Evan and Jade boarded the ship quickly, well more like Jade pushed Evan onto the ship. They had to get to Pallet Town after a two-day long walk, and after visiting his mother and resting for the night, the two were ready to get to Cinnabar Island by the ship.
"I'm gonna go explore the ship!" Jade squealed and she sped away, leaving Evan standing there alone.
"Alright then, come on out and get some fresh air, everyone!" Evan threw all of his six Pokeballs onto the ground, and out came his six Pokemon. The other passengers of the ship admired them, making Evan a little proud.
"Yo Evan!" Evan then saw his all-too-familiar rival, Arthur, walking towards him.
"Nice team!" Arthur smirked. "Too bad mine's more powerful!"
"Shut up!" Evan argued.
"So you're going to Cinnabar Island too? Looks like you finally caught up with me. Six badges, right?" Arthur asked, and Evan nodded, although he was still frowning. "Let's have a battle then! I want to see how much your skills have improved... or have they deproved?" Arthur winked, getting Evan all riled up again.
"Fine! A six-on-six battle, how's that?" Evan recalled all his Pokemon except Charizard. "My first Pokemon will be Charizard!"
"Mine will be Venusaur then," Arthur smirked again, sending out his Venusaur.
"That slow thing?" Evan taunted. Venusaur gave a loud growl in response, before Charizard roared at Venusaur as if to tell it to keep quiet.
"We've been working on our speed since the S.S. Anne! Let me show you! Venusaur, Razor Leaf!" Venusaur sent a volley of razor-sharp leaves at Charizard. Seeing this, Charizard flew into the air, dodging the attack.
"Flamethrower!" Evan cried, not even bothering to taunt his rival. Charizard's Flamethrower almost hit, but Venusaur had already stomped away.
"Razor Leaf again!" Arthur shrieked.
"Heat Wave!" Both Charizard and Venusaur's attacks collided with each other, and they both clashed. However, the Heat Wave soon burnt out all of Venusaur's leaves, before burning Venusaur itself.
"Venusaur! Damn, return!" Arthur recalled his Venusaur angrily.
"Return as well, Charizard!"
"Why are you copying me?" Arthur grumbled, sending out his Farfetch'd.
"Who's copying who?" Evan countered, as he sent out his Haunter. "We can't use Ghost-type moves... Haunter, Hypnosis!"
"Haunteeerrr..." Haunter cackled as it's hypnotic waves were sent flying at Farfetch'd.
"Farfetch'd, up you go!" Arthur shouted, and Farfetch'd flew above, Hypnosis missing it.
"Now, Swords Dance!" Farfetch'd flew into the air and started spinning faster than a top.
"What are you doing?" Evan frowned as Farfetch'd landed again.
"Foresight!" Red beams shot out of Farfetch'd and covered Haunter with it's red glow, leaving Haunter and Evan surprised.
"Farfetch'd can learn Foresight?" He asked.
"Farrrrfetchh!" Farfetch'd crowed, before flying at Haunter. "Farrrr!" Farfetch'd, using it's leek, knocked Haunter to the ground with a powerful Slash attack. Haunter tried to get back up, but failed and fainted.
"Haunter!" Evan gasped.
"Swords Dance boosts the attack power of Farfetch'd!" Arthur grinned. "It's the perfect way to end a battle in my favour!"
"Oh yeah? Cut him down to size, Jolteon!" Jolteon was sent out and it gave Farfetch'd a threatening growl. "Let's see it's face after we hit it with ThunderShock!" Jolteon charged up electricity, before releasing it at once on Farfetch'd. The attack hit, as well as it being super effective. Farfetch'd was thrown onto the ground, close to fainting.
"Fury Attack!" Farfetch'd swung it's leek around wildly and hit Jolteon repeatedly with it, making bruise marks appear everywhere on Jolteon's face. "Continue!" Arthur yelled.
