Later Years Chapter 44: Crazy Burn!
Written by drake22ice
I just wanted to say that I am sorry it took so long and that I do not own pokemon in any sense of the phrase.
The pink haired pokemon coordinator, Turk, was making his way through a forest that was barely lit through all of the large and old trees to the next contest in Brizotown with two huge thoughts in his head.
"I want to show you guys off at the next contest, guys!"
He paused to see if Werfel was still getting sick, riding on top of Komodow. He laughed before his expression showed his mind shifted to the other thought- (Star and the rest of that crew!).
"We have to get to them before my father finds them-'gulp'- or me I guess!" He looked over to see Werfel had stopped and was coming from behind a tree looking relieved. Turk noticing what the little guy had just done, rolled his eyes and chuckled "You better at least have buried it."
"Heh-heh-heh-heh! " in a creepy whisper could somewhat be heard in the wind as if some one or something just wizzed past them.
They froze. Rumbling could be heard as if an earthquake was about to occur.
"Werrrrrrrrrrrr! Werrrrrrrrrf!"
Werfel growled heavily sounding like a little motorcycle reving up. It jumped to the ground, which let Komodow's tail raise high in the ready.
"Wow, What was that?" Turk yelled as he thought his eyes caught a flash of fire zoom past him.
"I know I just saw something!" He said in panic and looked to see both of his pokemon looking angered, facing in opposite directions. Their eyes kept moving like they were trying to get focused in on moving objects.
The stalking Treeko and Seedot landed on a branch above them right before another wave of rumbling came. It actually made the ground jitter as if it were afraid. Turk took a big inhale before a voice called!
"Well, what do we have here? In a superior tone. "What's your name boy-eh?" the voice said before Turk could follow to where it was coming from.
Turk's eyes met with a rustic figure of a man with red and gray hair, showing age, dressed in a ripped military uniform. He was leaning against a tree with an eerie grin.
"Why?" Turk asked - not knowing who the man was and why he had to make his presence known.
"Ha- heh- HAH! I suppose it doesn't matter anyways! I'm Razor and I like the ay your blue lizard moves. I'm thinking about adding it to my team." the odd man said taking a large lean in towards Turk with his mouth wide open.
Turk didn't realize until the man was staring him up and down that the man's eyes were fogged over- he must have been blind! Turk shuttered and took a step back as the man's arms rose with such speed.
Komodow's target and Werfel's target leaped , and all Turk could hear was a large thud and a little whine. He huffed in fear only to see his pokemon hurt and against the ground. Werfel was being held down by a crazed looking Flareon. Komodow was standing back up after getting hit by a Magcargo, which sat face to face with it. The ground started to rumble and move to show that it was falling below large boulders hooked together. Before Turk realized he was now standing on an Onyx, two feet pummeled into his chest, knocking the wind out of him. He tried to open his eyes to see where the man was, but he had already been in the air and jumped right onto this young coordinator with such force. Turk opened his eyes to the point of a large knife aiming right at his face with that crazy laughing man staring down on him.
"Bluebolt!" Star cried out to see her little guy jumping up and down with a bandage around where he got scratched. "Is he okay?" she asked Nurse Joy immediately.
Nurse Joy was showing a lot of concern for what has been going on with the attacks, but replied "He will be just fine. I do not see anything they could have done, but scratched him up a little."
"What do you think they meant talking about the blue pichu thing being accomplished, Star? How do you think they found us, too?" Connor said standing away looking around the room at all of the Vander town's people flowing in with pokemon. Connor's Spheal was being rolled around by Burwuf, Pichu, and someone's water monkey pokemon, Panpour. He noticed and smirked.
Ruken walked over to them with his Patagi leaping to get onto Tera's shoulder. "Oh, Hi, Patagi!" Tera giggled out.
"So Officer Jenny has a team following the attackers, trying to see where they went. It does not seem like they will be after us again, today. " Ruken stated looking at the trainers who were looking shaken. "I know what we could all use. " He looked to every one in the Pokemon center. He talked to someone on his phone before calling out "EVERY ONE, I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL TAKING CARE OF OUR POKEMON FRIENDS, SO THIS OFFER WILL STAND ALL DAY, TODAY. I HAVE MY CHEFS AT THE GYM PREPARING WONDERFUL FOODS,SO PLEASE STOP BY TO ALLOW YOURSELVES TO CELEBRATE OUR TEAMWORK SHOWN, TODAY, ALONG WITH OUR POKEMON." "Thank yous" could be heard from all around the room. Tera, Star, and Connor stood up with Ruken. "Shall we go then, trainers? After our meal, we can get onto our gym battle."
Star got excited, but Tera seemed to give a confused face. "Did he say battle, not battles?" Tera whispered to Star before seeing Hank still sitting. "Why don't you come see a real battle?" she said while shooting a cocky smirk.
"Don't you know how to fight, boy-eh? No wonder your pokemon weren't fast enough! Ha, well, I bet your one of those little trainers that makes their pokemon do all of the work." The man must have seen a look in Turk's eyes. "HA! I - knew it!" he said.
Turk saw the Flareon walking away from Werfel. "Werfel, RollOut- (Slam)" he let out before a foot almost crushed his nose.
