Pokemon God/Trainer

Chapter 25

Josephiroth versus May

Thirty minutes are up, and May is on the trainer's side of the battlefield. Everyone is there, and Josephiroth is standing on his side of the field.

May's scoreboard shows her face on it, and Joe's scoreboard has his. Everyone is watching them from their seats, and Joe said, "Please select the battlefield."

May looks at the board, and wanders which one to choose. Since Joe can change the field for his advantage very easily. So she best chooses a field that she could use as well as him.

Than as she looks at the rock button, Joe never changed it for his advantage. Probably the reason is, is because Team Rocket is very easy to defeat. So she pushes the button for the rock battlefield, and so the battlefield changes into it.

"So the rock terrain," Joe said. "Best of luck, for you…"

"Go Blaziken," said May, throwing her poke ball and Blaziken came out. Blaziken is ready for battle…

"Ah, a fire and fighting type Blaziken," Joe said. So he throws his ultra ball out into the air, and he said, "Go Empoleon!" Empoleon came out onto the field, and he too is ready.

May draws out her Pokedex, and hear what is says about Empoleon. "Empoleon: an emperor Pokemon, a water/steel type, and evolve form of Prinplup. You can tell the leader in the pack of Empoleon by the size of its horns-the leader has the biggest ones. It can swim at speeds that rival jet boats."

Empoleon's head appears on Joe's scoreboard, and on May's scoreboard has Blaziken.

"Shall we begin?" Joe asks her.

May nodded, and said, "Blaziken, use blaze kick." Blaziken jumps up into the air, and headed straight towards Empoleon.

Joe said, "Whirlpool," and Empoleon raises it beak upward. Creates a whirlpool, and sends it straight towards Blaziken.

"Dodge it," May said, and Blaziken got out of the way of the whirlpool.

"Good timing," Joe said. "But let's see if you can dodge aqua jet!" Empoleon is envelop in water, and launches straight at Blaziken.

"Dodge it, than use fire spin," May said. Blaziken dodges the aqua jet, and fires a fire spin. It envelops the aqua jet, hurting Empoleon as it lands back on the ground. Empoleon is badly damage from the flames, for he is part steel type. Steel types are weak against fire types, so being attack like that was surprising for Joe.

"Good move," Joe said. "Empoleon, use hydro cannon," Empoleon launches a powerful water blast from his mouth. Heading straight towards Blaziken…

"Use fire blast on it," said May, and this surprise Joe a bit. Blaziken launches a fire blast, striking the hydro cannon. The two moves burst into thick steam, and both Joe and May recognizes this.

Joe slaps his head in irritation, forgot that hydro cannon is just like hyper beam. Empoleon has to take time to recharge, and Blaziken can strike in this steam cover.

"Thanks for the blast," said May. "Now use Blaze kick," Blaziken did it once more. Blaziken's right leg is on flames, and struck hard on Empoleon.

Empoleon is damage heavily from that attack, and he lies down on his back. The steam faded to reveal the two Pokemon, Blaziken stands near the fallen Empoleon. May said, "Way-to-go Blaziken!"

"Too early to cheer, don't you think," said Joe. Both May and Blaziken looks at Joe in confusion, wander why he said that since Empoleon is fainted. "Empoleon, do hydro pump," said Joe.

Empoleon's eyes went wide open, and blasts Blaziken with hydro pump in close range. Sending Blaziken backwards and Empoleon slowly got back up.

"Empoleon isn't out yet, but it is about to be," said May.

"It would be wise of me to call back Empoleon," Joe said, as he hold's Empoleon's ultra ball. "Return," Joe said, and Empoleon return to the ball.

Joe lets it float into the air, and he grabs another one. He throws it into the air, and said, "Go Houndoom!" Houndoom came out, and it howls. The howl sounded so frightening, it sounded like it is a call from the grim reaper.

May saw it, and knew fire attacks won't harm it. So May said, "Return Blaziken," and Blaziken returned into the ball. She grabs another poke ball, and throws it into the air. "Come on out, Wartortle!" Wartortle came out, and appears to be ready to perform a show.

"Wise decision," Joe said. On Joe's scoreboard, under Empoleon's head appears Houndoom. On May's scoreboard, under Blaziken's head appears Wartortle. "Use sunny day," said Joe, and Houndoom sends a fiery orb straight to the sun from his mouth. Than it bursts, causing the light from the sun to be much brighter.

"Water gun," May said, and Wartortle launches a water gun from its mouth. Heading straight towards Houndoom, about to strike.

"Protect," said Joe, and Houndoom created a barrier to block the water gun. "Bite attack," Joe said, and Houndoom ran straight towards Wartortle.

"Use skull bash," said May, and Wartortle launches straight at Houndoom like a missile.

"Switch to Solarbeam," Joe said, Houndoom stops, and brings in sunlight. Than launches a powerful Solarbeam, and struck Wartortle dead on.

Wartortle is on the ground, fainted. May looks at Wartortle in surprise, and calls Wartortle back. On May's scoreboard, Wartortle's head darken.

