Chapter 34 – Morals
Hey loyal readers, Insane Dominator here with good news! First of all, I finally got my EDventures in Kalos Wikia fully updated to last chapter's point. I got the kids' pages updated, and their Pokémon, so check it out. Secondly, I got the final draft of my plans for the next few chapters finished, so a majority of everything written is what I had in the final draft. It took me a couple hours to successfully finish the plans.
Let's get reading!
To Recap:
The Eds infiltrate the Poke Ball Factory after their Kanto Starters learned the three Pledge moves. The Factory was overrun by Team Flare, which the Eds had to defeat. They soon quarreled with the Kankers and the pit Mega Evolution against Mega Evolution, with the Eds coming out on top, and quickly vacating before getting into trouble. Meanwhile, Jonny watched from afar with distaste and hunger for power.
Chapter 34 – Morals
Sarah stormed out of the Coumarine City Gym, hopelessly defeated. Her Granbull barely held up against Jumpluff, and both Granbull and Remoraid didn't stand a chance against Weepinbell. She gritted her teeth as she exited the cliff entrance and headed off towards the Pokémon Center and try again.
"Those stupid weeds. The next time I fight him, I'll snip them all!" Sarah growled as she headed south. "Stupid Pokémon can't even take down even one. What bum." Sarah kept her anger fuming until she was a couple feet away from the Center's doors, which was when she noticed three figures coming her way, two riding on a pig.
"Ah, this fine air and refuge among the shores gives Rolf a fresh smell up his nostrils." The son of a shepherd said, riding in on his Gogoat.
Gogoat looked satisfied, taking in a whiff of the air. "(Route 12 and this city alike are really healthy. I never felt so refreshed.)" He said aloud.
Wilfred squealed, and everyone took notice. Everyone stopped and Nazz bent down to look over Wilfred's head. "Is there something wrong?"
Rolf hummed and put his hand under his chin. "Wilfred, is there something that you not like?" Sure enough, Rolf picked up on his pig's senses and he looked forward, seeing Sarah at the doors ahead. Though caught by surprise, this didn't change his moody expression.
"Hello? Migraine-inducing one? Is that you?" Rolf's question made Sarah from afar take full notice of everyone approaching slowly now, and she grew very uneasy and annoyed in a flash.
Sarah had hands to her hips and furrowed her brow. "Well if it isn't the tails of the journey." She mocked. "The heck took you so long to catch up? Kevin's already entering Route 13." She then turned away. "Whatever, I need to heal and kick his butt?"
Nazz and Jimmy turned towards the other as Wilfred paced slowly towards the center doors. "Is she talking about the Gym?" Jimmy only shrugged at Nazz's question.
"Care not of posterior thrashing poofy-haired one and Gogo Nazz-girl." Rolf assured, getting off Gogoat's back. "We have our own creatures and badges that must be obtained. Let us heal and best prepare for what is to come, yes?" Rolf motioned the group ahead, pulling out a Poke Ball and returned his Gogoat.
"Oh boy! I can't wait for this next Gym battle!" Jimmy said, excitement in his voice. "Especially since we found that X-Scissor TM in the bay!"
Nazz then got off Wilfred and ushered him inside. "Yeah dude. You should also see your new Chinchou too It's so cute." With that last comment, the Center's doors closed and the group eased as they were readying for dinner.
Route 15 – The Eds
Unlike the lush, green trees and fields of the Coastal part of Kalos, the Eds traveled through foliage and old leaves of the nest Route. The way the Route was set up with fallen leaves everywhere surprised them, but it was rather expected in a way.
"Oh look guys, I think we've been in Kalos for years!" Ed said. "No, wait, we've traveled into the future!"
Eddy trudged forwards, leaves crunching under his feet as he led the group into tall grass. "Don't get ahead of yourself Ed. Double D, doesn't it feel like fall to you?"
Ed looked about, rather intrigued by how the climate got worse as they went into Mountain Kalos. "I have to agree Eddy. This climate does bring back memories of fall, back when it was still school." Double D sighed, reminiscing in the god old days. "Good times, huh fellows?"
Eddy smirked. "No kidding sockhead. I remember those times we dove into old shovelchin's leaves!" Eddy laughed, slightly hysterical. "Man, sometimes I thought I was gonna bust a gut."
As they spoke, Ed snaked through the foliage and tall grass, following them around silently as Double D spoke. "Rather amusing, I admit, but Kevin's patience wore thin." He chided. Before another sentence could've become coherent, all of the Eds' Holo Casters began going off, making them stop whatever they were doing and reach for their own devices. Ed sprung from the foliage and got his out, and all three saw the same hologram of a person on a desk.
Sitting on the desk was a pink-haired woman with orange glasses. She had on a smile as her slender arms were on the counter. "We're bringing you this special bulletin." She announced, clear for all to listen. "As of this morning, around eleven, the Poke Ball Factory, located in Laverre City, had recently been attacked. The identities of those involves are currently unknown; however, eye witnesses claimed of three boys who single-handedly halted the assault, and the Company President of the Factory is currently being questioned. The identities of these three are currently unknown." She announced. "However, Poke Ball sales are not expected to be affected by this calamity."
After all of that was said, the Holo Clip stopped transmitting, and the Eds were left in a state of shock. Eddy looked baffled, Double D worried, and Ed…indifferent.
"Did you see that?" Eddy asked before getting up to their faces and towered over them as they leaned back. "We're on the news! We're hitting the big time now!" He shouted, and jumped off his pals and started jittering all about.