"Close-range ThunderShock!" Jolteon's ears perked up, and it released more electricity. Farfetch'd shrieked with pain and anger before falling down onto the ground, it's wings charred black.
"Return, Farfetch'd! Rhydon, Rock Blast!" Arthur threw out another Pokeball.
"Doooooonnnnn!" Arthur's Rhydon appeared and sent multiple rocks flying at Jolteon. Despite dodging some, Jolteon wasn't able to dodge the remaining ones and ended up getting knocked back.
"Ice Beam!" Rhydon fired a freezing beam from within it's mouth that made Jolteon faint upon impact.
"Return, Jolteon!" Sending Jolteon back into her Pokeball, Evan called out another. "Your turn, Poliwrath!"
"Poli!" Poliwrath looked up at Rhydon, who growled with pleasure at the thought of defeating another opponent.
"Interesting. You still have Charizard, Poliwrath and two other Pokemon at your disposal while I still have Venusaur, Rhydon and three more Pokemon. Heh, I always knew I was better than you! Rhydon, Ice Beam again!"
"Don't be too sure! Poliwrath, cut that Rhydon down to size with Strength!" Poliwrath dodged Ice Beam with a few quick movements, before jumping at Rhydon and unleashing it's strength by carrying the giant-sized Pokemon, and then throwing it down onto the ground like a pro wrestler.
"Horn Drill!" Arthur roared, and Rhydon's horn started spinning dangerously, before Rhydon lunged for Poliwrath, but Poliwrath was too fast. The Tadpole Pokemon continued outrunning it's foe with little effort.
"Darn! Rhydon, increase your speed!" Arthur cried.
"Donnn!" Rhydon continued thrusting it's spinning horn, but Poliwrath leaped into the skies.
"Poliwrath, Dig- I mean, Hypnosis!" Figuring digging a hole in the ship might sink it, Evan changed his commands. Poliwrath emitted it's hypnotic waves, and Rhydon could only look up, before it collapsed and started snoring.
"No!" Arthur yelled.
"Water Pulse! Water Pulse! Water Pulse!" Firing Water Pulses after Water Pulses, Poliwrath had soon knocked out the sleeping Rhydon.
"Rhydon! Urgh!" Arthur returned Rhydon to it's Pokeball. "Defeating Rhydon is no easy feat. You're really gotten stronger." A smirk found itself onto Arthur's lips. "But it won't be enough to defeat Gyarados!"
"Gyaaaraa!" Gyarados roared as it was sent out. The magnificent Pokemon glared at Poliwrath, it's Intimidate ability lowering it's attack.
"Intimidate will have no effect if I switch out my Pokemon, so... Aerodactyl, first use Agility!" Poliwrath was switched out for Aerodactyl, and the flying Pokemon started it's speed boost.
"Get real! Gyarados, Dragon Dance!" Gyarados started spinning around as it's dragon-like body swayed wildly. "Dragon Dance not only raises my Gyarados' speed, but also it's attack power! You'll never win! Gyarados, Hydro Pump!"
A powerful blast of water was shot out of Gyarados' mouth, and was heading for Aerodactyl. With Agility, Aerodactyl only just managed to dodge the strong Water-type move. After a quick celebration, Evan ordered Aerodactyl to use Supersonic, but Gyarados was just as fast, and the Supersonic missed it.
"Supersonic again!" But Gyarados dodged again, before spraying another Hydro Pump at Aerodactyl. This hit Aerodactyl hard, and knocked it off the air and onto the ground with a loud thud.
"Finish it off with Dragon Rage!" Arthur said triumphantly.
"Aerodactyl, AncientPower!" Aerodactyl just managed to fire AncientPower at the last minute. The two attacks collided with each other, and ended up with a mighty explosion that knocked Gyarados and Aerodactyl flying back.
"Now, Aerodactyl! Return! Jolteon, finish this for me! ThunderShock!" Evan yelled, releasing Jolteon, who sent a powerful ThunderShock that shocked the life out of Gyarados. Being four times effective, Gyarados gave one final roar before slamming down onto the ground, defeated.
