I Don't Own Pokemon


I didn't bother going over the repetitive sitting and waiting, I was currently on my stand in the center of the main Indigo Stadium, as I waited on my opponent to walk through the doors. Being honest, it was kind of exciting standing their in the middle of the massive main stadium even if I didn't enjoy all the attention that was being directed at me. It was more of personal understanding what it means to get to here.

"And here on the other side! We have Justin! A trainer that has been making his way through the competition at a steady pace! Well it's not dillydally any longer! Lets get this battle on the road!"

The referee stepped forwards and raised his hands into the air with the two flags he was holding with him. A sign that we were suppose to release our first team member, I had to read a small pamphlet on the signs that the referee would give us. It was mostly for the audience to so a sense of professionalism, at least that's what I figured it was for, otherwise this was just some sick power play by the officials to give them a sense of power over the trainers.

But that's pretty morbid so I'm going to assume it was the first one, either way I kept my thoughts to myself as I reached up and grabbed to the fifth pokeball on my chest. Priming the ball in my hand, I threw the ball in an underhand toss into the air. Watching for a second as Charizard appeared I glanced past him towards the other side of the massive battle field. Golem, a great counter for Charizard, though that is if one only went on type. The referee swung both flags down, signalling the battle to a start.

"Golem Rock Blast!" He's fast, I'll give him that. The ground in front of golem ripped up as big boulders turned into smaller ones as they all rushed at Charizard. I didn't bother ordering my lizard to move out of the way of the attack, he had destroyed bigger. So instead I called out.

"Flamethrower straight through" My powerhouse let out a massive torrent of fire which shattered most of the attack on contact, and those that didn't, didn't last long in the intense heat, as the power barreled forwards and slammed into the slow moving Rock type. Even if the attack was very powerful, it was still four times weaker because of type, though as the fire let up, I did note the attack did more damage than I thought it would. Still that didn't stop Justin from calling out right after.

"Stone Edge!" My lizard wouldn't be able to just over power this one, so I called out to him as the rocks started to jut out of the earth, making the already slowly breaking stadium floor that much worse.

"Straight up into the air Charizard, then Tailwind. Once the attack stops then Dragon Pulse" The air seemed to shift as he shot into the sky, taking himself out of the range from the rock type attack. The after a moment, I watched as the bluish purple hue of the Dragon typed attack formed before rushing straight down at the golem. Who manged to roll out of the way of the worst of it, but still out hit by the splash zone of the attack. Sending it off to the side, were I called out.

"Now Iron Tail" While Charizard might not be close to as fast as Pidgeot, he was no slouch when it came to speed when he needed to be, as he raced forwards in the air before at the fast second, flipping himself mid air to slam his glowing tail into the head of the golem, as the Rock type slammed into the ground, I called for Charizard to get back up into the air, as I waited to see if the Pokemon would get back up. It was a good choice, as while Charizard flew backwards, Justin called out.

"Explosion!" Just go down with dignity, after all Charizard was already out of the AoE of the self defeating move by the time it went off. All he did was worsen his Pokemon's condition, which I noted made a small frown appear on my face, as I watched him recall the golem. I didn't bother looking over at Charizard, even if I felt the need to, I knew unlike everyone else on my team, I knew he would be offended if I thought those three small moves would even begin to tire him out, hell I would also be offended for him.

So instead I just ignored the announcer like it was basically expected at this point, as I watched Justin reach to bring out another pokeball in his hand. I could feel that he wasn't sure if his choice was the best one, as his hand seemed to hesitate a small bit as he tossed it into the air. I could understand why, as I watched the machamp appear, this wasn't a good match up against Charizard. We both waited a moment until the referee's hands went down as I called out my order.

"Wing Attack" He rushed forwards once more, this time with his right wing glowing as he positioned it to run straight through where the machamp was standing. Sadly it seemed that I was under estimating how strong a machamp was, considering I was guessing on the boost in power compared to a machoke. And to be fair that one wasn't the best trained, as I listened to Justin call out.

"Catch it! Then Dual Chop!" I'll be honest, I was shocked as the machamp raised all four of their arms up and grabbed onto the wing as my lizard rushed towards them. And while the Pokemon did slide backwards a good dozen feet, they did in fact stop Charizard. As two of the arms raised into the air as they glowed with a familiar move, with the other two holding Charizard in place, I called out.

