Rhydon's Rivalry!
"Dodge!" Ash yelled, jumping to the side. Rhydon's blind charge passed besides him, missing his starter as well. "Shadow Ball!" Ash ordered. Mystic fired off the blast, hitting Rhydon on his face.
Rhydon's face reared to the side a bit, and he blindly swung his hand down. Mystic jumped back and quickly retaliated with Quick Attack boosted Iron Tail.
She flipped and hit Rhydon on his midsection, sending him stumbling back a bit. That was proof that the training they underwent for the past couple of weeks was bearing its fruit.
Rhydon turned around suddenly, slamming his muscular tail into Mystic. The Eevee, who had just landed her Iron Tail, was unable to dodge and was sent skidding to the side.
"Swift!" Ash ordered. Mystic yipped and swung her tail, sending explosive stars flying towards Rhydon. The Rock/Ground Type raised his arm against them, blocking the star shaped projectiles.
He then slammed his tail down, sending glowing sharp rocky pillars towards Mystic. Mystic yipped and jumped to the side, dodging those as well.
Ash returned Oceanus in the meantime, wondering just how Rhydon had defeated the Seadra. He had a heavy weakness against him, and a diverse range of attacks all of which could've defeated Rhydon hard.
Maybe Rhydon had taken him by surprise? But what was Oceanus doing so far that none of them were able to sense Rhydon approaching? Though Ash had limited senses, his Pokémon were all spread around and surely would've heard him.
Mystic yipped in warning and Ash looked up. Rhydon had sent a Stone Edge his way and Ash had no mood of getting in a hospital. He side stepped hastily, barely dodging the sharp rocks.
Rhydon roared and tried to rush towards Ash but Mystic's Shadow Ball got his attention again. He decided to ignore the human and charged the pesky Evolution Pokémon first.
"Quick Attack! Slide under him!" Mystic dashed forwards, quickly covering the distance between them, and managed to squeeze between his legs. Rhydon stopped his blind charge and turned around only to get a face full of Shadow Ball.
Rhydon snarled and tensed. He jumped and landed down on the ground, shaking the floor to its very core. Ash and Mystic were taken by surprise at the sudden Earthquake and got hit pretty badly.
Mystic yipped in pain, falling down as the tremors impacted her, and Rhydon pressed on with Stone Edge. The Eevee was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying away.
Rhydon roared and huffed at Mystic's downed form. He turned to Ash who was struggling to get up and decided to finish him up as well.
'Damn.' Ash cursed. 'I should've expected that Earthquake.' Ash spotted Rhydon approaching him and spotted Mystic a few feet away. 'Where are the others?!'
Rhydon reached him by the time Ash was in a sitting position. Ash's face paled as Rhydon raised an arm above him. Ash clipped an empty pokéball on his waste and got an idea.
Ash threw the empty pokéball blindly. Due to the close proximity of Rhydon near him, his aim was pinpoint. Rhydon let out a surprised grunt as he was sucked inside the ball.
Ash got up quickly, knowing that the pokéball wouldn't be able to hold Rhydon much faster. He returned Mystic, knowing the Evolution Pokémon would be out cold for a good while, and quickly grabbed his backpack.
Rhydon burst out of his pokéball, roaring at Ash angrily. Apparently, he didn't like Ash's sneak trick. Ash had kept most of his stuff packed anyway and slung the backpack over his shoulder.
'I need to get away from him.' Ash thought, mind racing to find a way to get past Rhydon. 'Where are you guys?!' Ash thought hastily. Zeus would've blinded Rhydon with Flash and his Grass Types would've helped a lot.
Rhydon slammed his muscular tail into the ground yet again, triggering another Stone Edge. Ash quickly ran away from it, approaching Rhydon instead. Ash had another vacant pokéball in his hand.
Rhydon snarled and charged towards him as well. Ash clutched the ball tight and threw it. Rhydon raised his arm and punched the ball to the side.
