Chapter 36

"Let's get this show on the road!" Drake yelled as he came back from helping Butterfree and Montana to the stands. Montana decided to leave Butterfree out, so she could watch Scyther battle.

"I'll begin with Nidoking," Azul said as he walked back over to his trainer's box.

"Well then I'll begin with…" Drake trailed off as a red beam released Scyther from his waste. "You want to battle?" Drake asked the Mantis Pokemon. Scyther nodded his head, glancing over at Butterfree. "Oh, I get it."

"Nidoking start with Earth Power to end this early!" Azul yelled. Nidoking raised his arms, making the ground beneath Scyther explode. Scyther used his superior speed to use the explosion as a trampoline, jumping behind Nidoking.

"Now, use Slash!" Drake yelled. Scyther's scythes glowed with power, swinging at the Drill Pokemon. Scyther mad contact, but Nidoking didn't move an inch. Scyther, however, kept on trying, but to no avail.

"Use Poison Jab!" Nidoking's fist radiated a purple aura, signifying that it had the power to poison a target. Nidoking swung the hammer like fist at Scyther, only making him use his speed to duck and use a final Slash on the belly of Nidoking.

"Your Nidoking may be powerful, but it is very slow," Drake said, making Azul mad.

"Let's not start picking on each other," Azul said calmly. Scyther was now back in front of Drake, breathing hard but not near being out. Nidoking didn't look like he was even hit.

"Scyther, use Razor Wind," Drake ordered. Scyther flew up in the air, wings radiated with power.

"Nidoking, time for Thunder!" Azul yelled, getting the upper hand.

"Oh crap, he knows Thunder. Scyther is in deep trouble," Drake said in his mind. Nidoking let go of an impressive electric blast, knocking down Scyther. Scyther's Razor wind was interrupted, forcing all the stored power to explode as the Thunder hit. Scyther fell to the ground hard, and struggling to get up.

"Scyther, you have to keep going. I need you. Battle your hardest for Butterfree," Drake begged the Mantis Pokemon. Scyther looked up with a deep glare, signaling he wasn't giving up. He stood straight up, beginning to glow. Everyone was in shock as Scyther began to evolve. His body turned to steel, making him defensive powerhouse as well as an offensive. Scyther, now Scizor, looked up. His body was now red steel, wings covered in it. His scythes were more like claws now and looked super powerful.

"Scizor!" Drake exclaimed," but how?" Scizor looked at him, ready to battle. Since evolving, he had increased in strength.

"Well, I have only seen this a handful of times. This evolution is very rare, but not unheard of. Scizor usually evolves by trading, but in this case it was friendship or love. It takes an immense amount of friendship or love to activate the Metal Coat to merge with the body. Well done," Azul complimented coolly. "Nidoking, let's use Horn Drill to take away their confidence!" Nidoking charged the newly evolved Scizor with his horn spinning powerfully.

Scizor smiled as he created dozens of illusions of himself, confusing Nidoking. Drake's Pokedex beeped, showing him that Scizor learned Double Team. Nidoking stopped attacking, trying to find the right Scizor. Scizor took this time to charge in with another new move. His claws hardened into harder metal, a sliver color. He repeatedly hit Nidoking over and over.

"Nidoking, use Blizzard!" Azul ordered.

Drake's Pokedex beeped again as he saw Scizor learned two new moves: Metal Claw and Iron Defense. "Scizor get outta there!" Scizor stopped attacking as Nidoking unleashed the freezing Blizzard attack, making everyone in the stands shiver. "Now use Iron Defense to protect yourself!" Scizor's body glistened as he hardened his body.

"Try another Razor Wind, but stay on the ground," Drake ordered.

"Wrong move, he cannot attack while using Razor Wind, or even move," Azul lectured. "Nidoking, show them a lesson with Flamethrower!" As Scizor was powering up, Nidoking charged, releasing a stream of flames. The flames knocked Scizor to the ground, Nidoking looking over him.

"Finish with Rock Smash!" Nidoking punched the downed Scizor with a glowing fist. Scizor rolled in front of Drake. He knelt down to see if his Pokemon was okay, but he was down for the count. Drake recalled him and said, "I'm so proud of you." Nidoking was breathing hard, very hard.

"This is the first battle that I can see Nidoking is actually tired. That Scizor of yours is very special," Azul complimented.

"Go Gyarados!" Drake yelled, letting lose of her Pokeball. She appeared on the field, roaring loudly. She was ready to battle, ready to prove herself. She wasn't going to lose.