S to where Eddy was ecstatic, Double D was very worried. "Eddy, I fail to see how this event is uplifting." He said, starting to get nervous. "We might be convicted for crimes! We blew up an entire building top!"
Eddy turned back towards Double D, pinching his cheek. "Ah quit worrying. You're just like my mom." He let go ad Double D shook his head to relief his cheek of pain. "As long as we keep moving, we'll be fine."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves Eddy. Just because we did yet another good deed, doesn't mean we're out of the woods. I agree when we must trek onwards, but it's best to keep our profiles low until further notice."
Ed then butted in. "Do we get disguises like pumpkins?"
"Not quite Ed." Double D said. They all then stopped moving when Eddy spotted something ahead. They all were in the tall, light green grass, as Eddy encountered a new Pokémon.
They encountered a small, bipedal Pokémon. She had a rounded red and black head with a silver blade extending from the front. Her face was grey with yellow eyes. Four steel spikes protruded from her black torso, two on each side connected by steel ribs. Her red arms that ended with knife-like blades instead of hands, and her legs were red with two-toed feet.
Ed was caught being startled. "It's the Shredder from 'Attack of the Garbage Disposables'!" He exclaimed.
Eddy turned towards Ed. "Not helping Ed!" He then looked ahead and he pulled out his Pokedex.
"Pawniard, the Sharp Blade Pokémon. Blades comprise this Pokémon's entire body. If battling dulls the blades, it sharpens them on stones by the river."
Eddy narrowed his eyes, taking in and was piqued by Pawniard's design. "Sharp blades huh…" He trailed off as he was using his wits and smirked after coming to a decision. "Alright, I'll catch it!"
Double D was caught surprised. "Eddy, are you serious?!"
"Heck ya! Just look at that thing!" He pointed at Pawniard, a claw to her hip. "Those blades will make us win every battle! Punks won't even come three feet before getting a cut."
"Prepare the Band-Aids Double D." Ed said, in which Double D groaned. Though secretly, he didn't mind Eddy capturing this one. It looked to be a Steel-Type, and Steel-Types would be of some help if push came to shove.
"Very well then, please be careful and keep your distance Eddy." Double D warned.
All Eddy did was stand affirm and faced Pawniard with a confident smirk. "Okay Greninja! Let's catch this walking knife!"
Greninja appeared out of his Poke Ball, facing ahead towards Pawniard with upmost caution. "(Okay you two-footed sawblade, let's tango.)"
Pawniard turned her head away, fairly ticked. "(Hm, as long as my blades don't dent or dull, I could tango all day.)" She then turned towards Greninja and had her claws out for Slash. "(But I'm not so subtle with my dance partners.)"
With any hesitation, Pawniard dashed towards Greninja, readying Slash. Eddy called for Water Shuriken, to which Greninja compressed water and he fired the rapid fast attack at Pawniard. Pawniard slashed with haste, her Slash cutting away at Greninja's individual Water Shuriken. Seeing as how Pawniard was getting close, Greninja jerked away to avoid her vertically downward Slash, seeing foliage fumble about and get cut up.
"Use Water Pulse!" Eddy shouted, arm extended.
Greninja jumped into the air, arms centered around a blue sphere. "(Have at this!)" Greninja then fired his Water Pulse towards Pawniard, who showed no coward behavior.
Pawniard readied Metal Claw and her claws glowed silver. "(Just try and stop me!)" Pawniard lunged at the incoming attack, of which easily overpowered her own Metal Claw and she was hit, the water exploding. From the aquatic explosion, Pawniard fell straight down, hitting the ground with a thud.
Pawniard grumbled as she stood up, fairly annoyed by Greninja's attack. "(You gum-flapping jerk! I hate having rust on my blades!)" She exclaimed.
Greninja raised a grow. "(Guess someone's vanity is a bit overboard.)" He teased. Eddy then yelled for Smack Down, the sphere being launched with the same motion as Water Pulse. The attack hit Pawniard's center, and she gagged as she flew back and landed in a pile of leaves, cushioning her landing.
"Eddy, capture it and hone its skills!" Ed shouted, pointing at the very injured Pawniard.
"Tell me something I don't know Ed." Eddy then threw his Poke Ball at Pawniard, whose HP was very low. The ball rattled in the foliage for a few moments before they all heard a 'Ding!' sound, and Eddy smirked and turned towards his group. "See, nothing to it!"
"Um, Eddy?" Double D motioned.
"What?" Eddy turned back and saw that the Poke Ball from before had vanished, and he instantly got slightly paranoid. "Hey! How'd the heck did it get taken like that?!"
Double D blinked and turned towards Eddy. "Eddy, remember? You have six Pokémon already."
Eddy then realized this and snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah! That's right!"
Double D then walked ahead and turned around towards Eddy. "Given how I already swapped out Alakazam and Vivillon for Helioptile and Lapras, and how Ed swapped out his Malamar and Tyrantrum for Skuntank and Goomy before we all departed Laverre City, we'll have to swap Pokémon once we reach the next town."
Eddy rolled his eyes. "Fine." He then returned Greninja and started looking excited. "Oh, oh boy, I can't wait to try out that thing!" The Eds then ventured onwards through the Route, continuing on with battles and training through the autumn air of the Route.
Coumarine City – Nazz, Rolf, Jimmy, and Sarah
The three, or in this case four, conversed. As they did, their Pokémon did as well, though Sarah's weren't so subtle.
"(Well shoot, you guys got it easy!)" Remoraid complained. "(I envy you guys.)"
Hawlucha kept his arms crossed. "(I wouldn't say easy, but the training is very fair.)"