"But... But... But how?" Arthur looked up at Evan for an explanation. He pointed at Jolteon accusingly. "That Jolteon had fainted! What did you do to it?"
"Nothing special," Evan shrugged. "Just a Revive!"
"A Revive?" Arthur frowned. Then it clicked.
"Yep! I was lucky I had just one Revive in my bag! I needed Jolteon if I was gonna take down Gyarados, don't you think?" Evan grinned. Arthur smirked.
"Just like you to resort to... underhand tactics..." Arthur scoffed, recalling Gyarados.
"It's called strategy, you punk!" Evan shrieked.
"Whatever. Go, Raichu! Quick Attack!" Arthur sent out a Raichu. This Raichu executed Quick Attack successfully, knocking Jolteon out.
"Thanks, buddy! Have a good rest!" Evan smiled, and recalled Jolteon. "But now it's Poliwrath's turn! Strength!" Poliwrath leaped out, and grabbed Raichu, preparing to throw it back onto the ground. However, it was stopped by a powerful release of a Thunderbolt by Raichu. Poliwrath was thrown to the ground, it's eyes rolled and no longer able to continue battling.
"So, my new Raichu is powerful, yes?" Arthur chuckled.
"Sure," Evan rolled his eyes. "Hitmonchan, Fire Punch!"
"Monchann!" Fire Punch burnt Raichu and at the same time, knocked Raichu back.
"Cool, so you've got a Hitmonchan. Raichu, Thunderbolt!" Arthur called.
"Raaaiii..." Raichu murmured, storing up electricity.
"Hitmonchan, Sky Uppercut!" Evan yelled. Hitmonchan charged, as Raichu began to unleash Thunderbolt.
"Chuu-" Before Raichu could though, Hitmonchan had sent it flying upwards with Sky Uppercut. Arthur gasped, as Hitmonchan jumped up as well.
"Yeah! Give it a Fire Punch again!"
"Chaan!"
"Now, Ice Punch!"
"Monchaan!"
"Finish it with a ThunderPunch!"
"Monchaaannn!"
"Raaaaiii!" Hitmonchan and Raichu landed back onto the ground. The next second, Raichu had collapsed from the combination of Hitmonchan's powerful punches. Evan shot Arthur his own smirk, which made Arthur boil inside.
"That was just a small victory! Arcanine, go!" Arthur's Pokeball smashed onto the ground, revealing a proud, majestic Arcanine in it's place.
"An Arcanine, huh?" Evan took out his PokeDex as he continued talking. "I thought it would be Fearow."
"Heh! I sent Fearow back to Professor Oak!" Arthur smirked.
"Arcanine, the Legendary Pokemon. A Pokemon described in Chinese legends, Arcanine can race at unbelievable speeds. The fire that blazes wildly within it's body is the source of it's power."
"Alright! Hitmonchan, keep going!" Hitmonchan charged, raising it's fist. "Let's go for the ThunderPunch!"
"Extremespeed!" Arcanine suddenly disappeared, before it appeared again in front of Hitmonchan and rammed into it. Hitmonchan was sent flying.
"Ember!" Arcanine's flames soon knocked Hitmonchan out of commission. The Punching Pokemon wobbled about for awhile, before collapsing. Evan pressed his teeth together and recalled Hitmonchan. This Arcanine was strong!
"Hitmonchan, return! Aerodactyl, you're next!" Evan called out his next Pokemon. He wanted to save Charizard for Arthur's Venusaur.
"Tsk. I don't think that weak thing can take anymore hits! Let's end this, Arcanine! Extremespeed!"
"Aerodactyl, Agility to dodge it!" Aerodactyl managed to fly out of the way as Arcanine attempted to tackle it like it did to Hitmonchan earlier.
"Impossible! No one's ever managed to dodge Extremespeed!" Arthur's voice was a combination of surprise and anger. "Well, then use Ember!"