Ash had seriously not expected that and Rhydon grabbed him by his shirt. Lifting the trainer up, Rhydon roared. Ash's eyes widened and his body seized up in fear. Ash struggled to escape the grip, trying to force the claw away.
'The repel!' Ash thought, getting an idea. 'I only need to reach my bag.' Ash tried to formulate a plan to do just that. Rhydon threw Ash away like a ragdoll, sending him rolling away.
Ash impacted the ground hard and rolled a bit away from the Drill Pokémon. The Palletian quickly unzipped his backpack, trying to ignore the dizzy sensation in his body, and found a repel.
Rhydon chortled at his attempts and triggered another Stone Edge. Ash stared at the incoming sharp rocks in fear. If they impacted, he would surely be torn apart.
Unfortunately, Ash was in no position to move. Fear seized his body at the prospect of dying and he sat there stunned. Suddenly, two vines wrapped around his waist, and pulled him away.
Ash let out a yelp as he was unceremoniously dragged to the side. "Huh?" Ash said and then spotted the Unovan Grass Starter in front of him. "Viper?"
The Snivy gestured him to stay back and looked at Rhydon. A green aura outlined her body as Overgrow activated. Ash shook off the paralysis caused by fear and got up. "Where are the others?"
Viper gestured him to stay down and prepared herself. Ash got up on shaky feet, used to her rudeness by now. He looked at Rhydon, the Pokémon who had nearly killed him.
Killed him? Well, deaths weren't exactly uncommon for trainers. He would be just another in the list. Ash shuddered at how nonchalant he was regarding his death.
There was a roar, and Rhydon slammed his tail into the ground. Viper and Ash tensed, expecting another Stone Edge. However, the Stone Edge went in another direction entirely.
Ash stared in surprise while Viper seemed to pale a bit. There was another roar, matching Rhydon's, and a Lairon charged Rhydon. Rhydon slammed his arm down on Lairon, matching his Iron Head.
Ash had no idea from where the Lairon had come. All he knew was that they had to get away from the two clashing Pokémon. Both were stronger than his team, especially with half his team out of commission.
Oceanus and Mystic were knocked out, and Ash wouldn't dare pit his newly captured Aron against the two giants. While the little Iron Armor Pokémon had spunk, Ash couldn't dream he'll match the two of them at his current level.
"Zeus!" Ash exclaimed once he saw his Electric Type approach them. The Electric Mouse Pokémon gave Ash a quick greeting and began to chitter something to Viper.
The Grass Type responded back. Ash wondered just what had occurred in his absence. For the Rhydon to attack them and the Lairon to fight the Rhydon instead of them, it was pretty confusing.
Zeus climbed on top of Ash's shoulder, questioning him about Mystic's whereabouts. Ash pointed to his starter's pokéball. "She's out." Zeus let out a sad cry at that. "We need to get away from them. Where is Bulbasaur?"
Viper pointed to the Lairon. "He was fighting him?" She nodded. "How the hell did you guys get in a fight with such a strong Pokémon?" Ash cursed.
Viper shrugged. "Once we find Bulbasaur, we're retreating. Okay?" The two nodded. "And Viper," The Snivy looked up. "We're having a talk after this is over." Ash told her seriously. The Grass Type stared back for a bit before nodding.
Truth be told, Ash was really tired of Viper's attitude. She was constantly rude to everyone, including even Mystic. Everyone in his team was getting a bit sick of her and Zeus had even stopped trying to talk to her.
Rhydon jumped up and landed hard, triggering another Earthquake. Viper quickly jumped in the air while Ash steadied himself, managing to ride out the attack.
Ash grunted at the feeling. His legs were surely going to be sore after this was over. "Return for now guys." Ash said. Zeus shook his head while Viper rolled his eyes. "I'll call you back out later guys. You two are tired. Don't act like I can't see your bruises."
