Chapter 52 - Heather vs. Kageon
"Kageon?" Heather said, still holding Totodile and walking over to the Pokémon trainer.
"Um, yeah?" Kageon replied, turning to the two.
"Could my Totodile battle your Chikorita?" She asked. Totodile nodded furiously.
"Sure! Just not tonight. Chikorita is worn out…" Kageon grinned. "He's a tough one. Once we rest up at the Pokémon Center we'll battle. How about right here tomorrow morning at ten?"
"Sounds great!" Heather smiled, trying to quiet her Totodile who was growling softly at Chikorita. The two stared angrily at each other. Squirming in Heather's arms, Totodile almost slipped from Heather's grasp
"Is your Pokémon alright?" Kageon tilted his head.
"Yeah, he's fine. He just really wants to battle right now!" Heather giggled nervously, trying to keep a hold of her Pokémon.
"It's getting dark," Raver said quietly. "We should find the Pokémon Center."
At the Pokémon Center, the group split up. Girls got one room, while the boys shared another. Kageon and Free caught up as much as they could, while Heather, Clover, and Trina shared stories about their travels.
"So, you've spent all of this time training your Chikorita? Are you entering the Silver Conference?" Free asked.
"I already have five badges! I'll be challenging Jasmine in awhile," Kageon explained, showcasing his gym badges. "How about you, Raver? Are you entering the Silver Conference?"
Raver nodded and smiled sheepishly. "I've got a few more badges to collect… But I'm well on my way…"
"And how many badges do you have?" Kageon asked Free.
Free grinned and pulled his shirt sleeve up, revealing six badges. "It looks like I'm upping you by one!"
"Will you all shut up? I'm trying to sleep!" Deka snapped.
The next morning Heather and Totodile headed out to the field a little earlier than the rest of her friends. She wanted to talk to him alone for a little bit before his fight.
"You want to impress Free's Chikorita, don't you?" Heather asked, holding Totodile on her lap. Totodile gently nodded and then looked away.
"Are you scared? I mean, that Chikorita is strong. It took out another grass type and a bug type, which should have had a type advantage! And water Pokémon aren't strong against grass-types…" Heather sighed. Totodile shook his head.
"Oh, I know you aren't scared. I just don't want you to get hurt!" Heather hugged her Pokémon close. Totodile blushed and shook his head.
"What are you planning…?" Heather wondered aloud.
"You're early!" A voice rang from behind a tree as Kageon stepped into the field where he had been battling the day before.
"Oh! Hi, Kageon," Heather replied. "Totodile was anxious and wanted to get out early."
"That's fine. We'll start this battle now then."
"Actually, could we wait for Free to get here?" Heather said quickly.
"Oh, alright," Kageon sighed. The two waited in silence for ten minutes until Free, Clover, Deka, Raver, and Trina all showed up.
"Okay, let's battle!" Heather said as soon as her friends all took a seat in the grass. Chikorita was nestled in Free's lap, watching the two trainers intensely.
"Chikorita, get out there!" Kageon said, throwing a Poké Ball.
"Totodile…" Heather whispered, releasing Totodile from her grip. He rushed up to meet Chikorita.
"Vine whip!" Kageon said quickly, catching Heather and Totodile by surprise.
"Bite the vines!" Heather exclaimed as Chikorita began to lift Totodile to throw him. Totodile began to gnaw on the vines, but Chikorita merely grunted and pushed through the pain. He tossed Totodile back, but Totodile caught himself in midair and landed neatly on his feet.
"Chika!" Free's Chikorita cheered. Totodile blushed and scratched his head.
"Don't get distracted, Totodile!" Heather shouted at the same time Kageon commanded another vine whip from Chikorita.
"Squeeze him!" Kageon laughed.
"No!" Heather cried. "Frost breath!"
Totodile's mouth opened wide, frosty breath spewing from his mouth. But, instead of blowing it on the vines, he crunched down hard on them.
"That's an ice fang attack…" Heather muttered happily.
"Chika!" Kageon's Chikorita cried in pain, immediately withdrawing his vines.
"Razor leaf!" Kageon instantly ordered. Chikorita released the gale of leaves he had shown Deka's Scyther once more.
"Frost breath! Blow 'em back!" Heather shouted. Totodile took a deep breath and blew at the leaves, freezing them all and reversing their direction.
Now, the razor-sharp frozen leaves launched themselves back at Kageon's Chikorita, knocking it on the ground and out. The icy leaves seemed to take on the power of an ice-type attack.
"No!" Kageon cried out, rushing to Chikorita's side.
"Chi…ka…" the Pokémon moaned as Free's Chikorita bounded over to Heather's Totodile and nuzzled against him.
"You did it, Totodile!" Heather cheered, knowing Totodile had won more than just one battle.
A/N I know that this story is only halfway done, but just so you know, we're wrapping up first drafts! Heather had been missing a laptop for the past few months and hasn't been able to write. She just received a new laptop today and is currently writing a new chapter! We are on Chapter 85, and should be done writing first drafts within the next month. We're still contemplating how Kanto will go.