"Bad choice, Nidoking use Thunder," Azul said. Nidoking released another powerful blast of electricity at Gyarados.

"Let's try a Twister!" Gyarados let loose of a powerful tornado from her mouth, controlling it like she has been using it for years. The Twister and Thunder collided, pushing each other back and forth. "Now, push a Water Pulse through!" Gyarados released a orb of water through the middle of the Twister, pushing against the Thunder as well.

"Nidoking, try a Blizzard," Azul ordered. Nidoking ceased the Thunder, only letting go of a powerful blast of freezing air towards the attacks. The Blizzard froze the attacks in mid air, spreading towards Gyarados. She felt threatened by the attack, so she acted on her own. Her tail glowed a bright blue, using the same power as an ocean wave being carried by a hurricane's wind. She swung her tail like a hammer, breaking off the freezing attacks and carrying them towards Nidoking. The power of all the attacks collided with Nidoking, making him roll in the dirt after a powerful blast.

"Congrats, she just earned Aqua Tail," Azul said, distracting Drake so that Nidoking would have time to get up.

"Thanks," Drake said, not wanting to attack while Nidoking was down. Once Nidoking was up, he stared at Gyarados. She reminded him of his friend Gyarados.

"Nidoking, use Venoshock!"

"Venoshock?" Drake asked. Nidoking spat out a weird looking acid high into the air landing all over Gyarados, causing her to look around confused. The acid began to shock her intensely. The shock had a purple color, poisoning Gyarados. Gyarados shrieked in pain as she fell to the ground.

"No, Gyarados!" Drake said, watching his Pokemon fall at the hands of Nidoking. "Why did she faint so quick?"

"Venoshock is a move that doubles when it poisons the target. It's already powerful anyways, and my Nidoking is trained to poison with every hit; so it was a one hit K-O. It also didn't help that your Gyarados used most of her energy when she used all her moves in one attack," Azul explained. Drake looked down, ashamed that he didn't know that. He recalled Gyarados, choosing a new Pokemon.

"Go Kangaskhan!" Drake yelled. Kangaskhan appeared on the field, letting her baby out of her pouch. The baby ran to Montana, sitting in her lap. "Hurry and use Mega Punch!" Kangaskhan's fist radiated with power as she ran towards her target.

"Counter with Poison Jab!" Nidoking lunged at the attacking Kangaskhan, ready to go blow for blow. The two Pokemon hit each, neither one moving. Their fists were connected with each other's faces, but neither one was giving up. The Poison Jab's poison leaked onto Kangaskhan, poisoning her.

"Time to knock him off his feet," Drake said to himself. "Time to use Hyper Beam!" Kangaskhan swiftly turned her head, releasing a powerful beam of energy. The beam smashed into Nidoking's face, sending him flying. He landed with a loud crash, knocking him out.

"Nice move," Azul complimented as he recalled Nidoking. He threw out another Pokeball, revealing a Venusaur with wrinkles and age spots all over her body. "My Cherry is the oldest, but don't underestimate her." Cherry roared with power, staring at Kangaskhan. Drake could tell the Venusaur was a female because of the seed on her flower.

"Kangaskhan, start with Double Hit!" Drake ordered. Kangaskhan charged the old Seed Pokemon with rage.

"Knock it back with Vine Whip," Azul ordered. Cherry released ten vines, swinging them all at once to send Kangaskhan into the dirt. She stood up, thinking of ways to get close, because that is all she had.

"Kangaskhan, use Rock Tomb!" Drake yelled, also trying to come up with a strategy. Kangaskhan raised her arm, lifting up boulders from the surrounding area. She swung her arms in Cherry's direction, basically throwing the boulders at her. She shuddered from the poisoning.

"Not so fast! Cherry, use Razor Leaf!" Azul yelled. Cherry raised her leaves up, releasing tons of dozens of sharp spinning leaves into the air. They sliced through the hard boulders easily, then heading for Kangaskhan. She was amazed by the power, but that amazement faded away as she was cut and attacked by the leaves.

Kangaskhan was fighting off the leaves as Cherry charged forward. She wasn't all that fast, her kind usually lost their speed as they evolved and aged. "Now, use Sleep Powder!" Azul yelled. Cherry let go of a sleeping powder from her flower, forcing Kangaskhan into a deep sleep.

"Kangaskhan, you have to get up!" Drake begged.