Ash now understood part of the story. It seemed Lairon had attacked them and Viper, Zeus, and Bulbasaur had engaged them. Though Ash didn't know about Bulbasaur and was trying his best not to think the worst, Viper and Zeus had taken some serious damage.
Though the same could be said for Lairon. The constant static arcing his body signifying paralysis and whip marks showed the damage. Lairon was fighting way sloppier than Rhydon possibly due to his previous fight.
Viper turned around and her look conveyed her message. She wasn't going back to her Luxury Ball. She was very resilient. Zeus chittered his response making Ash sigh.
"Your wish guys. Your wish." Ash muttered. He looked at the ongoing battle in front of them and his eyes widened. Rhydon had just slammed a brutal Hammer Arm on top of Lairon, knocking him out.
Rhydon slammed another for good measure, and then picked the evolved form of Aron. He threw him down and triggered a Stone Edge, dealing further damage to him.
Ash's eyes widened at the back to back attacks from Rhydon, especially on a downed Pokémon, and intervened. "Viper, use Leaf Storm!" Viper reacted within a moment, sending a storm of leaves straight towards the Drill Pokémon.
Rhydon snarled, stumbling back from the super effective attack, and roared angrily. He glared at Viper and tried to find Lairon only to find a Dusk Ball.
Vipers quickly grabbed it with Vine Whip and handed, err, vined it to Ash. "Nice work Viper." Ash said, looking at the locked pokéball. He'll have to send it to Professor Oak later. He looked at Rhydon and blinked.
Rhydon was pissed.
The Drill Pokémon roared at them in anger. Even Viper seemed a bit muffled by the blind rage and looked at Zeus to find him feeling the same.
"He won't be showing any leniency now." Ash mumbled. "It will be straight goodbye now if his attacks connect." Viper gave him a look that clearly said 'Thank you for the support' and prepared herself.
"I have a plan." Ash whispered to them. "Zeus, how's your Thunderclap going?" Zeus shook his head. "We'll have to work with Flash then." He nodded. "When I signal, blind him. Viper, attack him with everything you have and try to limit his movement. We can make an escape them."
Viper and Zeus nodded. "Do you have even the smallest idea where we can find Bulbasaur?" Zeus nodded. "Good." Ash waited for the perfect moment.
Rhydon dug under the ground, deciding to strike from below. Zeus stayed on the ground, feeling the tremors left by Rhydon. It was a skill they had learned while staying in Rock Tunnel.
Since many Ground Types opted to attack from below, Ash had his team adapt to it and find a way to counter it. One method was to move from one place to another so quickly that the opponent could not land a hit.
But that method was tiring and the foe could simply bait it out. So, Ash opted for another. In this, the Pokémon felt for the Pokémon below. Small Pokémon were hard to detect and could only be felt when they were about to strike.
But for large Pokémon like Rhydon, it was easy since they left a lot of disturbance below.
Zeus gave a cry and the trio quickly split off. Rhydon burst from under them and slammed his heavy tail into Ash's side. Ash, who wasn't fast enough to create distance between him and Rhydon, was sent flying away.
Ash hit the ground with a thud and groaned in pain. He clutched his side, moaning from the intense pain. Rhydon turned his attention to Viper and tried a Hammer Arm.
Viper boosted quickly with Swords Dance and retaliated with Leaf Blade. Rhydon let out a grunt in surprise when Viper's Leaf Blade broke through his Hammer Arm, landing a clean hit.
Viper quickly back flipped, sending a Leaf Storm into him. Rhydon growled as the sharp leaves damaged him, and then stumbled back as another Leaf Blade struck him.
Zeus ran around him in circles, using Double Team to confuse him. Rhydon let out a cry and tried to trigger another Earthquake but Viper's Mega Drain hit him.
The Drill Pokémon dropped to one knee from the various damaging attacks, and glared at Viper. That was his mistake; however, as Zeus's Flash blinded him.
Rhydon roared at the tactic and tried to blindly punch Zeus. The Zeus dodged with ease and landed an Iron Tail on his back. Rhydon fell to both knees.
