I Don't Own Pokemon
After a few minutes, Bruno stepped out looking at Charizard with interest before taking his spot, we looked at each other for a moment before he brought forwards his first pokeball and threw it into the middle of the stadium with much more force than was even close to necessary. Watching as the steelix appeared on the field, I noted I felt a ping of annoyance. Right this one and the next don't really follow their specialties as much as the first two.
"Get back some then Flamethrower!" He was in the air in under a second before getting some distance before unleashing a torrent of fire which bashed into the Steel type leading to a roar from said Steel type.
"Steelix Smack Down!" The steelix moved with a surprising amount of speed, and by surprising amount of speed, it was almost unbelievable that the massive Pokemon was suddenly in the air before hopping up in the air a little bit before slamming their tail down onto my Lizard shooting him into the ground. As the smoke was clearing up, I didn't have to wait long on the condition of my Pokemon as a Inferno was released slamming into the steelix.
"Ancient Power Steelix!" Great another Rock type attack, as the ground around the steelix ripped up into shards before flying forwards at my Lizard who was currently flying around most of the rocks and destroying the ones that he can't get out of the way of in time.
"Tailwind then Flame Shot!" The air around him seemed to suddenly add to his speed, because that's what happened as he suddenly had a much easier time moving around the rocks that were being shot at him. Some still clipped his wings but most missed as he approached the Steel type before shooting off a big ball of fire into the Pokemon's face which quickly expanded in a explosion of heat, covering most of the Pokemon in fire.
"Curse Steelix then Rock Slide!" The body of the long Pokemon glowed a faint purple before the air rippled around their form before another wave of rocks were shot at my Lizard, how ducked in and out of most of the attacks, but still got hit a few times before I called out.
"Inferno! Destroy those rocks!" The front of his body was suddenly covered in fire as the wave of flame rushed forwards completely breaking up the rocks and washing over the steelix. This Pokemon was very bulky to take so many strong blows from my Lizard, but it has clearing been taking a toll on the Steel type. But the bloody Pokemon wasn't going down, even as they got burned from the Inferno's secondary effect, though they had to be close as I called out one last time.
"Charizard Flamethrower!" He gained some more altitude in the air, until he was right over the steelix before raining down fire onto the Pokemon, after a few seconds the Pokemon crashed into the ground. Quickly after Charizard dropped to the ground, with a bit of a rough landing. Frowning a little to myself, I wasn't the biggest fan of how much damage Charizard had to take this one Pokemon down.
As the next pokeball was sent out I was glad to see a Pokemon that was actually the right type this time, as the hitmonchan appeared on the field for only a few moments before I called out to Charizard.
"Flamethrower into Wing Attack!" My lizard rushed forwards as a torrent of fire rushed forwards, which the hitmonchan took shielding their view when Charizard shot out of his own fire with his wing glowing. Smashing his wing into the body of the Fighting type, the hitmonchan just grabbed on to the wing taking the hit with full force.
"Thunder Punch Hitmonchan!" The Fighting type who's body was being held on the wing of my Pokemon when they raised both fists up which starting glowing with electric energy before slamming down onto Charizard's wing. I grimaced as it led to a spiraling free fall down to the ground, as they went down getting faster and faster in velocity, that's when I called out to my Pokemon.
"Outrage Charizard!" His form exploded with Dragon type energy which slammed into the hitmonchan forcing them to hold on, unless they wanted to get dragged out of the attack and get hit with it, instead of just riding it out. Though that was the wrong move, as they were still on a course to the ground, now going even faster, before slamming into the stadium floor, making another massive crater with a big explosion sounding the floor. I didn't wait until the smoke cleared to call out.
"Dragon Pulse Charizard!" I waited a moment in silence, hoping that he hadn't fainted, when a massive purplish color pulse of energy ripped through the could of smoke, with the hitmonchan in the middle of the attack. Watching as the Fighting Pokemon slammed into the ground, I looked back over towards the smoke that had yet to fully clear, before a rush of almost blue energy seemed to shoot out of the smoke before smashing into the hitmonchan sending them flying backwards almost forty feet away, unconscious.
I looked back to Charizard who was panting incredibly hard, as he seemed to be staying up from pure determination, as I took a look at his tail to show it was completely blue in flame. Blaze was working over time, the more damage to his body the stronger his flames get after reaching a certain point, to have his fire to be that strong just from his tail must mean he was in a horrible state. But yet he just stood there refusing to fall, ready for the next opponent.
