Chapter 36. Battle with Barry: Take three.
Alex and Aurora left the Museum still puzzled about Team Galactics intents. "I dont get it..Why would they set a fake orb?" Aurora asked. "Because it was a diversion to throw us off" Alex replied. "Indeed. it mustve taken quite some effort to set up a scheme like that without anyone realizing it." Umbreon chimed in.
They continued to walk as they passed by the gym, which of course was still closed. Aurora shivered, it was alot colder here then oreburgh. "Might I sugest we spend the night at the Pokemon center?" Umbreon asked. They nodded in agreement, it was too cold and crowded to camp out.
===========================================================.
They arrived at the Eterna Pokemon center moments later. Aurora rushed through the sliding glass doors happy to be in the warm room. "Hey Alex, Im going to go heal my pokemon okay?" She called waving her hand. Alex just gave a nod as she ran off to the counter. She waited behind the boy infront of her as the nurse handed back his pokemon. "Thanks Nurse, my pokemon needed a good rest after the Eterna gym." The nurse smiled and nodded. Happy to help as always.
Aurora on the other hand sunk into her shoulders as the blonde haired boy turned around. "Aurora? oh hey, havent seen you in a while, Get the Eterna gym badge yet? No? I got mine!" he exclaimed waving the badge in her face. "Super.." Aurora dully remarked and brushed his hand out of her face.
Barry frowned. "Aww cmon, its soo cool, Cant wait ill you get yours, of course ill be out of town by then" Aurora scowled. "Hey gotten any stronger?" he asked curiously. "Of course I have. what kind of Question is tha-" "Great! then lets have a battle!" Barry cheered. Aurora hung her head. ".H-hey wait I didnt sa-" "4 on 4 sound good?" Barry interupted counting his pokeballs. "...Fine." Aurora grunted.
===========================================================.
Both trainers stood oposite sides outside the pokemon center. Auroras legs were still cold from the wind, but she tried her best to endure it. Alex and umbreon sat on a bench nearby to watch. "Alright, Ready? cause here I go!" Barry exclaimed tossing out a pokeball. "Wormadam show em what your made of"
The bug pokemon sat in its cocoon watching from the flowers that hid it. "Looks like burmy evolved." Aurora muttered to herself. "Alright then, Luxio, your up!" Luxio bounded onto the stadium ready for battle. "Huh...so it finally evolved? About time" Barry laughed. Aurora curled a fist. "Luxio, Thunderbolt!"
Barry stopped laughing, "Wormadam protect!" Wormadam put a shield around itself as it watched the thunder bolt ricochet off of it. Aurora gasped, "Luxio! try another!" Luxio sent another attack, but it bounced off prior to the first.
"Wormadam harden!" Wormadam strengthened its defenses and stood still. "Luxio! try a Bite!" Luxio bared its fangs and bit down only to hurt its teeth as it fell back in pain.
===========================================================.
"Luxio sure is at a disadvantage here" Alex replied. "Indeed, As wormadam being of the Bug variety, most electric attacks would prove useful, but in this state.." Umbreon sighed. Alex looked back at the two trainers. "Guess shes just going to have to give it her all then."
===========================================================.
"Wormadam! stringshot!" Wormadam spit forth a silk thread that wrapped itself around Luxios leg. It slowly began to wind it round and round making it harder to move. Luxio stumbled back off and tried shaking off the silk cast "Luxio go for another bite!" "Protect wormadam!" The same reaction occured with the energy bouncing off.
That gave Aurora and idea. "Luxio keep using thunderbolt!" Barry smirked. "I dont think so, Wormadam protect!" Wormadam did nothing and was hit with the full force of the electricity. "W-wha?" Barry asked in confusion. "Protect cant be used every turn unless another move is inbetween them." Aurora laughed.
"Y-yeah..I knew that! I just forgot!" Barry retorted as he pulled another pokeball from his bag. "Alright then, Staraptor take it from here!" He threw out the ball as the large bird sat preening its wing. "A Staraptor?!" Aurora gasped. "Yep, Ive been training Staravaia extra hard, so you better watch out!" Aurora flipped out her pokedex and scanned the pokemon before her:
"STARAPTOR THE BRAVE BIRD POKEMON, STARAPTOR ARE EXCELENT HUNTERS AND CAN PURSUE THEIR PREY FOR MILES."
"Luxio, still good?" she asked. Luxio barked back and growled at the bird. "Alright thunderbolt!" "Staraptor! Extremespeed!" Staraptor zipped through all the bolts and colided head first knocking Luxio back, down and out.
===========================================================.
"This could be bad for Aurora." Alex replied. Umbreon nodded. "A staraptor is quite agile when it comes to battling for dominance." Omanyte blinked and decided to curl up and go back to sleep.
===========================================================.
Aurora took out her pokeball and tossed it to the field, "Staravia, you're up!" Staravia took to the skies and flapped above them. It stared down at the Staraptor, who inturn glared back and took to the skies as well. "Staravia Aerial ace!" "Staraptor, Counter with steel wing!" The two birds clashed against one another over and over.
"Staravia, go for a wing attack!" "Staraptor drill peck!" Staravia flew in ready top attack only to be pecked in the back as it lost altitude and fell to the ground. "Staravia!" Aurora cried. Staravia weakly got up, but fell over about a second later.
"Thats two down, and two to go!" Barry smirked.