Viper panted from the constant use of Overgrow and let the boost dissipate. Rhydon felt the Mega Drain weaken and the Flash wear off. His tail slammed down, and another Stone Edge was triggered.
This time, however, it formed like a shield around him. Zeus jumped back, maintaining a healthy distance between them. Rhydon grabbed the Mega Drain tendrils and ripped them off him, getting up.
Zeus looked at Viper and found her panting heavily. He chittered concernedly to her but Viper gestured him to not worry and focus more on Rhydon.
Zeus unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt, blasting the Stone Edge shield away. Zeus let out a surprised cry as Rhydon was found missing. He found the ground shaking and tackled Viper to the side with him.
Rhydon jumped from the ground, almost hitting them. Viper quickly got into a fighting stance and her tail sharpened. Viper's attacks had damaged him nicely as evident from his heavy labored breathing.
Though the same could be said for them. Oceanus and Mystic were both knocked out, Bulbasaur was missing, Lairon was also out, and she herself was on the end of the rope.
Rhydon alone had managed to defeat all of their team so badly. If she didn't have such a large Type Advantage over him, the Drill Pokémon could've potentially struck her out as well.
Rhydon charged them again. Viper and Zeus jumped away, dodging his Take Down. Zeus decided to confuse him again with Double Team and Quick Attack while Viper reactivated Overgrow.
Rhydon snarled in irritation and rushed towards again. This time though, his very step caused the ground to shake. Viper steadied herself and jumped using Vine Whip, passing over his Bulldoze.
Zeus, however, was unable to dodge the attack and got hit by the brunt of it. He squealed in pain and got hit by Rhydon's muscular tail. Viper landed on the ground and immediately went on the offensive.
Rhydon raised a rocky arm against the swarm of leaves, growling at the pain. Viper lunged forwards, her Leaf Blade poised for a clean hit. Rhydon retaliated with a Hammer Arm.
As a few minutes ago, Leaf Blade won the clash. However, this time Rhydon was ready. His horn, covered and influenced with Bug Type energy, hit Viper's chest hard.
Viper let out a gasp as the Super Effective move struck, and Rhydon quickly followed up with Take Down. The Grass Type was sent flying away; crashing against a wall with so much force she broke the surface.
Rhydon roared triumphantly and then growled as Zeus's Iron Tail hit the back of his right knee, forcing him down and crippling his movement. The Drill Pokémon swung his tail at him but the Electric Mouse managed to dodge it.
Zeus gained Rhydon's notice again and unleashed another Flash. Rhydon roared at the tactic and clawed wildly, trying to strike Zeus. The Electric Type lashed back with Iron Tail, landing a lot of clean strikes and damaging Rhydon further.
Rhydon regained his vision after getting hit a dozen times and tried Hammer Arm. Zeus dodged, climbing up the arm and slamming in Rhydon's face with Take Down.
He then flipped using Iron Tail, hitting the back of his head hard and managing to get away at the same time. Zeus landed down and immediately targeted Rhydon's other knee.
Of all the counters, the Pikachu didn't expect a Protect to come up and block his Iron Tail. Rhydon, having gained enough time, turned around and blasted Zeus away with a destructive Hyper Beam.
Zeus was blasted quite a distance away, landing with smoking fur and an unmoving body. Rhydon roared triumphantly despite his injuries and looked at the trio of Pokémon.
Viper was etched into a wall, the look on her face defeated and her body limp. The trainer was on his feet, throwing a Dusk Ball-
Rhydon was sucked in the special pokéball and the pokéball dropped to the ground, shaking erratically. Ash was up, clutching his side. Ash fell to his knees, looking at the Dusk Ball.
After a few tense moments, the Dusk Ball dinged and immediately locked up. Ash smiled and then fell face forward.
The darkness seemed all too pleasing.