Pikachu looked at Hawlucha. "(Yeah, and besides, thanks to that trip to Azure Bay, not only did we gain levels, but we got a new friend. Right?)"
Pikachu turned towards the new Pokémon Jimmy had acquired in Azure Bay. He was a small, round, blue fish-like Pokémon with a pair of tiny white fins and two small blue feet. Chinchou's eyes had pupils much like a plus sign. He had two antennae that were positioned on his rear like two tails. There was a yellow teardrop-shaped orb at the end of each antenna.
Chinchou was new, and he was rather quiet, but he was compliant. He was taken out along with Furfrou in exchange for Floette and Jumpluff. Rolf had recently swapped out his Grumpig for his Miltank.
Chinchou just nodded. "(I guess. It's nice to meet you guys.)" He said, rather quietly, yet pleasantly.
"(Me too! We're gonna be great friends! I just know it!)" Sylveon cheered, to which Chinchou grinned.
Rolf drank a bottle of water while Nazz dined on her sandwich. She ate it wildly and chewed, swallowing down the last bit. Jimmy ate some food he stored up on from Shalour City, mainly eating some soup. He dined and they all watched their Pokémon eat.
"Dude, Azure Bay was totally amazing. Lots of Water-Types." Nazz restated. "I wish I caught something, but leveling up my Pokémon is just as good!"
"Rolf agrees." The son of a shepherd stated. "Our little flock has trained very hard, yes? We should best understand what this TM that is X-Scissor, and teach it to whom is available."
Nazz nodded, and then looked back at her Pokémon, all eating. She then caught Spritzee in the corner of her eye, glancing over towards Nazz school backpack.
Spritzee was caught curious all morning and day. "(That smell, it still makes me wonder.)" She said, and gently floated away and towards Nazz, looking up at her, eye-leveled.
"What is it Spritzee?" Nazz asked.
Rolf munched into his grapes, looking about and sniffing the air. He then thought of something rather peculiar. "Have you no brains? Your Spritzee must be smelling what has been lingering through the air and devouring Rolf's nose all morning."
"You mean this?" Nazz pulled out her Sachet from her bag, which gave off an aroma that piqued Spritzee greatly.
Immediately, Spritzee perked up. "(Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!)" Spritzee fluttered about, satisfaction all over her face. Nazz thought of the act kind of adorable.
"Aw, you want the Sachet to hold on to?" Nazz asked, motherly. Spritzee nodded, and Nazz handed the Sachet over. "There you go little dude."
"(Yipee!)" Spritzee cheered, the sweet aroma making her feel refreshed. "(Thank you!)" Nazz hasn't seen Spritze this satisfied in so long. Perhaps this was the first time she saw Spritzee actually looking super happy. All Nazz did was smile.
Jimmy was currently reading a book on Fairy-Types from the Pokémon Center's library section, and he was caught surprised when he found a page on Spritzee. It was an important page, and he immediately left his soup where it was and went over towards Nazz and Spritzee.
"Nazz!" Jimmy shouted.
Nazz and Rolf turned towards him. "What is it dude?" She asked.
Jimmy held out the book to her. "Look what I've read!" Jimmy showed Nazz a chapter on Spritzee, and Nazz and Spritzee alike looked at the page with keen interest, seeing all of Spritzee's stats, and they saw a section on how Spritzee evolve.
"No way!" Nazz exclaimed, holding the book close and saw the contents for Spritzee's Evolution, even Spritzee was left surprised.
Rolf was interested. "Hello?"
"In order for Spritzee to evolve, it needs to be traded while holding a Sachet." She recited. It took a few moments to understand, but Rolf stood up.
Rolf pointed upwards. "Fear not, for Rolf shall help you with this need of Evolution!" He declared. He then turned towards Spritzee. "Floating aroma one, do you accept this assistance of Rolf for Evolution?"
Spritzee was slightly concerned about herself, and how she would smell, but then again, she's stuck this long with them, having all sorts of smells envelope her. Why would this be different?
Spritzee nodded. "(Okay.)"
Rolf turned towards Nazz. "Very good. Let us begin!" He immediately returned his Miltank, much to her indifference, and held the Poke Ball out. "Now gogo Nazz-girl, the manual that I have read before this journey tells Rolf that this trade shall be enabled. Are you ready?"
"Yeah dude! Let's!" Nazz then returned Spritzee and then she held out her Poke Ball. "All set dude! Let's try it out!"
The Poke Balls then simultaneously responded to the Trade sequence, and then they floated into the air above, where they escalate as Jimmy awed at the spectacle of Pokémon Trade just like that. The Poke Balls floated up so high that they reached the ceiling, where they rotated around the other. The Poke Balls then descended, floating downwards until they stopped in the opposite palm.
Just like that, the process was complete. "I…guess that's it dude." Nazz said, the awkward tension rising after a long pause.
"Hmm. Does Spritzee not wish to undergo-!" Just as he said that, Spritzee appeared out of her Poke Ball, floating in the air and still holding onto the Sachet.
"(T-This scent…it's strange, yet…intriguing…)" Spritzee then started to glow light blue with an energy field, and everyone, including the Pokémon, watched as Spritzee evolved.
"(Frogadier sees the light of pure transformation happening before us.)" Rolf's Frogadier said.
Jimmy awed yet again as Nazz smiled greatly. "Awesome! Spritzee is finally evolving!"
Gardevoir smiled. "(Spritzee is sure to grow stronger. Let us see what she becomes.)"
"(That's so cool! Evolution is happening right in front of us!)" Jimmy's Braixen said. They all watched Spritzee lower to the ground, where she gained some height, widened out, achieved a skirt, and grew appendages.