"Blast Burn" The move itself was still mostly untested, mostly because he learned it in the middle of the woods, not the best place for on of the strongest Fire type moves in the world. So even I was surprised a little as Charizard held his head back for a second and just as the two arms were about to come down on him, he opened his mouth as the temperature raised a good dozen degrees, as a almost white colored fire spewed forth and consumed the machamp form in flames.

Though it only lasted a second before it was all over, as the machamp fell over after a second of probable shock, from their body trying to figure out what had just happened. I glanced over towards Charizard, he was panting a little, but that was mostly from using so much fire in a short period of him, his body wasn't use to doing that, he wasn't actually all that tired, just experiencing a sudden sharp drop in energy, even if it wasn't much lost, it was how fast he lost it.

Watching as the machamp was returned back into their pokeball, I waited as I fought the urge to roll my eyes as the announcer made a near monologue about how this could be the last chance for Justin to turn this battle around, yatta yatta, something about my win streak, yatta yatta, a random comment on my love life...Wait what? I felt my eye twitch as I heard a cat call from the audience at that. How does that relate to anything that is happening right now?

Not to mention the fact that I'm twelve you creeps, at least in body, but that should still be more than enough for that person to get put on some kind of list. Sill, what is with people and nosing into other peoples loves lives, it doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, I focused back onto match, as I watched as Justin tossed his last pokeball into the air, revealing this time a Gengar. He has a team of trade evolutions, I wonder why that's the thing I noticed.

Still Cursed Body would be annoying, not anything I can't work around, but having the chance for a move to just stop working wouldn't be good. Refocusing back onto my surroundings, I moved my eyes over towards the referee and waited for a few moments for the battle to begin, and as the flags came down I turned my eyes back towards the field, calling out.

"Dragon Pulse" The gengar just dropped into their shadow to duck under the attack, but I've gotten way to good and dealing with Mismagius popping in and out of shadows trying to spook me. And I kind of have an unfair advantage when it comes to stuff like shadows, it is considered a form of darkness after all. So I just scanned over the clearing for a moment before calling out to my Lizard.

"Flamethrower a little to your right" I wasn't trying to hit the Pokemon, I knew that, that wouldn't happen, but the light from the fire was more than enough to get rid of the shadow the gengar was making to hide in. So as the Ghost type was evicted from the shadow, I called out to Charizard to increase his power output. The ghost didn't stay there long but Charizard still did some nice damage.

"Shadow Ball Gengar!" The power was impressive, I haven't had to many battles with Ghost types, and I can't judge power only based on the one on my team. Comparatively, it was actually a bit stronger than Mismagius' Shadow Ball. But she works more from hit and runs not frontal attacks that this Pokemon seems to focus on. Still the attack was on it's way, so I called out.

"Charizard, Swift. Then Flame Shot" The Swift was only their to cancel out the attack, which meant without on the way, the ball of fire rushed forwards without anything to stop it. The gengar was close to moving out of the way, but wasn't fast enough as the ball of fire exploded into a big sized sphere of flames. I moved my eyes away from the attack as I looked around the clearing, something was off, that attack could have been dodged.

"Payback!" Ah, that made sense. As the Gengar seemed to appear behind Charizard and as the ghost was about to slam their hand down onto my Lizard's head. I called out to him.

"Protect behind you" While it might not be his strong suit, that doesn't mean I don't have the team practice that move to hell in back. I might not use it a lot in battle, but that's usually because they can already dodge out of the way on their own. Protect as a move was a safety precaution, that so far has yet to fail to make me annoyed for spending thousands on its disk. I seem to keep getting side tracked that's not good, I should finish this.

"Turn and Dragon Pulse" The attack hit right off the bat, as the gengar was launched backwards, I called out again, as they were still in the air about to hit the ground.

"Now Flamethrower" And with that I won. Listening to the announcer babble just long enough to here that this would continue on for awhile, I turned and began to make my way out of the stadium. Three more to go, until I get to fight the Elite Four, hopefully that will be fun.


Kyu is a bit disappointed at the moment as you all can probably tell, he wants to battle someone that will challenge him, so far, as shown in this chapter, he doesn't even really need to pay that much attention to the battle to win. He was half zoned out on another topic for a quarter of the fight. It's interesting to write chapters like this were he just kind of steam rolls it. In most of the gyms he was about on par with them all usually for the most part because he only used one Pokemon, but here. Well he is way past eighth gym level, and that's what basically everyone in the tournament is working at. Anyway, See ya.
