I Don't Own Pokemon
I spent the wait time up to the last opponent, Agatha, by calming myself to the best point I could manage, I really and I mean really didn't like the fact that I was having so much emotional troubles. This is one of those times that I really wish that some certain people were right about me, it would be nice if I didn't have the emotional spectrum to feel guilt and regret. But I wasn't a sociopath, so I just had to deal with it, as Agatha slowly took her time to the to the field.
As she took position and grabbed a pokeball out, I too grabbed the next pokeball of my choice before tossing it into the air, as Mismagius appeared on the field with a crobat also showed up in front of her. I steadied myself before calling out to my Ghost.
"Into the shadows then Power Gem!" It was risky, trying to out play a Ghost type specialist with a Ghost type Pokemon, but that's why I sent her out now instead of Lycanroc, Mismagius can deal with the Pokemon that aren't Ghost types for right now, didn't mean I didn't have to be careful as I watched as the gems on her body glowed before stones made of energy shot forward in a spread shot at the Poison Type.
"Crobat Pursuit!" The speedy bat, zipped out of the way of the Rock type attack before, dashing forwards, just barely missing the opening they had, as my Ghost slipped into the shadows once more into safety as she moved out of the collision course, of the Pokemon, as they slammed into the ground. As the bat was recovering I called out to Mismagius.
"Thunderbolt point blank!" She floated out of her shadow and slammed the electric attack into the back of the Pokemon causing them to destabilize in the air a little before straightening themself up as they moved out some.
"Wing Attack now!" I called out for her to get back into the shadows but it was to late for that, as the super fast Pokemon slammed one of their wings into my Ghost. She didn't take well to that, as she was knocked backwards by a good amount, my Ghost didn't have the best defense, out of everyone on my team, she had the worst, and it showed, as I called out to her as she recovered from the hit.
"Shock Wave, use it as a shield!" A wave of lightning was formed as the crobat slammed their body into the attack, shocking the hell out of them, after a few seconds Mismagius dropped the attack, pushing the crobat away, when suddenly the crobat was suddenly over next to her, something I could only trace because of heighten Pokemon instincts and my experience with keeping an eye on my Bird, when the bat slammed their wings down onto my Ghost with the Wing Attack.
"Payback now!" She managed to not get knocked away from the attack, before returning it by smashing into the Poison type knocking them backwards a little bit, it wasn't the most damage but she wasn't a physical attacker, so I moved to her more comfortable area of attacking as I called out to her.
"Now Mismagius Shadow Ball, rapid fire!" She held her arms out in front of her with a look of concentration on her face before she unleashed her massive volley of attack. She wasn't taking any chances of the crobat not hitting hit, as she launched a Shadow Ball at every conceivable point of exit to get out of the way of the attack, but I wasn't expecting what she had planned, at least not fully, as she launched a particularly unstable Shadow Ball forwards, which exploded in the middle of the air, with all the other dozen or so Shadow Balls next to it.
It was like watching a mine field go off, as a massive explosion rang out from the clearing, catching the crobat in the dead center of it all. After amount ten seconds the dust was cleared out enough to show the fainted Pokemon, watching as they were returned, I glanced over towards Mismagius, who was panting lightly. That was a massive attack, on par with some of Charizard's or even Luxray's in terms of power.
And even after all this time, stamina was still her greatest weakness in a battle, it was an impressive display and clearly showed that while not usually thought of as the strongest, my Ghost definitely wasn't a slouch in pure power even if she didn't have the reserves to back it up for a long period of time. Though like I thought, that attack combo did take a lot out of her. Watching as the next Pokemon was sent out, an arbok this time, because why use a Ghost type right, it'd not like it's her specialty or anything.
"Gunk Shot!" A ball of, well, gunk shot out of the mouth of the snake, as Mismagius ducked down into the shadows once more, as the shot rushed past the space where my Ghost had just vacated. Agatha started calling out to her Pokemon, pointing at what shadow my Ghost was in for them to shoot off another Gunk Shot. It was annoying, as their was only so many places that the dark spots were even formed dark enough to properly hide in, but that didn't seem to matter to her any.