Viper opened her eyes, feeling like she was hit by a freight train. She tried to move her neck and found herself etched into a wall. The Snivy quickly remembered what had put her in this position and she gasped.
Her eyes scanned the entire field, trying to find Rhydon. Her eyes trailed to a Dusk Ball on the ground and she took a moment to understand.
Once she did, Viper sighed in relief. Her relief turned to panic when she saw the condition of Ash and Zeus. The Grass Snake peeled herself off the wall, falling face first into the ground.
It was when she was on her feet did the snake realize just how much her body hurt. Every move felt like a huge effort, and she wanted nothing more than to skip into unconscious again.
However, her concern for her teammates won over and she managed to reach out to Ash. The trainer was lying face first down and his shirt was soaked.
To Viper's horror, she realized the shirt was soaked in blood. Viper quickly grabbed Ash and forced him on his back. Viper tried to wake him up, tapping his face repeatedly.
When Ash didn't reply, Viper felt even more concerned. She spotted Zeus and quickly approached him. Her body screamed at the effort but Viper ignored it.
She saw Zeus lying limp and quickly grabbed him up. Viper shook him, trying to stir the mouse up, but he remained unresponsive. Viper didn't give up, thinking of a method to wake him up.
She figured Mystic would have a way to help them before remembering she was also out cold. Ash had said that much anyway. Viper sat down dejectedly, looking at Ash again before at Zeus.
'Don't leave me.' Viper thought, a growing sense of dread settling in her stomach. 'I need you. Please!' Her sense of dread increased and Viper felt something drip out of her eye.
Viper blinked as tears began to drop out of her eyes. She sat down dejectedly, staring at Zeus's form. Tears began to drop on their own, and Viper began to sob.
It felt… new. It had been a while since Viper had cried. Had she even ever cried? All her life she was stuck in the Pokémon Mill where no one was trustable. She had learned that no one cared about her emotions and did her best to hide them.
There, she learned that all men were vile, selfish damned creatures that deserved to be punished. That no man was trustworthy. The Pokémon Mill was run completely by men, after all.
And here she was, crying for two males. Why was she even crying? Why should she care that two males died? What did they even mean to her? Ash was someone who provided her shelter in exchange of her battle tactics.
Sure, he was nice to her and ignored her rudeness most of the time. But that was just his trick to get her to trust him, just to betray her like everyone else.
And Zeus was just a teammate. Someone she got along with just for the sake of it. The Grass Snake thought that in order to stay in Ash's good graces, she had to get along with everyone. She didn't even react to his tricks to get her attention. Offering an apple, trying to stay close to her etc.
It was then Viper got her answer.
"Hey. Would you like a berry?" Zeus asked Viper after her battle against Bulbasaur. The Grass Type was panting heavily. Viper looked at Zeus and took the berry after a moment of truth. Zeus smiled and walked away, leaving her alone.
Viper wondered just what was up with Zeus. He always acted so nicely to her while she ignored him or acted rudely. She actually felt a bit guilty of treating him like that.
"Hey Viper," Ash spoke up. "Come over here please." Viper, who had been trying to ignore her burns from Scald. She looked at Ash with an irritated look. Can't he just leave her alone?
Viper chose to ignore him instead, lying down. She heard a sigh and footsteps approaching her. "Stay put please." Viper let out an annoyed snarl as Ash gently lifted her and placed her in his lap.
She hissed as Ash gently applied Burn Heal on her. "Easy girl." Viper relaxed, knowing the effect of Burn Heal. Her burns began to cool down and she sighed in content. "Why are you so grumpy all the while? Chill."
Viper looked at him with one of her eyes, looking over him. Shouldn't he take his own care first and then think about him? Just yesterday he had suffered a nasty Rock Throw from a local Geodude.
"Rest easy now girl. I'll get you when I serve food, okay?"
And that was just one of the various incidents in which they had shown her kindness. The entire team, from Ash to Mystic to Bulbasaur, all had ignored her rude tone and treated her equally.