When the light exploded, it revealed a small, bipedal, bird-like Pokémon. Her body was purple and covered by a pink fur or feather-like coat, with a black bow on her lower back. Her face resembled a masquerade mask. She had a pair of purple, ox horn-shaped ears with a yellow center. She had eyes with red sclera, black irises, red pupils, and full, black eye lashes. She also had three sharp claws on each small hand.
The evolved Fairy-Type blinked, and took in the aroma around her. She sniffed about. "(…hm. A rather…new aroma. This is something interesting.)" She said.
Nazz looked at her newly-evolved Fairy-Type, awe and shock over her face. "This is so rad guys!" Nazz exclaimed. "My Spritzee finally evolved!" She then reached into her bag and pulled out her Pokedex. "Now, let's see what we have here." The Pokedex then showed a picture of the bird-like creature in front of her and began speaking.
"Aromatisse, the Fragrance Pokémon. It devises various scents, pleasant and unpleasant, and emits scents that its enemies dislike in order to gain an edge in battle."
Nazz basked in her Aromatisse and everyone gave grins, and the Pokémon themselves were piqued at Aromatisse. Furfrou was the first to speak. He sniffed the air, and he looked back at the newly-evolved Fairy-Type. "(Oh wow, this smell is pleasant. My sinuses are feeling refreshed.)"
Pikachu sniffed the air and was al happy as well, the aroma making her feel relaxed. "(Ahhhhh.)" She sighed.
"(This smells so good, it's like therapy to our noses.)" Wormadam said.
With a satisfied Aromatisse now feeling glad she evolved, her smells became more potent in affect. She felt glad. She was returned by Nazz soon enough, and Rolf and Nazz traded back, with the Poke Balls floating up to the air and coming down in the Trainers' hands.
"Rolf is humbled by the contribution he made to the Evolution of the one who smells fresher than fresh-picked flowers." The son of a shepherd commented.
Though all good things must come to an end, unfortunately.
As Jimmy opened his mouth for a nice comment, Sarah's voice rang through the area like a church bell. "WHAT?!" Jimmy and everyone turned their heads, startled by Sarah's sudden yelling. She was currently having a conversation with her parents that Professor Sycamore warned. You couldn't hear much nor see their disappointed faces on the PC screen, but Sarah's parents were explaining details that Sarah fumed over, clearly seen by her angered eyes and clenched fists that shook violently.
"FINE! I COULDN'T CARE LESS! I'LL CATCH UP AND SHOW HIM MYSELF THAT I'M A FAR BETTER TRAINER THAN ANYONE!" She screamed. "YOU WATCH ME YOU OLD FARTS!" She then deliberately punched the PC screen, breaking it, and Nurse Joy squealed in a panic.
Many Trainers nearby looked on with shock, some scared, some angry that they couldn't switch Pokémon from their PC because of her, and many gave disapproving expressions. You could fel the unsettling atmosphere, and Sarah was right in the middle of it.
She huffed in anger and breathed heavily, and she twitched her fingers and growled above. Many vacated the area, and many stood by as Sarah fumed her way towards her Pokémon. "Come on Granbull, Remoraid, we're leaving for that dumb badge!" She shouted, returning them to their Poke Balls with no say.
"Sarah? What was that all about?" Nazz asked, slightly scared.
Sarah turned towards her, her angry expression unaverred. "None of your beeswax! Wake up!"
Nazz's Braixen stood up, as did Jimmy's Furfrou, both ready to get defensive when the situation called for it; in fact, everyone was ready as they were standing up and looking at Sarah with defensive expressions.
"Sarah, please?" Jimmy asked calmly. "Tell us?"
A sheer moment of struggle and hesitation brewed, and soon enough Sarah coughed up. "You wanna know what happened?! My parents say that I'm unqualified to be a Trainer!" She shouted. "They said that my idiot brother just got his sixth Gym Badge this morning! That's so unfair!"
The kids turned towards the other, slight shocked on their faces. "The Dodo-brained Ed-boy?" Rolf questioned.
"How did he get so far?!" Out of pure rage, Sarah grabbed a nearby stool and screamed, throwing it aside and having it hit a wall. "I can't believe this! It's all Ed's fault! I should be ahead and showing him!"
Jimmy and the others were a little scared. Sarah's behavior just peaked, she could destroy everything around her if nothing was done. Nazz, having a mother's instinct from babysitting, thought it'd be best to try and ease her discomfort, knowing it might not proof healthy.
Nazz walked close to a rampaging and huffing Sarah. She had her hands up in defense. "Look Sarah, try and chill out. Just hear us out." Nazz implored.
Sarah pointed a her. "Take a hike dollface! I'm gonna face that Gym again and win! No matter what it takes!"
Before Sarah could bolt out, Nazz grabbed her by the backpack, making Sarah jerk to the ground. This action aggravated Sarah, and she was found being held back by the backpack, flailing in place. "HEY!" She barked.
"Oh no you don't Sarah! You need a time out!" Nazz chided harshly, making Sarah jerk. She then let go of Sarah's backpack, and Sarah turned to face her. "What you need is a healthy education young lady. You're gonna watch our Gym battles before you go and get your Pokémon hurt!"
Her tone was nothing but demanding, and Sarah thought not. She couldn't take it from her parents, and she always goy what she wanted, whether she had to take it or not. Sarah huffed and crossed her arms, turning away, and then began walking out the doors. "Fine, I could use whatever I learn to beat that geezer anyway." She reasoned.
Nazz rubbed her head. "This can't end well." She gathered her Pokémon and was accompanied by Rolf and Jimmy as they exited the Pokémon Center and eventually made way towards the Coumarine Gym.