"Ah ah ah! Nope!" The man said barely glancing down towards Turk as if he could see him. "You see-?" he paused. He knodded his head towards Werfel who saw the blow his friend took and was growling at the Flareon to let it through. "Rocky, take care of that one."
Turk had to see what he meant. Komodow had gotten away from Magcargo and was about ten feet behind the man. He looked back to the man wondering how he could know being blind before looking back to Komodow, who must have sensed his concern and jumped sideways allowing the Onyx to just bump the man. "Komodow, ShadowBlade his Rocky and BubbleBeam following! He yelled quickly before the stumbling man turned back in surprize.
"He he, it's getting interesting, now. Your catching on to how my team and I connect. We have battled together so long, we know what each other is going to do next. Hmmf." he said looking down. "I used to train with Ruken from Vander city when we lived in Brizotown. My friend, the instrucor taught us well, but I had different views and left, while that snooty little Ruken got to become a Gym Leader." he started to spill his history before noticing Rocky was getting hit. "Firetop, help Rocky!" he said as the snale pokemon jumped to hit Komodow. As it was mid air firing up its mouth, the man gasped "What the-" and roots shot up from the ground trapping the Magcargo as it got pummeled with a Magical Leaf attack.
Turk looked up "Where did those two come from?"
After eating their delicious meal in a large hall, Hank got up to leave before Ruken grabbed his arm. "I think it will do you well to see how this battle plays out for our rematch. Don't you think?" he said with a smirk and glance towards Tera.
Star looked to Ruken. "Ruken? You said battle before, but Tera and I both would like to battle you." she said before wincing at the elbow Tera gave her.
"I know. I had talked with gym leader Friz and heard all about how you two battling him at the same time and was intrigued at the idea. " he said before glancing over to Hank. "How about this? My gym requires a two on two pokemon battle. I have a good collection of pokemon friends, which I actually have two of the same. They are always training together and are at the same level of battling skills. If you two work together to battle one pokemon and then have two separate battles against the twins, it will be just as fair as other battles." he suggested as Hank gave an interested look.
Star and Tera looked at each said in unison "Let's go!" with excited faces.
The group followed Ruken down a set of stairs that went down a low lit tunnel. Since the whole town was under ground, this did not seem unusual. Bluebolt was shaking inside Star's shirt. Star did look to see Patagi still resting on Tera's shoulder. "Ruken, how does Patagi battle without space to fly?" she asked him who was walking in front. Tera looked concerned to Patagi, knowing she might have to battle it.
Ruken laughed, "You'll see!" as they walked into an open crator filled with rocks that made its walls reach up to where they could see sky. "This hole can be seen above ground just before reaching Vander city Forrest. My pokemon and I have helped develop it into a wonderful spot for gym battles." he stated before looking back to all of their faces in awe, except for Hank. "It is believed that it was created by that large meteorite rock in the middle. It has strange effects on pokemon." he said as he ran over to one side of the battlefield drawn out by white lines. He released a pokemon.
Connor looking at the pokemon "What?" He gasped "I had only heard rumors."
A Seedot and Treecko were shooting towards a Magcargo that had been knocked out while suspended by roots from the Seedot's Nature Power attack. The Flareon looked and got enraged with fire that scorched Werfel enough to knock him away and into a tree. The Flareon shot a large FireBlast attack at the two. They pushed off of each other like a combination move to dodge it, but the Seedot did slightly get hit by the attack. Flareon went in and grabbed Treecko by the tail slamming it into the ground.
"There he goes again!" the crazy man chuckled as he looked to Rocky who had gotten away from Komodow. The large Onyx started to rotate its boulders at a fast pace that slammed into the ground making it rumble. "That there is RumbleRock. It lowers accuracy and paralyzes its foes as you can tell by the way your four little guys cannot move." Flareon leaped into the air with a crazed look into its face. It started to shoot a Flamethrower attack while spiraling downward. It started to head towards Turk's team and the two pokemon helping them out. Razor didn't sense Turk getting closer right away. He caught Turk's left hook with his hand. But missed the knee to the groin. The man tumbled over.
Turk noticed the Seedot not able to stop roling from the paralyzing RumbleRock attack. "Komodow, BubbleBeam! Werfel, stationary RollOut! Treecko, MagicalLeaf! Straigt up!" he yelled out. The rumbling hindered it, but the combined grass and water attack stopped the attack from hitting the targets and Flareon landed right into the Werfel's Rollout attack, knocking the Flareon into a tree. Komodow saw Onyx raging towards Turk and water started swirling around its tail. It bolted towards the rock pokemon and slammed its tail down, which sent the water attack, AquaTail, in high effect on Rocky. Connor looked at the scene with three pokemon of the crazy old blind man down and the blind man not seeming to be able to move. "Let's go! Komodow! Werfel!" he looked to the pair of grass pokemon while he and his group panted, "You two coming?"
So a new Gym Battle finally awaits us with a new pokemon and possible evolution. Also, Turk seems to befriending a strong duo. What awaits us next in "Cave Diving Badge"
I will try to update weekly or at least once a month.
