I Don't Own Pokemon


"Start setting up with Agility, if it gets close or attacks knock the attacks back with Gust" His response was a chirp, which was basically the human equivalent of a grunt, to let me know he understood as my bird took off into the air. My bird didn't get much time to speed up though as my opponent called out.

"Golduck! Like Water Gun it to the ground" While Pidgey was able to blow away most of the attack some still connected. If I couldn't stall for more speed then I would have to be more offensive then, to make it be the one reacting.

"Pidgey, force it to dodge with some Air Cutters" The duck seemed to have Swift Swim if it's sudden burst of speed when it touched the water was anything to go by. And with that speed boost the Air Cutters didn't have a chance to connect.

"Pidgey, you're not going to hit it with a pin point attack. So boost your speed some more and get in close and hit it with a gust, then fallow with a Quick Attack"

A sad point of note was that while batting with Pidgey I had to be a hit more direct, which meant I couldn't call out orders as fast as I could for the others. It wasn't a big hindrance but it was something I had to be constantly aware of. Still the extra words paid off as Pidgey swooped down and used gust to push the water away and managed to get a get in.

"Golduck, like, don't let it get away!" I watched as the bare start of an Ice Beam formed in the duck's beck before shouting to Pidgey.

"Pidgey, fly fast upwards out of it's line of sight" Lucky, the few Abilities he had manged to stack up let him just stake by the Ice Beam, I'll have to work on his dodging later as it seems he is to based on being to fast to hit. Still, ignoring those thoughts for later, I called out to Pidgey once again before Golduck could get another order.

"Air Slash, then barrage it with Air Cutters" The first attack landed with a solid connect, but the damn duck was fast enough to avoid most of the Air Cutters, a few still hit but nothing more than a few passing blows. Thankfully, the damn was stacking up some as the duck seemed to begin to be panting.

"Golduck, like hit it back with a Water Pulse, then knock it out with a Confusion" I instantly called out right after.

"Destroy that attack with a Gust, then get out of it's range" Only the first part was able to be carried through as the Confusion still struck Pidgey. I grimaced as I watched my bird slowly fall to the ground and was sorely tempted to send out Luxio and crush their team.

At least that was what I was thinking before a familiar light shown outward from Pidgey. I wondered if during my Gym battle another one of my Pokemon were going to evolve. They would probably get their hands on the stones required some how. Still I couldn't keep my grin off my face as my Pidgeotto looked at his wings in confusion.

"You evolved Pidgey. You're now a Pidgeotto" He seemed to perk up at that in sudden understanding. I just smirked over toward the three Gym Leader's standing on their side of the filed before calling out.

"Pidgeotto, use Twister" I couldn't wait to see how much stronger he gotten with his evolution. It was then that I noticed that Pidgeotto didn't seem to understand who I was talking to.

"That's you now, remember you just evolved, that means you go by Pidgeotto now" He just looked even more confused but after a moment nodded before turning back to the battle. And still didn't do anything, I really tried to be annoyed but I couldn't help but have a fond smile on my face as I told him once again.

"Twister, Pidgeotto, remember?" He seemed to understand that after a second, he ducked his head some embarrassed, but nonetheless took to the sky. This time, unlike all of our practices the move went off easily and had power to spare. As the Twister slammed into the pool throwing water everywhere while also grabbing Golduck and throwing it into the sky.

"Pidgeotto, Quick Attack, then get some distance and start hitting it with Air Cutters" It seemed I overestimated Golduck's remaining strength as it had fainted before it fell back into the pool. Or maybe Pigdeotto just got that much stronger, I was hoping it was the latter.

Watching as they returned their duck another one of the sisters stepped forward. After a second she threw out a pokeball releasing a Poliwarth. Part fighting, I could see why they seemed hesitate, still as the match was called to start I knew that I should end this quickly. Even with the evolution Pidgeotto still has been throwing out attack after attack.

"Pidgeotto, Air Slash"

"Poliwarth, Water Pulse" The two attacks connected against each other, with neither going past the other until they both detonated. I did my best to not close my eyes from the smoke that was some how produced from a blade of wind and a circle of water. Still I didn't wait for my eyes to adjust and trusted that Pidgeotto could see his target with his ability.

"Now start using Air Cutters and Air Slashes, from the smoke, so it can't see where you are" I just had to wait a moment before dozens of wind projectiles were launched from the still present smoke screen. Watching as a solid dozen or so attacks hit I grinned as I watched it get tossed into the water, only to come up a few moments later unconscious.

I didn't really get to see it with Luxio until after his battle because Onix was already such an insane tank to damage even without the type advantage. But the increase in power evolution gave, to a Pokemon, was something I didn't expect to be so incredibility dramatic, as Pidgeotto came out from the smoke not looking to terribly winded from the rapid fire attacks.

Not to say he wasn't tire but he was far from being out. Still that didn't stop me from calling him over while the last sister stepped up with her pokeball in hand. As Pidgeotto drifted down in front of me I said.

"I know you can still continue but I want to give Eevee a chance to fight here, ok?" He seemed a little disapointed.

"But I wanted to do a full Gym by myself like Luxio did, I even evolved and everything" I gave him a smile before telling him.

"Luxio had to beat two Pokemon to win us the battle, You just beat the same amount of Pokemon, we just haven't won let, but we're about to. I know you want to do this by yourself and we both know you can, so why not let Eevee have a turn" He pouted but nodded after a moment. Giving him another smile I said.