"Cherry, use Frenzy Plant now," Azul ordered. Cherry backed up, giving the attack room to grow. She revealed her vines again, this time digging them into the ground. Within seconds they resurfaced, only this time they were full grown with sharp thorns, and were now ten times more dangerous. The vines tortured the sleeping Kangaskhan, throwing her up in the air, lashing at her, and smashing her into the hard, unforgiving ground.

"Return!" Drake yelled, recalling Kangaskhan. The vines returned to Cherry, ending the powerful attack. "Time for you," he said, releasing Dodrio. The three headed bird Pokemon squawked, showing his power. Cherry smiled at her opponent.

"Cherry, use Petal Dance," Azul ordered. Cherry's leaves raised once more, only releasing petals and flowers in a whirlwind. Cherry fired the Petal Dance at Dodrio.

"Use your speed, Petal Dance won't miss!" Drake yelled. Dodrio ran at Cherry, dodging the Petal Dance, making it redirect. Dodrio stopped in front of Cherry, letting the Petal Dance get closer.

"Fire a Poison Powder!" Cherry quickly released a purple powder from her flower, floating above the two Pokemon. As the Petal Dance got closer Dodrio ran around Cherry, using his speed to dodge the Petal Dance again. The Petal Dance whirled in the air, combining with the Poison Powder. Dodrio made a quick move over Cherry, but this time the Petal Dance hit Cherry, poisoning her as well.

"Yeah! Good job!" Drake cheered. Cherry was already tired; her old age was getting to her. "Now, use Aerial Ace!" Drake ordered, using the momentum to get ahead. Dodrio took a running start, beaks out and ready to hit. She hit Cherry multiple times, but Cherry used a strong whip to knock him back. Dodrio rolled on the ground near Drake, getting back up in a hurry.

"Cherry, use Stun Spore!" Azul yelled, not wanting Cherry to lose. Cherry's flower shook hard, releasing more Stun Spore than Drake has ever seen. Dodrio couldn't go anywhere, the Stun Spore was everywhere.

"Now Solarbeam," ordered Azul ferociously. Cherry's seed on her flower glowed bright as it absorbed sunlight. She took her stance to fire, firing the Solarbeam at the stuck Dodrio. Dodrio was struck, and blown back from the hit. He tried to fight against it, but he used a lot of energy. He fainted after the Solarbeam diminished and Cherry stood tall, but panting very hard.

"Are you good to battle Cherry?" Azul asked as Drake sent out another Pokemon.

"Primeape, you're up!" Drake yelled. Primeape came out of his ball kicking and punching the air. Cherry stared Primeape down, determined not to fall to the Pig Monkey Pokemon.

"Cherry start with Leaf Storm," Azul ordered. "I'll have to go all out powerhouse right now. Cherry is tired, but I know if I stick with power moves that we can knock out Primeape," Azul thought to himself. Cherry roared with might, releasing leaves, and gathering leaves off of trees sending them towards Primeape.

"Primeape, your quick so dodge!" Drake ordered. Primeape judged where the Leaf Storm was going, rolling out of the way. "Good job, now use Karate Chop!" Primeape leapt at Cherry, chopping her with his powerful fists.

"Get him off with Razor Leaf!"

"Fend them off with Karate Chop and Low Kick!" Primeape backed off a few yards, waiting for the old Cherry to release he leaves. As soon as she did, Primeape started kicking and chopping them away.

"Now, Solarbeam!" Azul ordered quickly. He had Primeape right where he wanted him. Cherry fire another powerful Solarbeam, crashing into Primeape, but to everyone's surprise Primeape was pushing against the Solarbeam. Azul was amazed by the strength, as was Drake. Primeape, nevertheless, gave in and tumbled backwards. He got up with an angry look in his eyes. His ability, Anger Point, was activated.

"Ah, I see that he has the Anger Point ability. It is a very strong ability, but very risky. Primeape's don't have high defense, so the chances of one surviving a critical hit, as yours just did, are very rare," Azul stated.

"Well, you haven't met my Primeape!" Drake yelled, furious of the man's comment. No one tells him that his Pokemon are inferior. "Seismic Toss, and throw her hard!" Primeape charged Cherry, pumped up to attack.

"Vine Whip to throw his off!" Azul ordered quickly. Primeape got an idea. He grabbed two of the vines, pulling the Seed Pokemon towards him. He quickly grabbed her from the bottom, lifting her high. He used his powerful legs to toss her across the field. She landed hard, being knocked out in the process.

"No!" Azul yelled. He ran to her side, recalling her after whispering words of encouragement. "That was a great move," he complimented. Primeape was now breathing hard, barely able to stand.

