Chapter36: Preparations for the grass gym
After their help in defending the perfume shop of gym leader Erika, the cousin trio decided to spent their next day training hard ''dratini, use flamethrower on servine'' said Draco ''um'' then dratini unleashed flamethrower ''quick servine, try to dodge it and use leaf tornado'' ''serv'' servine dodged the attack and threw leaf tornado at dratini ''use twister around you and use flamethrower again'', dratini then created twister around him just in time and repelled the attack ''what?'' said Nyx in suprise as dratini used flamethrower hitting servine . Servine then who was badly damaged tried to stand up, suddenly, she began glowing ''servine...you really…?'' asked Nyx in shock and awe,when she finished transforming, she became a huge serpentine like pokemon ''Serperior, Regal Pokemon and the final form of Snivy. Serperior can stop its opponents' movements with just a glare. It takes in solar energy and boosts it internally''.
''Amazing Nyx, congratulations, you too serperior'' said Draco amazed ''thank you'' said Nyx along with serperior who bowed her head slightly as thanks ''so, should we continue girls?'' ''of course, right serperior?'' ''serperior'' serperior then bowed her head and prepared for battle ''ok dratini, flamethrower'', ''dodge it'' dratini then unleashed its move but serperior avoided it easily ''what the hell? What's with that speed?'' asked Draco who couldn't believe his eyes ''I see you learned a new move, aqua tail''. Serperior then moved fast at dratini and her tail was enveloped in water and slammed her tail on dratini who was sent back and had swirly eyes ''dratini take a good rest, you were great''said Draco to him, when he kneeled and had him in his arm, dratini was sad ''um'' he growled downed ''it's ok, it was your first battle and you did great, I'm proud of you'' dratini then cheered up and went back in his pokeball.
''Let's go to the pokemon center'' ''right, by the way where is Marina?'' asked Nyx ''she wanted to train alone, she will come later'', ''oh ok, by the way, someone was watching you Nyx'' said Draco with a teasing tone and he pointed at Gary who was on a tree and then came down with a backflip ''so fucking COOOLLL!Why are you so perfect Gary-san?'' thought Nyx who was in ecstasy ''hello Draco-kun and Nyx-chan. I have to admit that your battle was intense, both of your pokemon were amazing!'' said Gary clearly amazed ''thank you Gary-san, we still have ways to go, are you coming with us?'', ''yes, also, like I said last time, I want to study the pokemon of Erika-san so I will watch your gym battle guys''. ''You mean it? That's fantastic'' said Draco ''y...ye...yes, it will be a honour'' said Nyx trembling ''ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? HE WILL WATCH ME BATTLE? OH MY GOODNESS, I WILL FAINT!'' thought Nyx ''Nyx-chan, are you alright?'' asked Gary worried ''no, no Gary-san, I'm ok, let's go inside'' answered nervously and then they went inside.
A lot of time passed and Gary along with the both of them finished their meal ''so Gary-san, I was wondering, how was your time as a trainer? You along with Satoshi-san were some of the strongest trainers of Pallet town'' asked Draco excited ''heh, well how should I begin? I was very arrogant and sure of myself, I aimed to catch strong pokemon and didn't care to train them, and the same was for Satoshi for the training part. When I got to Johto league though, I changed, I put a lot of work in raising my pokemon, Satoshi too was different, and despite losing, to him I felt good. From that point after, I found myself desiring to be a pokemon researcher and so I followed that path, something I'm glad I did'' said Gary somewhat happy and nostalgic.
''So...Gary-san...would it be too much...asking you to have a battle for training purposes?'' asked Nyx nervously ''why not? After all, through battling I can learn more things that will help me to understand and study pokemon better, go to the arena and I will come'' said Gary ''pss, Nyx, you sure are brave, but even if you fight him, don't daydream or hold back'' said Draco whispering ''I know, anyway Gary-san, we will be outside''. After a couple of minutes, they were at the arena with Draco acting as a referee ''Gary-san, how many pokemon you will use?'' she asked him ''I thought of using three pokemon, do you agree Nyx-chan?'' ''y…yes''.