Things were settled, and Jimmy was suited to go first. Jimmy, on the battlefield in the humungous tree, was all jittery for his battle.
"The Gym battle between Jimmy of Peach Creek, and Ramos, the Coumarine City Gym Leader, will now begin." The referee shouted. "Each side will use three Pokémon, and the battle will be over when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle; furthermore, only the challenger will be allowed to substitute Pokémon at any time."
Nazz, Rolf, and Sarah all watched from the sidelines, with Wilfred snorting and sniffing the ground. Sarah had a pouty expression. Honestly, she wanted her badge that instant, but seeing as how she was inexperienced with battling (and caring for that matter), she had to examine the match. She could use the material to her advantage.
"Go, Jimmy!" Nazz cheered.
"Show the elder won what you can do boy Jimmy!" Rolf shouted. "Make his unions shrivel!"
Ramos smiled and brought a Poke Ball out. "My there young one, you got spunk. Now, let's do this! Jumpluff, come on out!"
Ramos's Jumpluff then appeared out of his Poke Ball, floating in the air above the battlefield. "(Oh what a joyful battle!)" He cheered.
Jimmy was caught surprised. "Oh! It's just like mine!" He happily said. "I should've brought mine!"
Sarah's patience ran thin. "Just throw out your Pokémon already!"
Rolf raised a brow at Sarah. "Young one, do not taunt boy Jimmy when he must face this trial alone." He stated, to which Sarah's expression grew sourer.
"Alright! Let's do this Pikachu!" Jimmy threw out a Poke Ball, revealing his Pikachu out on the battlefield.
Pikachu sparked her cheeks in readiness. "(Alright, let's get started!)"
The ref, with no delay, brought his hand down in a chop. "Let the battle begin!"
Ramos brought his scissors forwards, snipping them in the air. "Alright Jumpluff, show this whippersnapper what we got! Use Leech Seed!"
Jumpluff then twirled in the air, doing a while three-sixty spin and gained a little altitude in conjunction. He then spat out seeds that went after Pikachu. Pikachu nimbly jumped at the last second and managed to dodged the Leech Seed that spat on the ground.
Jimmy's snake tattoo on his head was showing towards Ramos as he called his attack. "Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!" He commanded.
"(Let's slow them down!)" Pikachu twisted herself in the air, her tail now facing Jumpluff as she let loose yellow energy rings that went after Jumpluff. Jumpluff was coated by the Thunder Wave successfully, paralyzing him and leaving him twitching and descending several feet.
Jumpluff was covered in yellow sparks as he felt paralyzed. "(N-no jo-oy in p-paralys-sis.)" He muttered.
"Not a bad start." Ramos admitted.
Pikachu landed on the ground, where Jimmy extended his arm out. "Use Slam and nail that Jumpluff!" Pikachu did as told and she dashed on all fours towards Jumpluff. When she got close enough, she let loose a battlecry as she leaped into the air to Jumpluff's low elevation and swung her tail around, hitting Jumpluff in the face like a bat to a baseball. Her tail whacked Jumpluff, sending him tumbling diagonally downwards into the battlefield, making dust scatter in a small area.
Piachu landed on all fours, Jimmy holding a happy fist. "Nice job Pikachu!"
"(That showed him!)" She said, being aware as Jumpluff ascended back up again. "(Sure he's stunned, but he's not down yet.)"
Jumpluff twitched as he was paralyzed still. "(I-I'll still battle with joy!)" Ramos then called for another Leech Seed attack, in which Jumpluff followed the same motions as last time, but slower. He spitted out seeds at Pikachu once more, only for history to repeat itself as she dodged, jumping and evading the Grass-Type move.
While in midair, Pikachu's cheeks sparked. Jimmy pointed at Jumpluff. "Use Thunderbolt! Now!" Jimmy's command was heard as Pikachu then sparked up in the air and let loose her Thunderbolt attack, the Electric-Type move rushing ahead and zapped Jumpluff with intensity to spare.
Jumpluff winced as the Thunderbolt ended, making him feel less HP remaining. The paralysis had no benefits as he hadn't had much energy left. Ramos took noticed and was left surprised. "My, my, such connection."
"Way to go Jimmy!" Nazz cheered.
Rolf crossed his arms. "Young Jimmy's usage of his Pikachu's moves has him winning this arduous trial of warrior torment." All Sarah did was gaze at the battle with slight interest.
Jimmy moved his hand in an arc. "Great Pikachu! Now use Slam!" Pikachu then went to use her Normal-Type move, and closed in on Jumpluff. However, the Grass and Flying-Type wasn't down yet.
Ramos snipped his scissors. "We won't be mowed down yet. Use Grass Knot!" Jumpluff then had his eyes glow light green, where the ground under Pikachu protruded vines that twirled and snared her feet, stopping her attack in midair.
"(O-Oh man, I got snared-!)" Pikachu was then slammed to the ground when the vines arced downwards, her body hitting the ground and making small amounts of dust fly.
Instantly, Jimmy got concerned. "Pikachu!" He shouted. The vines retracted back into the ground, and Pikachu slowly goy back up, shaking herself to relieve the small amount of pain.
"Now use Acrobatics!" Ramos commanded, and Jumpluff then zoomed right into Pikachu, moving in rapid succession and hitting Pikachu on the sides, making her jerk in all directions, eventually Jumpluff finished by slamming into Pikachu's front, making the Electric-Type sail back and skid to a thud.
Pikachu grunted as her HP was down to half. "(Well, that could've gone better.)" She grumbled.