And now the entire team was on the verge of finishing and only she was here to witness it. The first and only family she was close to having and all of it was torn apart.
Viper looked down at her hands and clenched them. Despite her ability to use Overgrow, despite the hard training they did in Rock Tunnel, despite her doing everything in her power to protect everyone, Viper failed.
Gods, she hated herself. Viper's tears turned from sadness to ones of anger as she began to loathe herself. She was useless! Against Bulbasaur in their first meeting, against the poacher who almost killed them, and now against Rhydon.
One of Viper's tears landed on Zeus's face and his expression shifted a bit. Viper, who was too busy in self-loathing, didn't notice. Zeus opened his eyes and let out a pained cry.
It was after the cry did Viper notice him. She blinked and wiped her face quickly. Viper helped Zeus up, telling him to take it easy. Zeus nodded and looked at her face.
He questioned whether if she was crying to which Viper shook her head. She tried to play it off with her usual rudeness but her façade broke before it even began.
Viper pulled Zeus in a hug and began to cry. Zeus let out a surprised call at the emotion Viper was showing and hugged her back tenderly. Both of them were in pretty delicate shape at the moment.
Viper didn't stop her tears, letting her emotions show for once. Zeus smiled and let her hug him as long as she wanted. Viper admitted that she was afraid she lost them to which Zeus broke the hug.
He looked at Ash who was still unmoving and the two quickly approached him. Zeus, who was with Ash longer than Viper, quickly zipped open his backpack with his teeth and began to rummage.
Viper, feeling relieved and a bit more composed, questioned Zeus on what had occurred after she fainted. Zeus gestured her to wait and pulled out a pouch.
He opened the mouth and pulled out a berry. Throwing one to Viper, he ate one himself and pulled out a third. He asked Viper to help him open Ash's mouth and she helped.
The Snivy used Vine Whip and opened Ash's mouth gently, letting Zeus squeeze the berry above his mouth and let its juice drip into Ash's mouth.
Ash began to stir after that. Zeus and Viper pulled his backpack off him and pulled out a couple of potions. Viper wondered just why did she cry instead of working logically and think that she had lost Zeus and Ash.
To her defense, her fear for Ash was justified. He wasn't a Pokémon fit for battling. He was a human and that hit was sure to have broken a few of his ribs. She'll be surprised if they hadn't.
Zeus landed down and winced. Viper was at his side, helping him up. Zeus gave her a grateful look and handed one of the potions to her. Viper sprayed it over her, hissing at the stinging feeling.
Ash stirred as the berry worked its effect. He opened his eyes and let out a pained scream, clutching his sides. Viper put the potion down and put a hand on his face consolingly.
"Viper?" Ash whispered. "Where's Rhydon? Are you guys okay? Where's Bulbasaur?" Ash asked frantically. He then squeezed his eyes shut as his broken ribs were irritated.
Viper gestured him to stay calm and wrapped a Vine Whip around his waist. Then, with Zeus's help, she helped him up in a sitting position. Ash felt tears sting his eyes at the sensation of his ribs and bit his lower lip to the point of drawing blood.
Viper gestured him to calm down and quickly dug out some bandages and First Aid Kit. "What happened to you guys?" Ash asked, taking off his jacket with some struggle. His shirt was a problem, however, so Viper cut it off with Leaf Blade.
Her eyes turned wide at Ash's injury. Ash saw Viper's expression and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry girl, I'm fine." The Snivy didn't buy it and pulled out a disinfectant from the first aid kit.
She began to help him, ignoring her own injuries in favor of his. Ash stayed calm, doing his best to stay calm and keep Viper calm as well. "Take some cotton and…" Ash instructed Viper, keeping his tone level.
Viper worked to her best, using Vine Whip and helping Ash. After a good while, Viper finished helping Ash. "Atta girl Viper." Ash praised. "Leave the rest to me. You rest, okay?"