After a second of hesitation, I left him out on the field, god I was hating myself for that choice, but he needed this. Last time he went down and couldn't get himself back up, here, he needed to prove to himself that the only way he wasn't giving up on himself was to fight until he couldn't. I ignored the massive amount of guilt I was feeling about not helping him more before this as I watched the next pokeball get tossed out to the field. This time it was a hitmonlee.
"Blast Burn!" He seemed to struggle for a moment before opening his mouth in the direction of the hitmonlee, and with that a massive and I mean massive cone of pure blue fire covered seventy percent of the stadium. After a few seconds the attack stopped suddenly as Charizard nearly fell onto his knees in strain from the attack that seemed to be to hot for him to use, he was over heating from the inside with how much he was pushing into his fire, into Blaze just to keep standing.
Though that cost wasn't worth the price in my eyes, it did do it's job as the hitmonlee was flame charred in appearance, covered in burns but still standing. After a few seconds Charizard stood back up, while the Fighting type also seemed to get theself ready for the next attack. I was hesitant to order out anything else but after a few seconds, I called out.
"Flame Burst rapid fire Charizard!" A small multitude of small balls of blue fire shot forwards, as the hitmonlee rushed forwards, towards the attack, jumping and seemingly bouncing around in and out of the spread of attacks, and as it out close.
"Reversal Hitmonlee!" I winced as the Pokemon slammed their foot into the face of my Lizard who's head was snapped to the right as he tried his best to not topple over.
"Inferno" I almost hated calling out that attack, but I did as he directed his face towards the kicking Pokemon who hadn't had the time to get away as he unleashed a massive torrent of fire directly into the face of the Fighting type and held the attack not letting up for a second, because I'm sure if he did, then he would pass out.
"Stone Edge!" I bit into my lip as I watched as from the flames a spike of earth jutted up before slamming into Charizard tossing him back, as he stumbled trying to recover from the attack, Bruno called out.
"Close Combat Hitmonlee!" It was over after just the first few strikes, as my Lizard went down. Taking a deep breath, I returned him, before slowly reaching up and grabbed the next pokeball. Looking down at it for a second was all the time I gave myself before tossing the ball into the field, as Pidgeot appeared before flapping his wings getting into the air, just in time for me to call out.
"Agility then Wing Attack!" The hitmonlee was incredibly injured, so as Pidgeot's speed increased by a massive amount, before flying forwards at an insane speed all it took was one hit before the Pokemon was down. Watching as the Pokemon was returned, I sighed to myself as I went back to mentally preparing myself for the next one to be sent out. This time it was a poliwrath.
"Air Cutters and Slashes Pidgeot then Wing Attack!" The long ranged attacks rushed forwards as the poliwrath did their best to dodge but couldn't get out of the way for most of them, getting hit over and over again a few times. That's when Pidgeot blitzed forwards with his wings glowing.
"Ice Punch Poliwrath!" I frowned as the two melee attack connected, as the shock wave form the impact launched the two Pokemon back a bit, as both took what seemed to be equal damage, which wasn't good. Pidgeot didn't have the best defense, which meant equal damage done to both was actually a detriment. As Pidgeot flew back up into the air a bit to get some distance as the poliwrath tried to get close enough for another punch I called out.
"Twister Pidgeot, get them away, then Swift!" My Bird beat his wings hard as a Twister was quickly formed and thrown towards the Water type, who was swiped up in the attack, before being thrown out of it as the attack exploded in a guest of wind. As the Pokemon hit the ground stars appeared around Pidgeot's body before shooting off towards the poliwrath, which slammed into the Pokemon, keeping them on the ground, not letting them get up.
"Get close with Quick Attack then Wing Attack once more!" His speed seemed to multiple as he was up in the air before suddenly only three feet above the ground charging at the poliwrath, as he slammed his wing into the Pokemon, I was expecting said Pokemon to go flying backwards from the force and speed of the impact but instead, they moved back before hearing something I really didn't want to hear.
"Counter!" I didn't have close to enough time to call out for a Protect, as the poliwrath raised their arms up with their fists clenched tight before slamming them both down onto my Bird's head, also slamming him into the ground, as another crater was formed from the pain of my Bird, I felt a small growl slip out as I could feel my taxed control slip just the smallest bit before I shut that down hard before calling out.