Jimmy gave a small pouty face, left to ponder. "Hmmm…okay!" His confidence grew back again as he pointed forwards. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
"(Coming right up!)" Pikachu then remained still and she delivered yet another Thunderbolt attack, in which went directly at Jumpluff. Jumpluff managed to shift and dodge to his right, and went to zoom in towards Pikachu.
Ramos snipped his scissors. "Use Acrobatics!"
Jumpluff then zoomed in at a greater speed, heading towards Pikachu with great velocity. "(This shall be so joyful-!" He was stopped when he began twitching and the yellow sparks returned. He slowed down greatly and he wobbled and tilted in the air until coming to a halt, the attacked unable to be executed due to the paralysis.
"Well I'll be." Ramos muttered.
Jimmy smiled. "Oh goody! The paralysis worked, just like I hoped it would! Now let's stop that Jumpluff while we still can!" Jimmy moved his hand in an arc. "Use Electro Ball!" Pikachu sparked and she jumped into the air, her tail forming a sphere of electricity.
"(Try and dodge this!)" Pikachu spun and whipped her tail, the attack hurling at Jumpluff. Jumpluff was still unable to act and he was hit head-on with Electro Ball, the Electric-Type move engulfing the Grass and Flying-Type in a yellow explosion of sparks. The attack echoed and everyone looked on as Jumpluff plummeted from the explosion that cleared up. Jumpluff landed on his back with a soft thud, small dust scattering about. He was covered in yellow sparks, defeated.
The ref called it. "Jumpluff is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner!" He announced.
Jimmy smiled happily. "You did it, Pikachu!" He cheered.
"(Score one for us!)" The Electric-Type cheered, but not much enthusiasm due to the damage she took.
Rolf and Nazz clapped, both satisfied with Jimmy's display. "Wait to go dude!" Nazz happily cheered. "You too little dude!"
Rolf took out his Pokedex and scanned Pikachu, measuring her HP remaining. "Hmmm, the shocking one only lost half her health. Even so, boy Jimmy played this trial out very well." He commemorated.
Sarah rolled her eyes. "That was a snoozefest." She scowled. "My Granbull took that thing out regardless."
"Ah, but did your canine lose as much HP as did Pikachu?" Rolf asked.
"Shut up!" Sarah shouted, defying that it was a close call when Granbull fought. "Can't believe this. Stupid battling and everything." She just looked on as the battle progressed.
Route 15 – The Eds
Double D was in a battle against a Hex Maniac, and her Pokémon she had brought out was small and round, with a bluish-white body shaped like a wind chime. She had beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs. Her body was a horizontal amaranth-colored pattern. Underneath the body extended a long, tag-like tail that had amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth that resembled a suction cup or a sucker was connected to the top of her body.
Double D took a moment to analyze the Pokémon before him.
"Chimecho, the Wind Chime Pokémon. It uses the sucker on its head to hang from a tree or from eaves. It can produce seven different tones."
Taking a minute, Double D considered Chimecho's attributes. "If I had to guess, then I'd say that I should use a Pokémon to cover up a vast distance." Double D then pulled out a Poke Ball. "Alright, shall we proceed? Delphox, let's battle!"
Double D's Delphox then appeared out on the autumn foliage, looking calm yet eager to battle. "(I am ready, willing, and able. Let's do our best and trounce this battle!"
Eddy brought his hand down in a lazy chop. "Let the battle begin!" He shouted.
The Hex Maniac moved her hand in a slow arc. "Use Psywave!" She commanded mischievously.
"(I will use to hurt you, so you will be defeated, and experience failure, so ha!)" Chimecho said, unleashing a multicolored wave of energy at Delphox.
Double D saw the attack coming and moved his hand in an arc. "Use Light Screen and reduce to blow!" Delphox followed his orders, and he brought his stick out of his fur and the tip lit ablaze. He moved it in a circle and a rainbow-colored shield appeared in front, taking the Psywave. After the attack, Delphox didn't even budge.
"(No pain?)" Chimecho said.
Delphox kept his calm demeanor. "(Light Screen cut your assault in half, and besides, that one attack hardly siphoned a few points off of my HP to begin with.)" The Fire and Psychic-Type informed.
"Very well executed Delphox, now use Mystical Fire!" Double D exclaimed. Delphox then spun his wand around in a full circle, making a ring of fire, from which Delphox released a stream of fire through. The Fire-Type move blazed through the cool air towards Chimecho, scoring a scorching hit, the attack bursting with flame-like fireworks in Chinecho's place.
The Psychic-Type flew back from the fiery burst and was seen with burn marks, and was coated in a blue aura, signaling her Special Attack decrease.
The Hex Maniac moved her arm in another slow arc. "Use Psywave again!" She commanded. Chimecho then emanated the same attack once more, but to only have the attack be absorbed and reduced by Light Screen, with Delphox taking hardly any damage once more.
"Double D's majestical fox's force field is too strong for the balloon with a tail." Ed pointed out while Eddy continued to examine as the referee, despite knowing the results.
"Alright Delphox, execute Flamethrower!" Double D commanded. Delphox then showed his wand to Chimecho and unleashed his stream of fire directly from said wand, the forceful and hot Fire-Type move scorching with more power than Mystical Fire, and the attack shot Chimecho directly, swallowing her in an even greater explosion of fire.
"This can't be!" The Hex Maniac shouted as Chimecho plummeted straight down, landing on fallen leaves and sizzling.
Eddy raised an arm for Double D's side. "Chimecho is unable to battle, Delphox is the winner! The victory goes to Double D!" Eddy shouted.