"AncientPower!" AncientPower doused Ember like it was nothing, before it knocked Arcanine to the ground.
"Damn it! Ember again!" Arthur was really losing it now. Arcanine fired Ember, this time hitting Aerodactyl on it's wing. However, Aerodactyl did not give up, and it released a second AncientPower. This hit, then another.
"Faster, Arcanine!" Arthur shouted, but it was useless. Arcanine soon fell from taking too many blows.
"Well, that was fast," Evan grinned. "Good work, Aerodac-" Aerodactyl then fell onto the ground as well, as a result from exhausting itself while getting burnt. "Thanks, Aerodactyl! Now it's one-on-one," Evan smiled, recalling his Aerodactyl, and then sending out Charizard. "Come on, send out your Venusaur and let's get this going!"
"Heh! You're still the best Trainer to give me an exciting battle! Venusaur, it's the finale! Sleep Powder, now!" Venusaur sent out a sprinkle of transparent powder, but Charizard flew into the air, the powder failing to reach him.
"Flamethrower now!" Charizard roared, sending heating flames towards it's foe.
"Dodge!" Arthur yelled desperately, but Venusaur was again, too slow. Flamethrower practically burnt Venusaur, but it continued standing, not willing to give up. "That's it! Now give it your Leech Seed!" Venusaur launched a few seeds at Charizard that sank into it's legs. Suddenly, vines sprouted from the seeds and pulled it down, before sucking some of it's energy and transferring them over to Venusaur.
"Attack from where you are! Heat Wave!"
"Get out of the way!" Venusaur jumped to the side, dodging the Fire-type move, before inhaling with pleasure as Charizard's energy went to it. "Yeah! Now, Razor Leaf!" Glaring at Charizard, Venusaur then released it's leaves that cut deep into Charizard. The latter struggled wildly, but it was no use. It then gave an agonized cry as more energy was stolen from it.
"Again! Razor Leaf!" Charizard was unable to dodge thanks to the vines holding it down, and was thus hit by the Razor Leaf again. Evan gasped as his Charizard thrashed about like a maniac, determined to get out. It then roared angrily as the last of it's energy faded, before it collapsed onto the ground.
"I lost?" Evan's eyes widened.
"Good battle!" Arthur smirked, recalling Venusaur as he walked over to Evan, who was still shocked from the events. Charizard lay on the deck, weak to the extent of not having enough energy to move a muscle.
"Yeah, I get it. You're the better Trainer, but I'll win the next time," Evan looked up, his eyes full of fiery determination. "The next time we meet will be at the Indigo League, when I've earned all eight badges. I'll defeat you then!"
"That's the Evan I know!" Arthur encouraged him. Wait, was Arthur actually encouraging him? "For a good battle, you can have this TM. It contains Ice Beam," Arthur passed the blue TM over to Evan before Evan could say anything. "Tsk. Let's see who gets to Indigo Plateau first! Don't be a coward and run away if you're feeling scared, though!" Now, this sounded like the usual Arthur.
"The Ferry has docked at Cinnabar Island. The Ferry has docked at Cinnabar Island," said the captain through the speakers. "We hope you had a comfortable ride."
"I'll be looking forward to meeting you at Indigo Plateau!" Arthur yelled, and he raced down the ship before anybody could, presumably to the Gym. Staring after his rival, Evan then nodded and examined his six badges.
"Alright! Another two badges to throw in and then the Indigo League will be mine to win! Just you wait, Arthur!" Evan grinned. That earlier battle would not be their last. Far from it.
So, what do you think of this rival battle? I think it needs more improvement, tell me what you think alright! And yes, Arthur won again. Looks like he has a bit of an attitude improvement, huh? Here's a question to get your review spirit running - What do you think Evan should catch next?
P.S. I have re-uploaded this chapter with mistakes corrected. Thanks to Nikkitty101 for pointing it out.
