Mystery, ?


"It's not ready for battle, Owen!" Fate yelled at the trainer who wasn't listening. Owen rolled his eyes and he withdrew the Pokemon.

"Just you wait and see. We'll crush Caleb!" Feraligatr nodded in agreement while Charizard was busy hitting on female Pokemon. Typhlosion and Noctowl were both jumping back and forth eagerly in anticipation for their battle that was in a few minutes.

"You hope," CJ interrupted from afar. Owen glared at the 12 year old with rage.

"You'll eat your words, CJ." Owen returned Typhlosion and Noctowl to their Pokeballs and walked towards the arena that his battle was at. Owen and Feraligatr dragged Charizard to the arena, which angered the powerful Kanto starter because he couldn't talk to the "ladies." Owen withdrew both Pokemon and walked through the familiar hallway and up to the elevator that propelled him to his trainer's box.

"This battle will be Owen Plateau vs. Caleb Silver! Both trainers will use 3 Pokemon, and may substitute freely! Begin!"

"Go, Noctowl!"

"Go, Crobat!" Caleb spat.

"The battle will be Noctowl vs. Crobat! Begin!"

"Noctowl, use Confusion!" Noctowl shot off a red beam from his eyes. Crobat dodged the attack and soared towards Noctowl.

"Crobat, use Aerial Ace!" Crobat smacked into Noctowl, causing the latter of the two to fall from the sky, but he quickly regained his balance. "Now use Aerial Ace again!" Crobat flew towards Noctowl again, but was quickly stopped.

"Noctowl, use Psychic!" Noctowl's eyes turned blue, and he stopped Crobat dead in its tracks. "Noctowl, throw it to the ground and then use Gust!" Noctowl hurled Crobat against the ground, and then hit it even harder with Gust. Crobat had swirls for eyes after the deadly combination.

"Crobat is unable to battle! Caleb, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Meganium, get out here!"

"The battle will be Noctowl vs. Meganium! Begin!"

"Noctowl use Gust!" Noctowl tried to hit Meganium with a powerful burst of wind, but was stopped short by his wings being caught by Meganium's Vine Whip.

"Meganium, use Solarbeam!" Meganium unleashed a righteous beam that fried Noctowl to a crisp. The owl Pokemon fell to the ground, barely able to move. "Now use Body Slam!" Meganium belly flopped on top of Noctowl, knocking out the latter of the two.

"Noctowl is unable to battle! Owen, choose your next Pokemon!"

"Go, Typhlosion!"

"Meganium, return. Go, Quagsire!"

"This battle will be Typhlosion vs. Quagsire! Begin!"

"Typhlosion, use Quick Attack!" Typhlosion tackled Quagsire in the blink of an eye, but the giant tadpole didn't seem phased by the attack.

"Quagsire, use Hydro Pump!" Quagsire fired a direct hit, and Typhlosion began to freak out when the water hit his neck where fire shot out of.

"Typhlosion, use Smokescreen!" Typhlosion released a cloud of smoke and then dove into it.

"Quagsire, use Mud Slap!" The attack didn't hit Typhlosion, in fact it wasn't even close.

"Typhlosion, use Flame Wheel!" Typhlosion crashed into Quagsire, but didn't do much damage at all.

"Finish it with Hydro Pump!" Typhlosion was knocked out by the super effective attack, and Owen was down to his final Pokemon just like that. He wanted to send out Charizard, but who knows how he would act because of his anger, and Feraligatr wouldn't be able to take down both Quagsire and Meganium.

"Typhlosion is unable to battle! Owen, choose your last Pokemon!"

"I feel like I'm going to regret this," Owen mumbled. "Come on out, Suicune!" Suicune stood in front of Owen and looked around at the crowd.

"Is this the Silver Conference?" Suicune asked.

"Yeah."

"Is that your rival?" Owen nodded again. "Let's bring him down!" Suicune roared.

"This battle will be Suicune vs. Quagsire! Begin!"

"Suicune, use Ice Beam!" Suicune shot out a powerful Ice Beam that froze Quagsire instantly.

"Quagsire, use Mud Slap!" Caleb yelled as he was on the verge of a rampage.

"Suicune, finish it with Hydro Pump!" Owen shouted to the legendary blasted Quagsire into the crowd, and as a result of that the crowd exploded with cheers.

"Quagsire is unable to battle! Caleb choose your last Pokemon!" Caleb began to scream each word that he said.

"Go, Meganium!"

"This battle will be Meganium vs. Suicune! Begin!"

"Meganium, use Razor Leaf!" Meganium fired a bunch of sharp leaves towards Suicune, who quickly jumped out of the way of the attack.

"Suicune, use Blizzard!" Suicune shot a horizontal tornado of snow towards Meganium, who was too slow to move out of the way. Meganium was hurled back by the attack, and let out a cry of pain.

"Meganium, use Solarbeam!"

"Suicune, use Hydro Pump!" BOOOOOOM! The battlefield was covered by smoke, which made it impossible for anyone to see the Pokemon.

"Meganium, use Body Slam!" Caleb screamed. Meganium hopped out of the smoke and slammed on the ground, causing a large SMACK to be heard throughout the arena. The smoke left the arena, and it could be seen that Meganium missed Suicune, and the legendary Pokemon stood right in front of Caleb.

"Extremespeed!" Owen shouted. Suicune checked Meganium into the wall behind Owen, and the grass type starter was knocked out.

"Meganium is unable to battle! Owen is the winner!" Owen ran over to Suicune and thanked the kind Pokemon for its assistance in battle and he tried to make his way out of the battlefield, but was stopped by Caleb.

"Owen, thank you. After battling you so many times, I realized I can't treat my Pokemon like tools of war, but more like friends," Caleb told Owen. Owen shook his hand and walked off of the battlefield, anticipating what tomorrow had in store for him.


Caleb has finally turned the corner, ad thanks to Suicune, Owen has made it to the top 32. With one rival down, will Owen battle the other two, or will he be defeated before he can battle both of them? Find out next chapter. Till then, I'm out.