Double D went up to Delphox with a smile. "A job well-done there. Nice execution with Flamethrower."
"(And my raise to you; for such great commanding.)" Delphox replied as Double D was given the prize money for victory.
Coumarine Gym – Nazz, Rolf, Jimmy, and Sarah
Jimmy's Braixen was sent soaring after being struck by Gogoat's Bulldoze, making the Fire-Type yelp and land on his back, dust flying with his loud thud. When the dust cleared out, it showed that Braixen had fainted, groaning in pain.
The referee raised his arm for Ramos's side. "Braixen is unable to battle, Gogoat is the winner!"
"Braixen!" Jimmy shouted in distress, seeing how his Fire-Type was defeated by Gogoat's Ground-Type move. He looked on, startled, yet he accepted Braixen's defeat much to his own chagrin. His Pikachu being defeated by Weepinbell was bad enough, in which Braixen took care of, now he was left with one to use.
Nazz clapped supportively. "That was a good try Jimmy."
"Rolf gives boy Jimmy the alphabet 'A' for effort, yes?" Rolf said, as to where Wilfred sniffed Rolf's jeans. "The two-footed furry one that can enflame had dealt some damage onto the lookalike of my Gogoat."
As Jimmy returned Braixen, Sarah gave a twisted expression. "This fight stinks!" She said angrily.
"Silence!" Rolf demanded, making Sarah grumble and cross her arms.
"This is stupid." She grumbled.
Jimmy enlarged his last Poke Ball and pointed it at Gogoat. "I am not down yet!" Jimmy shouted courageously. He then threw his Poke Ball. "Staravia, let's go!"
The Poke Ball opened, revealing his Normal and Flying-Type. Staravia spread his wings out as he was brought out. "(Let's hit them hard!)" He shouted, stoic and ready for battle upon Jimmy's command. Staravia circled about until coming to a full loop and halted and flapped in the air above the battlefield.
Ramos looked impressed. "A Flying-Type sunny? Not a bad move there." He commented, briefly seeing Staravia's Intimidate lower Gogoat's Attack prowess. He then swiped his scissors across. "Now Gogoat, use Take Down!" Gogoat then charged in to attack being engulfed in light bronze energy with a force field. The large Grass-Type charged right for Staravia.
Staravia flapped in place as he heard Jimmy's commands. "Staravia, dodge it!" Staravia then followed Jimmy's orders and ascended in a rapid motion, with Gogoat barging from below, missing his attack. Up in the air, sun shined down on Staravia's back, making him look like a shadow. "Now use Aerial Ace!"
Staravia then pointed his body downwards and became a blur. "(Deal with…this!)" Staravia rammed his fast body as he put emphasis on the last phrase. The Flying-Type move made its mark, hitting Gogoat square in the head, making a ripple in the air from the force of the attack.
Gogoat skid back several feet, damaged from the Aerial Ace. He shook his head and looked back at Staravia. "(Not bad, ya whippersnapper.)" He commended.
Ramos smiled. "Not bad. Speedy now." He then snipped his scissors. "So let's tangle it up! Grass Knot!"
Gogoat then had his eyes glow light green, in which vines arose from the ground and twirled. The vines caught Staravia off guard as the attack came from below, grabbing his talons and legs. Staravia wailed as he was then sent towards the ground, making a rather big thud.
"Now, use Take Down!" Gogoat followed Ramos's command and followed through with Take Down, the attack making way towards a grounded Staravia.
"His bird's gonna get hit at this rate." Sarah commented. "He's done for."
Rolf raised a brow and wagged a finger in front of Sarah. "Ah, ah, ah. You have much to learn, and morals to achieve." He said, and glanced back at the battlefield.
Jimmy saw Gogoat running closer, and saw Staravia starting to get up. Jimmy had to make a quick call, and new the protocol. He grinned, confidence back, and moved his arm in an arc. "Use Double Team!"
Staravia looked up and saw Gogoat incoming. He had little time, but nothing he couldn't handle. "(Got it covered!)" Staravia then flashed repeatedly, each time making multiple illusionary copies in a vast area, which made Gogoat slow down to a stop, as he turned and looked to see himself surrounded by many Staravia on the ground.
Ramos looked impressed. "Impressive."
Jimmy pointed up and then back down. "Use Wing Attack!"
All of the Staravia then spread their wings and ascended a few feet, dashing towards Gogoat with all wings glowing. All of the illusions passed through the startled Grass-Type, leaving him open when Staravia came shooting from the front, grazing his front with his Wing Attack, making Gogoat skid back even more, feeling his energy siphon off greatly.
When Gogoat grunted and looked exhausted, that was when Jimmy pointed at him. "Now! Aerial Ace!" His command shot through ears and Staravia became a big blur once more. Without even time to blink, Staravia zoomed past Gogoat in a rapid motion, positioning himself in the air behind Gogoat as the latter was engulfed in a white burst of energy and yelped loudly.
When the smoke cleared out, everyone was on edge and looked out to see that Gogoat had fainted.
The referee called it. "Gogoat is unable to battle, Staravia is the winner; therefore, the victory goes to Jimmy of Peach Creek!"
"Oh yay Staravia! We did it!" Jimmy shouted as Staravia flapped his wings and landed in front of Jimmy, looking back at his Trainer with glee and a smile as Jimmy hugged him. "We did it!"
"(Our hard work paid off.)" Staravia said. Jimmy soon pulled away, still smiling, and Staravia was still on the ground as he was then engulfed in a blue light, surprising him. He was then engulfed in an energy field.
Jimmy looked surprised. "Oh my gosh, Staravia you're evolving!"