"Still before I want you to know before I return you for your rest, I really want you to know I'm super proud of you and I'll see you after we've won this" And with that I returned my bird. Looking down at the pokeball for a second before placing back on my belt I also grabbed Eevee's pokeball at the same time.

Looking over at the three sisters to let them know I was down talking the two of us tossed our pokeballs into the air and looked on at our new opponents. I could feel the irony as I watched as a vaporeon was released in front of Eevee. I was also painfully aware of the Waterstone I had in my bag. Still I ignored that and waited for the match to begin, and when it did I didn't waste anytime.

"Eevee, launch a bunch of Swifts at it" I knew she wouldn't be able to find the vaporeon once it was in the water, a side benefit from that particular line of eeveelution was it disappears in water, thankfully I had an auto tracking move to deal with that.

"Vaporeon, in the water quickly, then use Surf!" That wasn't good. I got some preemptive vengeance as the Swifts made contact as an explosion went off underwater. But that didn't exactly help stop the massive wave that was heading towards Eevee.

"Eevee, Detect and Endure to minimize the damage, then continue to use Swift" I didn't like relying on only a single move. The fight with Brock was bad enough, but until I could get that Vaporeon out of the water then unless I got lucky Eevee wouldn't be able to hit it. It was annoying but their wasn't much else I could do.

But watch as Eevee braced herself as the wave crashed down upon her. Luckily the Detect meant she had stayed on the platform. If she didn't, then this battle would become much more difficult. As the constant stream of Swifts went off I noted that I could almost see where the Vaporeon was as they tried to out run the attacks.

I noticed that the Leader was about to call something out but I beat her to it.

"Eevee follow the trail of stars and use Iron Tail right in front of it" It was risky simply put if she missed most of those swift attacks would hit her. But I trusted my Pokemon to time it out right, and she did as her tail pinned something we couldn't see to the bottom of the pool as dozens of star shaped attacks connected all at once.

Needless to say it fainted while I recalled Eevee before releasing her next to me so she wouldn't have to swim over to me. Once she appeared I didn't care that she was still wet, I bent down, picked up her up, hugged, and praised her for a good minute before letting her out of my grip, letting her sit on my shoulder as I got off the ramp that was floating on the water back to dry land.

All three sisters seemed to be annoyed that their plan on crushing me in battle for being annoying back fired. Still they walked over and grabbed a badge and was about to give it to me, at least until one of them looked at a clock.

"Oh no, like, we're suppose to be on stage in five minutes!" And that lead to a panic for all three of them. As they turned to run out of the room to speed change one of them seemed to understand that I didn't get my badge let and wanted to be spiteful saying.

"You'll have to wait until after the show is over to get your badge. I hope you weren't in a rush to go anywhere" I just gave their retreating backsides a small glare but I didn't care enough to hold it instead I just sighed before releasing Pidgeotto out so I could have a nice talk to congratulate my Pokemon while I waited for their idiotic show to end.

After a big helping of saying I was proud I returned Pidgeotto as he seemed to be more tired now that the adrenaline from the fight was wearing down. He also seemed a little sad now that he couldn't sit on my head without causing what would probably be spinal damage.

But that wasn't the only reason, the other was because I wanted to have a talk to Eevee. From my position on the floor I reached into my bag and grabbed the stone but didn't take it out yet.

"Hey Eevee, what did you think of that Vaporeon?" I wasn't being overly subtle in my asking but I couldn't be if I wanted to get a proper answer out of the quiet Pokemon that didn't involve a shrug or a half committed answer.

"I'm not really sure, Sir. It was interesting to see an possible evolution of mine, but besides that nothing I can really add on to that" I just nodded before relaxing my grip on the stone. If she didn't want to evolve I wouldn't spring it on her, but that didn't mean I was letting go of the subject just let.

"So what kind of eeveelution do you think you'd like to evolve into?" She just shrugged but after a minute, she answered.

"I'm not sure, all of them are interesting, but I think I'd like to evolved from one of the stone evolution, I think I would be a good Flareon, or Vaporeon, or really anything you'd think is best, Sir" Oh, it seems like my idea has some merit. But I don't like that she seems to think I'll make the choice for her.

"You didn't mention Jolteon? I guess you'd think Luxio has that covered" She just nodded, with that she seemed to want to fall into some quiet time but I brought up one more thing just to let her know.

"Well whenever you want to evolve just tell me. It wouldn't be to hard to get a Firestone and I already have a Waterstone on hand if you ever want to use that instead. It's all up to you on what you become, if you want to evolve at all that is"

She seemed interested that I had one of her possible evolution stones on hand but didn't seem to pay it that much more mind than a passing interest. Though she did nuzzle into my chest some more when I told her that she was the one that got to pick what she would become if she wanted to at all that is.

Still, we just sat an a simi-comfortable floor just have some infrequent small talk, whenever she seemed to want to talk about something while we waited.


And with that the second Gym has been defeated even if the badge hasn't been given just yet. I really liked the end of this chapter a lot. The me in this story isn't a complete life like version of the one writing this story. Their are a few changes like how he is much much more emotional capable around Pokemon rather than humans but that's most because I only know how I react around people not Pokemon and becuase of something else but that'll come up later still considering that I have yet to find an animal I dislike I think the personality is pretty close. I'm not sure why I decided to put this here rather than any of the other chapters where it would have fit better but whatever. See ya