"Ominous Wind!" A wave of darkened air rushed out from the position were Mismagius had been hiding, as the smoke like attack settled down as it coated the floor in dark mist like air, covering up the shadows so a certain opponent couldn't track my Ghost, while giving her more room to move around in. It also had the side benefit of damaging the arbok as well, but the attack wasn't very powerful at the moment, I was mostly using it as a cover than attack, to be power conserving.
"Shadow Ball multi-shot!" This time she used it the way I was more familiar with, as I watched on, keeping myself from darting my eyes around the field, no need to give Agatha a tip off if she looks over towards me, that I can keep track of my Ghost, as every second, a new Shadow Ball shot out from the mist in a completely different location, every time.
The arbok was trying their best to attack at where the attacks were coming from but Mismagius was to slippery for that, so I wasn't worried, well at least about her getting hit. She wasn't built for taking attacks, and she's already gotten a few hits taken already which wasn't good, and also because her stamina, well pretty good wasn't going to hold up forever.
And judging from the fact that only now that the snake Pokemon was showing signs of getting hurt, well, my Ghost wouldn't last keeping up everything she had going on. Using Phantom Force to get around the battle field and out of the line of sight from the arbok, keeping said floor covered with Ominous Wind so see even could attack in the first place, and not to mention the energy it must be taking from her to be continually attacking with all those Shadow Balls.
Still, I didn't call for a change, this was the smart play, while it was energy excessive, it also minimized the likelihood of Mismagius getting hurt, as it would take a lucky shot to get her hit. That didn't mean, as I watched the arbok finally go down after multiple attempts from their trainer to get the battle back to a face to face match, that I didn't notice that the response fire on my Ghost's attacks had gotten much slower over the course of her drawn out battle.
The mist slowly let up as the arbok was returned, as Mismagius popped out of a near by shadow, panting hard from the effort she had been putting in. She was tired, not something that Pain Split would help fix. That only mostly worked for injuries, with the more damage healed, the more bonus energy she could get from it. But she didn't have that many injuries which meant the effect would hardly be noticeable.
This time the Pokemon that was sent out was actually a Ghost type, the only problem was, I didn't have any experience against this one, after all, what were the chances of me battling against an Alolan marowak in the middle of Kanto. I'll just have to be careful, after all I have little clue about this one's move-set besides only a few moves, though I wasn't going to let that stop me from testing the waters, as I called out.
"Shadow Ball, the back into the ground!" The Shadow ball went off with out a problem though, I couldn't really say that it worked out as I planned as the Fire type jumped out of the way of the attack, when.
"Marowak Shadow Bone!" I didn't know what that move was, which was already enough to worry me, which didn't help me any as I realized what the attack probably meant just a second to late. As the marowak slammed one of the ends of their bone weapon onto the ground, I was already calling out to my Ghost in a panic as I watched as dark purple bones jutted out of the ground, similar to Stone Edge, on a direct path to my Ghost.
"Get out o-" And that's as fair as I got when the bones rushed past where my Ghost had been hiding, the seconds after the attack went over the shadows she was in, I watched as my Ghost slowly rose up from the ground, floating with what seemed to be a lot of pain, which she couldn't even Pain Split, why did Agatha have to choose now to use a Ghost type. I sighed as I ignored the frown on my face as I waited a moment, as I thought of a plan.
"Shadow Bone again!" There it was.
"Use Me First Mismagius!" She landed down to the ground and the second the bottom of her body touched the ground, a wave of dark purple bones spiked out of the earth, rushing at the Alolan Pokemon, who annoying jumped to the right avoiding most of the damage but still managed to get clipped by the attack.