Nazz and everyone else gathered around as Staravia's height significantly grew, his wings expanded, the tuff on his head changed, and his tail feathers altered. When the light exploded, they all saw a grayish-brown, avian Pokémon. He had small, red eyes and a thin, yellow beak with a black tip. There was a circular white patch on the forehead. Large, white markings covered his throat and chest, separated by a black ruff around the shoulders. A red-tipped, black crest extended over his head, nearly reaching the tip of his beak. He had wings, five black-tipped tail feathers, and yellow feet with black talons.
The Normal and Flying-Type looked around, seeing the shocked faces on the humans' faces. "(Well, that happened.)"
"Oh boy! You did it! Your training really made you evolve!" Jimmy jittered, petting the avian's side, to which he didn't mind.
Rolf got out his Pokedex and analyzed what Staravia evolved into.
"Staraptor, the Predator Pokémon. The muscles in its wings and legs are strong. It can easily fly while gripping a small Pokémon."
Sarah was impressed, but still didn't see the big deal. "Fine, whatever. I could still beat your bird with Granbull if I wanted to." She said. "My Granbull's Attack is high anyway."
Staraptor spread his wings to her. "(Care to learn your place?!)" He scowled, making Sarah jerk back.
Nazz turned towards Sarah. "Sarah, cool it." She said, walking up and petting Staraptor gently, calming him down somewhat. She then turned back and looked with disappointment. "Where did you get off Sarah? What happened with you? You're even worse than Kevin."
"WHAT?!" Sarah scowled. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! MY STUPID BROTHER MADE ME GO HERE!"
"Feeble-minded one!" Rolf howled. "Have you turnips for brains? It is because of your ways that Ed-boy courageously took this trial."
Sarah gritted her teeth. "Ask me if I care! Don't get in my way!" Sarah then watched Ramos give Jimmy his well-earned Plant Badge, Grass Knot TM, and prize money. After which, she put herself in font of Jimmy. "Alright old-timer, I'm going next!"
Nazz gave a scowl. "Sarah, that's very unfair you know."
Sarah turned towards Nazz. "Take a hike I said!" She then gave a meek smile towards Ramos. "Now where were we…? Huh?" She then noticed Ramos looking and was in front of Rolf.
"Hello?" Rolf asked curiously, seeing Ramos before him. Ramos smiled. "Have you a request for the son of a shepherd?"
Ramos kept his pleasant smile. "Young man, and his friend, would you be so kind as to battle with this old man after some tea and help around the garden?"
"WHAT?!" Sarah shouted, but was easily ignored by the others.
Rolf gave a modest smirk. "Rolf and Gogo Nazz-girl will be happy to accept your offer, elder one."
Nazz kept a smile. "Sure thing, some nice tea is very relaxing."
"HEY! I ASKED FOR A GYM BATTLE!" Sarah demanded.
Ramos then turned sharply towards her. "Young lady, you won't be getting one today." This news shocked Sarah to her bitter core, as she had an astonished expression plastered on her face. Ramos continued as the mood was set to a way made everyone uncomfortable.
"You don't appreciate what your Pokémon do, and on top of that, you haven't even blossomed into a Trainer like your friends over there. Whippersnapper, you need to understand that even the finest of seeds don't sprout when you make it." He lectured.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Sarah shouted.
Ramos pinned his scissors to the ground, silencing her. "As a matter of fact missy, it is fair. You need to understand how your Pokémon feel. You can't expect them to win because you tell them to, you need to nature and love them, otherwise they'll never become a true Trainer. Your ways make my plants wilt missy. Until you find a suitable garden to sprout in, think about how you'll learn."
Sarah backed away from the lecture, about how she was severely poor as a Trainer, and how Ramos basically told her she can't battle him because of her foul attitude. Finally having enough and being told by Ramos, Sarah screamed and cried as she ran off and towards the exit, running down the Gym, with everyone watching mournfully.
After a long silence, Ramos shook his head. "Honestly sunny, it breaks my heart to know that kids like her have to be dealt with the hard way."
Rolf turned towards Ramos. "Rolf must agree with you." He then looked ahead at his place. "Shall we relax and take care of our trials after some herb-like refreshments?"
Ramos nodded, with a small grin on his face. "Sure."
Everyone then followed inside, with Jimmy turning towards Staraptor, lagging behind. Staraptor could see the slight discomfort in Jimmy's eyes, seeing as how he was once friends with Sarah. "(Will you be okay.)"
Jimmy looked at the exit and stared at it, and then back at Staraptor and gently petted his head, making the large avian grin a little. "It'll be okay." Jimmy said with a grin. "I have you guys." Jimmy and Staraptor then smiled, with Staraptor soon returning to his Poke Ball for some rest. Jimmy soon joined up with the group at Ramos's domain, being given tea to relax after such a long journey and discomforting scene.

Made this chapter short and to the point, not much otherwise. Again, I'll update soon on the Wikia, but more importantly, I need to get other Pokémon to have more screen time. Luckily, I planned it out so they at least get some time when having food scenes.
At last, Sarah gets owned. I know it was a long wait, but I hope it will suffice until the next chapter. As for Jimmy's Staraptor, I hope his and Pikachu's screen time in battle satisfied you. I intended this to be a cul-de-sac kids chapter, but I also couldn't help but notice Double D's Delphox lacked screen time.
I got next chapter planned, and it will be pretty long, so be prepping yourself for some hectic showdowns and battles, as well as a few extras here and there.
Please Favorite, Follow, & Review this story and/or chapter if you guys like the battle scenes, the ever-twisting craziness, the characters developing, etc.