''Ok then I go first, come out electivire'' ''vireee'' said a pokemon sparkling that looked like a bigger and fatter electabuzz ''Electivire, The Thunderbolt Pokemon. It pushes the tips of its two tails against the foe, then lets loose with over 20,000 volts of power'', ''seems tough, come out nidorina'', ''use electric terrain'' ''vire'' then electivire unleashed electricity that got absorbed by the ground ''I heard it's a move that boosts electric type moves, so nidorina use shock wave'' nidorina then unleashed electricity at electivire who wasn't damaged at all and then he glowed ''thank you Nyx-chan, now electivire use fire punch'' ''vire''. Electivire then began to run faster than his stature would suggest and hit nidorina who was sent back and was damaged a lot ''but how?'', ''electivire has motor drive which boosts his speed when he is hit by attacks of his type, now electivire, thunder'', ''dodge it and use poison fang'' nidorina then tried to bite electivire ''catch her and unleash thunder'' electivire then who stepped aside to avoid the attack grabbed nidorina and used thunder fainting her.
''Nidorina is unable to battle, electivire wins'' ''electivire'' shouted electivire while hitting his chest excited ''electivire return, you were great. I have to say, your idea of using electric terrain was great, you just didn't know about his ability'', ''I'm not worthy of such praise, anyway, come out tauros'', ''moooooo'' said tauros ready for battle ''brute force vs brute force then, come out nidoking'', ''nido'' it said ready to battle. ''Tauros, use take down'' ''moo'' tauros then charged and hit nidoking pushing him back a little ''grab him and use focus punch'' nidoking then grabbed tauro's right horn and unleashed focus punch on his face, fainting him while sending him back a lot ''tauros is unable to battle, nidoking wins'', ''tauros return, you did your best'', ''return nidoking you were awesome, nidoking happens to be too strong physically, now for our last pokemon Nyx-chan''.
''He is so awesome, I know he was good but this is crazy,I fall more in love with him, agghh, I need to focus, come out serperior'' ''serperior'' said as she shook her tail menacingly ''here she is, first time I meet and battle an Unova starter, to show my gratitude I will use my strongest pokemon, come out blastoise'', ''stoise'', ''here he is, serperior use mega drain'' servine then unleashed from her dark green extensions of her neck energy tendrils that drained some of blastoise's energy, but blastoise seemed fine. ''Use leaf tornado'' ''ok blastoise, rapid spin through it'' ''stoise'' blastoise then began spinning, advancing through the tornado and hitting serperior ''what the?'' ''use hydro cannon'' blastoise then after stopped spinning unleashed a powerful stream of water from his two cannons that damaged and pushed serperior back ''use mega drain again'' ''serperior'', serperior got healed after draining blastoise again from some of his energy while managing to make him kneel.
''Blastoise, use rapid spin and then ice punch'' ''stoise'' ''try to avoid it serperior'' ordered Nyx but blastoise moved faster than she expected and after hitting serperior with rapid spin, his right hand got frozen and punched serperior, fainting her ''ser…perior'' . ''You were great serperior, take a good rest'' ''Nyx-chan, even though you lost, you showed some amazing skill and your pokemon seemed well raised'', ''thank you Gary-san, HE SAID SUCH GOOD THINGS TO ME? I WILL FAINT DAMN IT!'', ''Gary-san you were amazing, and to think you retired…'' said Draco amazed. ''Well, not completely retired but anyway, let's go inside...'' he wanted to say but then Marina appeared, visibly exhausted from training.
''Marina? What the hell happened to you?'' asked Draco shocked ''nothing…simple training…'' she replied exhausted ''seems you overdid it this time'' said Nyx concerned ''Marina-chan, you shouldn't push yourself and your pokemon very hard'' said Gary worried but somewhat strict ''I know'' she replied after catching a breath ''anyway, Marina and Draco, go inside, I want to talk with Gary-san for a bit'' she asked with determination. ''Ok then, see you at the pokemon center'' said Draco ''ok Marina'' said Nyx close to her, ''if you make a move at Gary-san, I will fucking murder you in your sleep and no one will find your body, got it?''said to her whispering with a scary tone and then went inside, to Marina's momentary dread ''Gary-san, I will need some help'', ''…I see your point, ok then, let's begin...''.