May looks at Joe in surprise, and asks, "How did Houndoom learn Solarbeam?"

"Simple, Houndoom can be taught Solarbeam. And Houndoom already knew it, and that is why I didn't switch Pokemon when you brought out your water Pokemon," said Joe.

May tries to decide which Pokemon to use to face Houndoom, and came up with one. So she grabs the poke ball from her pocket, and throws it into the air. She said, "Go Skitty!" Skitty came out, and is ready for battle.

"A Skitty?" Joe asks in confusion, but than thought it is probably the only type she thinks could handle his Houndoom. Skitty's head appears under Wartortle's darken head. "No matter, Houndoom, use flamethrower," Joe said, and Houndoom launches a flamethrower from his mouth.

"Dodge it Skitty," May said, and Skitty dodges the attack. "Use double-edge," she said, and Skitty starts running straight at Houndoom with a glowing energy behind it.

"Protect," said Joe, and Houndoom created the barrier to stop Skitty's double-edge. "With Skitty in close range, Houndoom, use Solarbeam," Joe said, and Houndoom begins to draw light into himself.

"Use water pulse," May said.

Joe asks in surprise, "What?" Skitty forms a watery sphere from its mouth, and launches it in close range. The water pulse struck, and Houndoom is sent backwards.

Houndoom is still charging up his Solarbeam, and he launches it. But in the wrong way, it is sent straight towards Josephiroth. Joe shouted, "Ayah!" Than stops the Solarbeam with his right hand…

Everyone stares in surprise, and Joe lifted his left hand that holds an ultra ball and calls back his Houndoom. He looks at it, and said, "You confused my Houndoom. Wise move, I'm surprise your Skitty knows a water attack."

"Well I thought it would be best for my darling Skitty to learn that move," said May.

"Now I know your Skitty can use a water attack," said Joe, and he let's go Houndoom's ultra ball. He grabs another one, and said, "So Houndoom is not the best choice to send back out. But this one is," so he throws the ball in the air. "Go Salamence!" Salamence came out, and is ready for battle as it lands on the rocky ground.

"A Salamence," May said in surprise. She raises her poke ball, and calls back her Skitty. Than grabs another poke ball and throws it into the air, "Go Glaceon!" Glaceon came out, and is ready for battle.

"An ice type, wise choice. You think well on your feet," said Joe. "But there are ways to beat ice types with dragon Pokemon."

"Than let's see," May said with a smile.

"Earthquake," Joe said. May and Glaceon are surprise of this, never expected that. Salamence stomps the ground, causing the earthquake.

"Dodge it," May said, and Glaceon jumps up to dodge the quake.

"Bad move," Joe said. "Double-edge," and Salamence left the ground, and flew straight at Glaceon with glowing energy flowing behind it. Salamence struck hard and fast and Glaceon landed hard on the ground. From the attack, Glaceon fainted.

"Glaceon, return," May said, and Glaceon returns to its poke ball. On May's scoreboard, Glaceon's head darken.

"Now which Pokemon will you choose to handle my Salamence?" Joe asks her.

"Go Blaziken," said May, sending Blaziken once more. Blaziken is already damage, but it is always ready to continue.

"Can your Blaziken handle Salamence?" Joe asks her. "Remember that it was damaged by my Empoleon's hydro pump…"

"Yeah, but my Blaziken is strong enough to beat Salamence," said May.

"Than bring it on," said Salamence, flying in the air.

"Blaziken, fire punch," May said, and Blaziken jumps straight at Salamence with its left claw formed into a fiery fist.

"Use protect," Joe said, and Salamence creates a barrier to stop Blaziken's attack. Blaziken went back to the ground, and Joe said, "Iron tail." Salamence went after Blaziken, and swung hard with her glowing tail.

Struck Blaziken in the back, sending Blaziken forward upon the ground. "Get up Blaziken," May said, and Blaziken got back up. But Blaziken is badly hurt, one more hit and Blaziken will loose.

"Finish this with Dragon Claw," said Joe, and Salamence flew straight towards Blaziken. With her left claw's nails glowing, and about to strike.

"Use sky uppercut," May said, and Blaziken did it just in time. Turning around, and hit hard at the head. Sending Salamence upward, and very effective since Salamence is in the air.

"Good move," Joe said. "But not good enough, use hyper beam in close range." Salamence went straight towards Blaziken, and getting ready to fire they hyper beam.

"Use flamethrower," May said, and Blaziken opens its mouth and fires its flamethrower. Salamence fires the hyper beam at the same time, and both attacks hit at the same time. But Blaziken's attack is weak, since it is badly damage. So hyper beam beats it, and hit hard on Blaziken. Blaziken fells on its back, fainted.

"Blaziken," said May in surprise, and she calls it back into the ball. Than she grabs another poke ball, and throws it, "Go Venusaur!" Venusaur came out and ready for battle.

"I know this is not wise of me, but return," said Joe, calling Salamence back into the ultra ball. "I still have three Pokemon that hasn't battle, and you only have three left. So, go Ariados!" He throws another ultra ball, and Ariados came out.

