball and used its electric attack to shock Kyanite and her Pokemon. The power doubled because of the water on them.

"Ayayayayayaya!" Kyanite screamed, falling on the hard floor, electrocuted.

"Swe, LOW!" Swell cried, flying off the ground and attacking Voltorb with all it's might.

"Sim, POUR!" Pour cried, jumping in the air and landing on Voltorb, as Swell smashed Voltorb in it's side.

"Pour? Swell?" Kyanite sniffed, looking up from her crying.

"They still believe you can win, so you should believe too!" Duking said. Kyanite wiped away her tears.

"Right" She then checked her PDA, and what would she discover, but Voltorb was a Shadow Pokemon. Kyanite nodded to herself.

"You can do it Kyanite. Pour, use Strength to hold Voltorb still. Swell use Roost to recover. And..." Kyanite converted a spare Poke Ball to a Snag Ball. "Let's snag a Shadow Pokemon!" Kyanite cheered, as she threw the Snag Ball directly at Voltorb. It enveloped Voltorb with a flash of light and the ball shook once. Twice. Thrice. Click.

"Yes!" Kyanite grinned.

"What? Another trainer with a Snag Machine?" Miror B horrifically realised.

"You bet! Kyanite's back!" Kyanite cheered, grabbing the ball containing Voltorb and dancing around in circles, with Duking and Miror B looking strangely at her.

That's right folks, Kyanite finally has another Pokemon in her arsenal. Finally.