"Raichu time to end this," Azul said, throwing a Pokeball onto the field. A Pokemon that looked like a large Pikachu with darker fur came out of Pokeball, sparking electricity out of his cheeks. Drake could tell Raichu was very strong. He just gave off an intimidating aura from him.

"Primeape, use Rage and Karate Chop!" Drake yelled. Primeape increased his attacks once more, and then ran at his opponent.

"Thunder go," Azul ordered. Raichu smirked, making Primeape even more furious. He let go of a Thunder attack so powerful that it cannot be described in words. The Thunder crashed into Primeape, knocking him out and throwing him off the field.

"Primeape, are you okay?" Drake asked, worried about his Pokemon. He recalled his Pokemon. He grabbed another Pokeball, his last one. He whispered something into the ball as he threw it. His new Electabuzz popped out of the ball, yelling, "Elec!"

Raichu, once again, smirked because he knew he was superior. Electabuzz's horns send out an electrical current in between them, showing he wasn't afraid. "It's our first battle together, so let's show what we got!" Drake yelled, encouraging his Pokemon.

"Raichu, use Earthquake," Azul ordered. Raichu's tail started to glow, using Iron Tail.

"Well, I see that even a champion can have disobedient Pokemon," Drake laughed.

"Not so fast." Azul smiled. Raichu jumped in the air, slamming his tail onto the ground. The force from the Iron Tail created ruptures in the ground, just as an Earthquake would. Electabuzz was knocked back by the powerful combo.

"Try a Light Screen and then get close with a Low Kick!" Drake yelled. Electabuzz created a strong screen in front of him, blocking all special attacks. Electabuzz darted at Raichu, ready to attack.

"Raichu, try a Mega Punch and Mega Kick combo," Azul ordered. Raichu stood still, waiting for his target to get close.

"Stop and use Swift!" Electabuzz stopped moving, releasing a lot of little stars.

"End this with Volt Tackle!" Raichu ran at Electabuzz, going through the Swift like it was nothing. He charged electricity, making a cloak around him. He collided with Electabuzz, creating an explosion. The smoke cleared, leaving Electabuzz knocked out and Raichu standing over him.

"Good job, buddy," Drake said, accepting defeat. He and Azul shook hands, as did Montana and Tony.

"Y'all all did rather well," Azul complimented. They all went back to the Pokemon Center. While all their Pokemon were healing they grabbed some lunch.

"Hello, would you like the daily special," said the waitress.

"Yes, we all would," Azul said.

"Speaking of the day, what day is it," Drake asked. Being on a journey made time fly by, he needed to get a hair cut, it was rather long.

"It is October 11th," the waitress answered. Drake's jaw dropped in surprise.

"What's wrong," Tessa asked quietly.

"Tomorrow is my 14th birthday," Drake answered. They all congratulated him, after eating.

"So, where are you headed," Tony asked Azul.

"I'm going to challenge the Elite 4, if I can find them," Azul answered.

"What do you mean," asked Drake, wondering about the Elite 4.

"Well, they all have their places of battle. Lorelei is on one of the Sevii Islands. Bruno is on Mt. Moon. Koga, the newest Elite 4 and replacement of Agatha, has a dojo in the Viridian Forest. Lance is the only one that remained at the League," explained Azul.

"Well good luck," Montana said as the man and group parted ways.

The group walked on Route 8, looking around for wild Pokemon. They were ecstatic to be on the road again, especially after being in a boring town like Lavender. Drake left Charmeleon at the Lavender Pokemon Center, and he would be transferred over at a moments notice. His Charmeleon was now going to have a permanent 'x' on his stomach.

They stopped to camp for the night, since they spent half the day battling. The sun was setting, so they all set off to do their chores. Drake cooked, Montana set up the tents, Tony looked for water, berries, and fire wood, and Tessa helped wash clothes at the nearest water source, which was a stream near by.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Drake, Montana, and Tony heard as they finished setting up camp.

"That sounded like Tessa," Drake said, running off into the forest where the scream came from, followed by Tony and Montana.

A/N- Thanks for reading. Next chapter we will find out what Tessa yelled about, and the group will reach Celadon. I'm debating on having a one-on-one battle tourney for grass types only. I really want feedback on this. I want to know if it will be boring or what else you think. Thanks. :) Also, I have an OC form on my profile, so if you want to submit one for a random battle or a "Orb Holder" or whatever just PM or review:)
