I Don't Own Pokemon


I was in the waiting booth sitting on a bench, waiting for my name to be called after arriving at the rock field. From what I was told when I arrived is that I'm on the red side this time, instead of the green side. I had already decided on who I was going to use, and all I had to do was just stand here until the doors open up for me to walk onto the field, which hasn't happened yet, but I could here muffled sounds of the announcer so I think it'll start soon.

I was proven correct as the big metal doors in front of me raised up, pouring light into the slightly dim lit room, which I actually preferred to the sudden light show. Still, I just began to walk forwards. Stepping out into the open air, I kept my frown off my face as I listened to all the screaming, why can't people be quiet. Ignoring that for the time being, I began to make my way forwards towards my stand, when the announcer called out.

"And this young trainer here is from the far off region of Unova, this will be his first League so let's all show Kyu some love! All right folks?!"

I kept my face blank as the shouting seemed to spike, like making more noise would make me appreciate this place anymore. As I stepped onto my stand, I looked across the rock field which had a good dozen or so pillars of rock coming from the ground. The trainer that was at the opposite side was also looking around, but his eyes seemed to be also focusing on me as well.

"Now then! Let's get this show on the road! Will each trainer please release your first Pokemon!"

I waited a moment, after hearing that, before reaching downwards towards the last slot on my sash. Grabbing it from my belt, I tapped the central button before tossing it into the air. The other trainer did the same, as both balls launched into the air before releasing both Pokemon inside. I focused on the opponents Pokemon first instead of looking in on Lycanroc, as I already knew he was fine.

The Pokemon was surprisingly enough a ivysaur, as I looked upwards a little bit as the trainer who I remember had a weird name but not much else besides that, looked at Lycanroc in a lot of confusion. Actually I think most people were looking at Lycanroc in confusion. After about a full minute later, the announcer finally called out.

"Well well, Slueni has sent out a ivysaur, while Kyu has gone for something a little bit more rare for this region, a Lycanroc normally found in the Alola region, while curious as how he's gotten such a Pokemon here, this isn't the time for those question! No this is the time for a battle! So battle begin!"

"Lycanroc Stone Edge" I wasn't going to wait around, if these competitor could match up to get eight gym badges then I wasn't going to treat them as annoyances, I was going to attack hard and fast. Which is why in under a second of the battle starting a massive wave of spikes jutted out of the earth going straight at the ivysuar, slamming into the Pokemon and sending it into the air, were I called out once more.

"Now Stealth Rock, then get in close with Dual Chop" Lycanroc slammed his paws into the ground, causing a rippling effect, before beginning his sprint towards the Grass type as his paws light up with Dragon type energy. Though it seems that the other trainer finally caught up that the battle started as he called out.

"Ivysuar blast it away with Leaf Storm!" Interesting an egg move, I called out right afterwards as leafs seemed to start appearing and picking up speed in a tornado like pattern.

"Block it with Rock Slide, get in close then continue with Dual Chop" Lycanroc jumped backwards and while still in the air a wave of leafs charged towards him, as the air around his back seemed to ripple before a wave of rocks shot out from behind him slamming into the leafs. As Lycanroc's feet touched the ground he charged forwards underneath the cover of the rocks and leafs still colliding in the air above him to get close and started striking at the invysuar with his Dual Chop. It wasn't long after that, when the Pokemon fainted as the announcer called out.

"What an incredible display of power this lycanroc has at their disposal, not to mention the calmness in which Kyu is facing this! Will Slueni's next Pokemon be able to tie this up?"

At this point I just tuned the announcer out as I watched Slueni as he looked at Lycanroc for a moment, probably trying to guess his type, which shouldn't be to difficult considering the name Lycanroc should have gave it away if not for the moves. Still after a moment, he reached down and grabbed his next Pokemon and sent them out, this time it was a Arbok. This time as the battle be began, he didn't seem to want to wait any as he called out.

"Arbok underground now!" And the snake tried but before they could follow out the order, the ground around the Pokemon erupted as Stealth Rock took its effect as the attack slammed into the arbok I called out right afterwards.

"Earth Power Lycanroc" I got a nod as he brought his right arm up before slamming his paw into the ground, as the field seemed to shake for a second, then the ground underneath the arbok exploded upwards, sending the Pokemon into the air. So I called out right afterwards.

"Send it down with Dual Chop" I might be using it a lot, but Lycanroc was very good at using it, and it was a very nice attack that didn't have many common resistances to the damage, being a Dragon typed move. So as Lycanroc scaled on of the rock pillars and jumped up into the air and slammed his glowing paws into the side of the still in air arbok, I already knew it would be unconscious before it hit the ground, and I was right.

Watching as Slueni returned his Pokemon, I waited a moment to judge Lycanroc's current condition, while also ignoring the announcer. He seemed perfectly fine, and he was in fact, because he hadn't taken a hit yet. But he has been jumping form one move to the next pretty quickly, and he wasn't the best at that yet. Which was another reason why I kept going back to Dual Chop, it was a simple and easy to use move, though, even with that insight, Lycanroc didn't seem winded at all, to be fair ti was the first round but I thought he would have to put a bit more power behind his punches.

I wasn't going to complain, he was doing really well so far, and I was proud of the sheer amount of progress his made in the last few months that he has been on the team. Still I focused myself back onto the battle at hand as I watched as the last Pokemon was sent out, this time it was a golduck. So he's thinking with type in mind this time, the battle was started out right as the golduck touched the ground because of the Stealth Rock, so I called out right after.

"Stone Edge, Lycanroc" My opponent didn't seemed to like that as he quickly called out to his Pokemon, as the spiked that were coming out of the ground rushed towards the golduck.

"Dodge with Aqua Jet, then hit it with a Aqua Tail" Water formed around the golduck as they moved out of the way of the attack before rushing straight at Lycanroc, so I decided to use a bit of over kill as I called out.

"Iron Defense Lycanroc, then Outrage" His body seemed to get a light metallic shine to it, at least before a cyan blue color erupted from his form as the energy seemed to build before exploding forwards as from an outside view it appeared to be a massive beast of energy rush forwards and rammed right into the golduck who had been trying to change direction, but wasn't near fast enough.

As the explosion rocked through out the stadium, I just waited a second for the smoke to clear to reveal that the golduck had been launched out of the field and was resting on the ground about twenty feet away, while Lycanroc's form was still bathed in the Dragon energy before slowly dropping to show him without barely a scratch on his form. After a moment of nice silence, the crowed exploded in noise as the announcer called out.

"And with that this rookie has steamrolled his way past the first round without a single defeat, incredible ladies and gentlemen"

I just rolled my eyes, as I turned and began to make my way out of the stadium, completely ignoring the camera crew that rushed up to me for an interview, though Lycanroc, who I didn't return, and as such was right behind me, might have been the reason why they didn't try to hard to make me answer their questions. So with that I made my way out of the stadium and so find out about who, where, and when I would be battling next.


First round of eight done. I don't think really much will be added at the bottom of these chapters at the moment, though I'll probably think of something to add at the bottoms of the others ones. So, See ya.
