Johto Chapter 12: The rampaging Whitney
Two days passed since Whitney returned to Goldenrod city and the girls spent them training hard "I can't wait to battle Whitney-san" said an impatient Nyx "from what I heard, despite hers and her pokemon's appearances, they pack a lot of punch" said Xenia who gathered information "we will see soon" she said as they stopped in front of the gym "let's go" said Nyx as she was ready to enter "by the way, where is Marina?" asked Xenia, stopping Nyx momentarily "she wanted to practice for tomorrow's contest" "I see" she replied and then both entered.
The girls entered the gym where Whitney was waiting for them "welcome Nyx and Xenia-chan! I had a feeling that you would appear today and so I was waiting for you" she said in a girlish tone "then let's get started" said Nyx fired up, with Xenia putting her hand on her shoulder "wait, we have to decide who will fight her today" "you are right, ready" "set" "go". Then, much to Whitney's surprise, both girls were doing rock-paper-scissors, with Xenia making a rock to Nyx's scissors "seems I get to fight her first" said a satisfied Xenia and the leader of Whitney's fan club went to the referee's spot "due to the referee's illness, I will be a substitute. Both trainers will use three pokemon, but only the challenger may change during the battle, begin!"
"Alright clefable, go" "clefable" "oh, it's so cute, go clefairy" said Whitney as she brought out a clefairy that became amazed with clefable "see clefairy? That's how you might turn into the future" "fairy!" shouted clefairy happy "alright clefable, use psychic" "I don't think so, minimize and then dig" "what?" . Much to Xenia's surprise, clefairy became quickly tiny and clefable couldn't focus her move on it, becoming panicked to where and when it would appear "meteor mash barrage" ordered Whitney and clefairy struck clefable from behind while regaining its true size "oh no, steel moves are effective against fairies" said Xenia as clefable was getting pummeled by clefairy "agh, protect" she ordered panicked, with clefable repelling clefairy's attack. "Quick, fire punch" "I don't think so, minimize to meteor mash full power" said Whitney, with clefairy doing a backflip before shrinking "clefairy" it shouted while enlarging itself and punching clefable who managed to punch it before getting hit, with clefable fainting and clefairy standing with some burns "clefable is unable to battle, clefairy wins" "good job my sweetie" said an excited Whitney while hugging her injured clefairy.
"Return clefable, you did your best. I have to say, that's a tricky clefairy, but it's going down, come out togetic" "togetic" shouted a small angel like pokemon with numerous triangular spots, long neck and sort feet and neck "um, this is… Togetic, The Happiness Pokemon. Togetic is said to be a Pokémon that brings good fortune. When the Pokémon spots someone who is pure of heart, it is said to appear and share its happiness with that person" "wow, what a cutie! I always wanted a togepi to raise, alright clefairy, minimize to meteor mash" "fairy" it said as it shrunk "don't think that your combo will work on her, wait for it togetic" she said and togetic closed her eyes, "fairy-gh" clefairy was behind togetic but burn kicked in and togetic heard its cry "now, fairy wind around you to steel wing". Togetic then began flapping her tiny wings, releasing a pink wind that repelled clefairy who returned to its true size "now" "toge..tic" "fairy" said clefairy as it fell down "nooo, Whitney-tan's clefairy is unable to battle, togetic wins" announced the fans' leader much to their dismay.
Return clefairy, you were great. Wow, that was excellent, almost seeming like you were aiming for that burn to counter. Time to step up, come out stantler" said Whitney as she brought out a brown deer like pokemon with cream colored horns with small dot like orbs "Stantler, The Big Horn curved antlers subtly change the flow of air to create a strange space where reality is distorted" "use fairy wind" "double team to charge beam" she ordered, with stantler executing the move and unleashing a beam of electricity that did a lot of damage to togetic "great, charge beam again" ordered Whitney, but Xenia smiled "use fairy wind" she ordered and togetic was now in a clash of moves with stantler, with control shifting non-stop. "Great, use yawn too now" she ordered and togetic unleashed several clean bubbles which hit stantler and made him lose control for some seconds due to sudden drowsiness, "finish it" "togeTIC" shouted togetic as her move hit stantler full power, fainting it while crushed on the wall.
"Whitney-tan's stantler is unable to battle, togetic wins" "alright, good job Xenia, one more" shouted Nyx in encouragement, and Xenia smiled in confidence, but then she saw the referee and fan club tremble in anxiety "oh no, she will bring out that" said the fan club leader and temporary referee "her victory is assured, poor challenger" were the words whispered between the fans, much to Xenia's curiosity. "Alright miltank, come on out" "moo" shouted happily a pink cow like pokemon "Miltank, The Milk Cow Pokemon. It produces over five gallons of milk a day. The higher the quality of the pastures it lives in, the richer and tastier its milk becomes. Most people raise it for its milk, but it's quite tough and strong, so it's also well suited for battle" "seems strong" commented Nyx "well forgive me, but it doesn't look like it" "appearances can deceive you sis" replied Whitney "alright togetic, use-".
Togetic then fell down much to Xenia's shock "togetic is unable to battle so miltank wins" "I'm sorry togetic, sorry for not seeing that you were too exhausted" she said apologetic "tic..." she growled with a faint smile to reassure her before going to her pokeball "this will decide things, go granbull" "grr" growled grunbull ready for battle "this must be your ace, right?" "more or less, use focus punch" she ordered, with granbull lunging forward. "Rollout" "moo" shouted miltank as it began rolling towards granbull who then punched her, but was sent flying after a minute of struggle in the move collision "what the?" "this miltank is insane" commented a shocked Nyx "barrage it" ordered Whitney, with miltank hitting granbull continuously " try to use focus punch again full power" ordered Xenia and then, granbull managed to hit miltank with all its strength and managed to make it stop rolling while slightly bruised "that's it granbull" "grr" it growled while panting.
"Wow, not many have managed to stop miltank's rollout, but we will now end this, rollout plus gyro ball" ordered Whitney, with miltank rolling again while this time being outlined by a white trail "avoid it at all costs, try to exhaust it" ordered a panicked Xenia but to no avail, with granbull being hit by the second rollout and fainting "granbull is unable to battle, miltank wins, therefore, the winner is Whitney-tan" "yes, Whitney-tan won again" shouted the fan club excited "so this is the power of Whitney-san. I have to come up with some tricks in order to face her and that miltank" thought an alerted Nyx while seeing Xenia return granbull "that was a good battle Xenia-chan, I will wait for our rematch" said an enthusiastic Whitney "thank you, but I will win next time" claimed Xenia fired up "and soon, I will challenge and defeat you myself" said Nyx also fired up, with Whitney smiling in anticipation.