Venusaur's head appears under Glaceon's darken head, on May's scoreboard. On Joe's, Ariados's head appears under Salamence's head.

"Cover the field with spider web," Joe said, and Ariados covers the field in a giant web. "Now there is no escape for your Venusaur." So he raises his ultra ball, and calls Ariados back. Let it float with the other ultra balls, and grabs one. Throws it, and said, "Come on out, Houndoom!"

Houndoom came back out, and no longer confused. Joe said than, "Now you can't bring out Skitty to use water pulse. So Houndoom, use fire fang."

Houndoom runs through the webbing, heading straight to Venusaur. "Venusaur, use razor leaf," May said, and Venusaur launches the razor leaf. Houndoom dodges each leaf, and the razor leaf cut a few web strings.

Houndoom's fangs are in flames, a fiery mouth. Houndoom bit down on Venusaur's flower, and cause serious damage. Since sunny day is still in effect, not just boost the timing for a Solarbeam but also raises fire power.

"Sleep powder," said May, and Venusaur launches sleep powder from its flower. Houndoom is close, and got the full dose of it. Houndoom fell off Venusaur, and sleeping on the ground. "Now use synthesis," May said, and Venusaur back glows as it heal.

"Wake up Houndoom," Joe said. Thanks to one of Houndoom's abilities, early bird. Houndoom woke up sooner when put to sleep, and during as Venusaur is healing. Joe smiles, and said, "Now use flamethrower, burn the web as well."

Houndoom launches the flamethrower, and it consumes the webs. And also burning Venusaur, Venusaur is being damaged during the healing. Venusaur is alright, but greatly damage.

With the web gone, May made the chance to call Venusaur back. Venusaur gone back into the poke ball, and brings out another one. She said, "Go Skitty!"

Skitty came back out, and is ready for battle once more. Joe raises his ultra ball, and calls back Houndoom. He said than, "I have a Pokemon that can beat your Skitty easily. Go Tropius," and he throws the ultra ball and Tropius came out. Tropius's head appears under Ariados's head on Joe's score board.

The battle continues on, Joe said, "Tropius, use earthquake." Tropius stomps the ground, causing an earthquake. Skitty is hit by it, and full power from the move made Skitty faint.

"That was quick," May said, and on her board Skitty's head darken. May calls Skitty back into its poke ball, and said, "I got a Pokemon that can handle your Tropius. Go Beautifly!" May throws a poke ball, and Beautifly came out.

"Good choice May," Joe said. "But I return Tropius," Joe raised his ultra ball and Tropius returns into it. He let's the ball float with the other five, and grabs another one. He said, "Now, to reveal my sixth Pokemon. Go Manectric!" He throws the ball, and Manectric came out.

May stares in surprise, Manectric can beat Beautifly and her Venusaur who is badly hurt from the fire attack. Manectric's head appears under Tropius head on the scoreboard.

"Use shock wave," said Joe, and Manectric launches a lightning bolt. Went upward, than back down on Beautifly. Shock wave never misses, and it is super damage for flying types. Beautifly is on the ground, fainted. On May's scoreboard, Beautifly's head darken.

May calls her Pokemon back, and all she has now is Venusaur. So she sends Venusaur back out, and said, "This is our last chance Venusaur. Let's make this battle count," and Venusaur nodded.

"Return Manectric," Joe said, and Manectric return back into the ball. Joe said, "Time to finish this battle. Go Salamence!" He throws the ultra ball, and Salamence came out and flew in the air. At that very moment, sunny day has ended.

"Get ready to use Solarbeam," said May, and Venusaur brings in energy from the sun light into its flower.

"Sunny day has ended, so your move will take a while to charge up. Salamence, use fire blast," Joe said, and Salamence fires a fire blast. Heading straight towards Venusaur, and Venusaur has no chance to fire the Solarbeam. Venusaur fainted by the fiery attack from Salamence, and Venusaur's head on May's board darken. May calls back her Venusaur…

With no more Pokemon, both scoreboards change. Revealing Joe and his six Pokemon as winners, with the word winner under them in capital letters.

"Well done May, you sure gave me an interesting battle," said Joe.

"You are good, but I was close in defeating you," May said.

"Yes you have," Joe said. "For your effort, I reward you this," and an object appears in front of May. It is a diamond ribbon with Joe's emblem on it, and May looks at it in surprise.

"Thank you," said May, and took hold of the badge,

"Even thou it is a ribbon, it is useless for the contests and festivals. But since you like contests, a diamond emblem is perfect," Joe said.

He than looks at the audience, and said, "Hey Dawn, you're up next."

"Sure Joe, but I don't have six Pokemon," said Dawn, "I have five."

"Than it will be five against five," Joe said. "The battle will begin in thirty minutes, so please get ready for the battle." Joe left them, going through the curtains with six ultra balls floating behind him. Some of the Pokemon in their seats left as well, and May quickly got out of the battle area. Than came into the audience area, and spoke with her friends about the battle and the diamond ribbon. May have done little better than Misty, and they both did better than Paul, James, and Jessie. So next up is Dawn, will she manage to do better? Will she win her match?