Viper nodded, feeling relieved and sat down. Zeus gave her a greeting and sprayed some Potion over her, handing her another Oran Berry. Viper chewed on the berry slowly, stealing a look at Ash's injuries.
He was wrapping bandages around his torso. The look on his face showed just how much pain he was feeling in. Viper sighed, trying to calm herself, and focused on the berry instead.
"Thanks guys." Ash said, easing the new shirt handed by Zeus on him. He didn't wear the jacket, however, and smiled. "So, you do care Viper?" He joked.
Viper gave him a look making him chuckle. "Did you guys get Rhydon's Pokéball?" Viper nodded and used Vine Whip to get the ball, handing it to Ash. "What about Bulbasaur?"
Viper told Ash to stay down and took Bulbasaur's pokéball. She gestured Zeus to stay with Ash and took off, feeling healed enough. She found Bulbasaur not that far away from where he had engaged Lairon and sent them for backup.
The Grass/Poison Type was out cold and Viper quickly returned him back to his pokéball. She took off back to Ash. All of Ash's Pokémon needed severe healing.
The Grass Snake wondered just what Ash would do with Aron since he had a stronger evolution of him. Contrary to what Ash believed, Lairon was actually much weaker than the monster that is Rhydon. She had noted that much when fighting it.
Ash could release Aron back out and free a Dusk Ball. Since he hadn't even interacted with the Rock/Steel Type, it wouldn't be that hard or complex.
It was Ash's decision in the end. Viper dropped the topic and reached Ash. The Kantonian had all of his team out, including Aron. She blinked when it waddled off, but not before shooting her a dirty look.
So, Ash had released him nevertheless. That meant Ash had an extra spot open. Since he had caught Lairon first, his pokéball slot would be open.
Viper reached and released Bulbasaur near Ash as well. The Kantonian was doing his best to heal up them given his current injuries. Viper decided to approach him and give him a helping hand.
"I released Aron." Ash told Viper. "Since I already have Lairon, I figured he could use his old life right now." Viper nodded. And to think of all the struggle they went through to get one. "I'll think on what to do with Lairon and Rhydon after everyone is in tip top condition."
Viper stared at Ash. He really couldn't be serious about Rhydon. That guy alone took on all of them and defeated them despite their advantage in numbers and typing.
"Don't give me that look Viper." Ash told her. "I'm not going to train him or anything." He said to relieve her. "I'll most probably trade him to someone. I don't want anything to do with someone who nearly killed all of us."
Viper patched up Mystic, the Evolution Pokémon getting up. Viper smiled at her concerned look and told her to take it slowly. Mystic gave a yip to Ash who gave her a reassuring look.
Viper quickly filled her in on the situation. Mystic asked if someone was seriously injured to which Viper told her about Ash's injury. Viper told the Evolution Pokémon to stay calm since everything was fine now.
She nodded and laid down, feeling her tiredness catch up to her. "Guys!" Ash exclaimed. Viper looked up from her position and gave him a confused look. "Charmander is hatching!"

Ending on another cliffhanger lol! How was it? Good, bad, epic? Do tell me in reviews! Until then, see you!
Response to reviews:
MaxSlayer: Nah. Cynthia will have her own personality, Paul will be Paul lol. Viper will have a conclusion in due time. Just wait. And sorry bro, but I don't have a fixed schedule. I write when I want to, and that varies a lot. I can upload two chapters in one week or no chapters in two months. Why do you think Conqueror has 14 chapters only in the spam of 1 year plus.
UltimateCCC: Character Development.
Mark Andrew: Why don't you make an account? It'll certainly take away the Guest Reviews problem. Cynthia's reaction, well, I based it on how humans around her age react when scolded by parents. I'm trying to set up a schedule but it doesn't just work. The only reason I was able to roll the previous chapter comparatively quickly is due to being at home. At least something positive is coming out of it XD. Glad to see someone's impatiently waiting for my upload. I was actually thinking no one cared about my fiction a few weeks ago. Lol.