"Hurricane Pidgeot!" It took a seconds but before the Water type could react he was back into the air and was flying in a circle forming his strongest attack. The Hurricane was strong and quickly grabbed and threw the poliwrath around like a rag-doll for a bit. When Pidgeot suddenly cut off the attack, the poliwrath was a good could dozen feet in the air still.
"Quick Attack into Wing Attack!" He rushed forwards and slammed his wing into the body of the poliwrath, smashing his wing into the Pokemon at a little over the speed of sound was more than enough to send the Pokemon into another fully formed crater as yet another cloud of dust was whipped up around the bottom of the field. Waiting for a few seconds, as the smoke cleared to reveal the still conscious if just barley, was were the poliwrath stood.
"Icy Wind Poliwrath!" The barely standing Pokemon, seemed to take in whatever their version of a deep breath was, before a wave of icy crystals were launched at my Bird, who ducked out of the way of the attacks.
"Swift!" That was all that was needed to take the Pokemon down, as they were returned I looked over towards Pidgeot. He was banged up some, that Counter really did a number on him but that was my fault for not expecting him to have some kind of plan when there was no order given to dodge, I just assumed that their wasn't any time for it. Bruno was much more of a challenge than I thought he would be, after all, he's managed to almost stand on equal footing with two of my own team. As the last Pokemon was sent out, a machamp, I called out.
"Air Slash!" Sending his blades of wind at the Fighting type, I frowned as the Pokemon just jumped out of the way without to much issue.
"Now Machamp Thunder Punch!" The Pokemon dashed forwards, jumping up on some of the massive rock spikes that had now begun to litter the stadium. Jumping even higher up the four fist on the Pokemon were pulled back as four attacks formed, ready to be used. Though they didn't get the chance as Pidgeot flew upwards out of the range of their jump.
"Gust, throw them back to earth!" My Bird slammed his wings hard as the machamp who was about ten feet from making connect was slammed backwards as a massive slamming force of air launched them into the ground kicking up some dust. I didn't wait for the smoke to clear, it wouldn't effect my Bird accuracy, with his Keen Eye ability.
"Air Cutter, as many as you can Pidgeot!" He focused before waves of super thin rings of air were on their way on a collision course with the machamp, I listened to the sound of some connecting only for a few seconds before the machamp jumped up out of the cloud of smoke this time getting much higher in the air, not wanting to risk just not being high enough as Bruno called out.
"Elemental Punch!" That's a new one, it didn't take a genius to figure out though, as from the look of it a Thunder, Fire, Ice, and Mega Punch was being all used at once, it was interesting to think out the level of control needed to do such a attack combo, but at this moment I shoved it out of my mind as I called out to Pidgeot.
"Protect! The fly up!" I thought it would be enough, after all it was very rare for a Protect to not be enough. So I was shocked as I watched all four fists punch into the barrier before said barrier began to buckle then shattering, with each of the four attacks slamming into my Bird with each one at a different point. Launching him down towards the ground, barely managing to right himself in the air well enough to not crash. But that wasn't the only problem after all, the machamp was coming back down, I shouted out to my Bird.
"Hurricane now! Stay in the center!" He barely managed the high focus move in time, as a massive spiraling barrier of wind shot up around Pidgeot, which the machamp slammed their body into, getting shot backwards and had to deal with a rough landing because of it. After a second the Hurricane ended, revealing my Bird and all the new injuries he sported from those last attacks.
"Ice Punch Machamp!" The four armed Pokemon was back on the charge as they got closer, I took a look over towards Pidgeot and frowned as a small resigned sigh went past my lips before I could stop it, still, he was too hurt to get out of the way in time, and even one more of those four possible hits had the possibility to take him out of the running. God I wish I could come up with something else, anything else, but I didn't as I called out to my Bird.
"Quick Attack into Wing Attack Pidgeot!" He was charging to the other Pokemon gathering as much strength as he could, and that's when they made contact. As the explosion of force rang out around me, I sighed as I looked on as the smoke cleared, revealing the downed forms of the two Pokemon. Reaching for his ball, I returned him at the same time as Bruno did, as he turned and left the stadium.
And with that only one more to go, See ya.