"Hex!" I felt my fist clench, as I watched as the air around my ghost darkened before either of us could react, before the attack went off, as I listened to my Ghost yell out in pain before falling to the ground. Reaching to grab the needed pokeballs, I returned my fallen friend, and place her ball back in its correct space, as I looked down at the only ball in my hand, and the only Pokemon that wasn't unconscious.
Looking over towards the field for a moment, to collect myself and my nerves as I tossed the ball out onto the field, as I watched Lycanroc appear. Watching as he looked around for a moment, before he seemed to zone in on the Fire type in front of him, with a hint of familiarity as this was one of his home regions Pokemon, but that's as much time I took before calling out.
"Earth Power!" Lycanroc smashed his foot into the ground as the marowak tried to get out of the way, but wasn't fast enough to get out of the way as the ground exploded upwards destroying the stadium floor even more, as the Fire type was shot backwards from the force of the Ground type attack, I followed it up with.
"Iron Defense, then Rock Slide!" His form glowed a familiar shine of sliver, before a good dozen rocks were hurled at the marowak, who seemed to want to run but after a second, stood their ground as Agatha called out.
"Marowak Bone Rush!" The flaming bone in their hands seemed to glow even more before extending, that's when the rocks got close as the Fire type started slamming their way through all the rock that were flung at them. And while it was a little annoying that the attack didn't hit, it didn't mean I wasn't going to use this as a great way to get a attack in while they're distracted.
"Stone Edge!" As another massive wave of rock spikes shot upwards out of the ground, and was quickly coming up on the marowak, who long just noticed the massive Rock type attack as they just manged to break through the last rock that had been thrown, when the Stone Edge slammed into the Pokemon, launching them into the air, but I didn't wait for them to come back down as I called out.
"Dual Chop!" My Wolf charged forwards, jumping up on the newly formed spikes of rock before jumping even higher up, just making it high enough to be on the level of the now falling Fire type, and rushed the gravity a bit as Lycanroc slammed his paws into the body of the marowak, launching the Pokemon down into the ground, causing a massive wave of dust to pour out from the impact zone.
As the dust settled, I looked on as Lycanroc landed back on the ground kicking up some more dust, a little rough but he managed. Looking past him, I watched as my opponent returned the Alolan marowak, when it was clear that they wouldn't be getting back up. As the next pokeball was tossed into the air, I was curious as I looked at the banette on the ruined ground of the battle field. Though that was interrupted as my opponent called out.
"Shadow Ball!" The Pokemon was fast, much faster than I thought they would be, considering from memory the only high natural stat they have is attack while speed was the worst, though that information didn't help me any as the Shadow Ball slammed into my Pokemon before I could call out to him, but after the fact I was more than fine with calling out.
"Earth Power!" This time though, the Ghost seemed to just slip away right before the explosion could go off, great they could Shadow Sneak. I looked around the field as I scanned around for a few moments, as I frowned to myself. I couldn't find them, from all the dips from the holes in the ground and all the spikes of earth that littered the field their was too many obstructions to find them. So I would have to wait, but that didn't mean I was going to waste the time I had, after all, I didn't have to find the Pokemon myself.
"Iron Defense to max, then Odor Sleuth!" His body glowed even brighter before cooling down, he perked his nose upwards as he smelled around the area for a moment, before I heard a faint growl under his breath, letting me know he found the Ghost without being to obvious about it. As I was the only one that could hear the super faint sound of his growl as I called out.
"Earth Power then Stone Edge!" He slammed his foot into the ground, as the ground in a particularly far part of the battle field exploded, shooting out of the ground the banette was launched backwards, when Lycanroc slammed his paw on the ground as a massive spike shot up slamming into the Ghost type throwing them backwards.
"Shadow Ball" The Pokemon, instead of slamming into the ground instead went through it, and after a second popped back up and threw a Shadow Ball at my Wolf, as I tried to call out to him, I was taken by surprise as before the attack could even get a foot away, the banette suddenly was at the other side of Lycanroc and shot off another Shadow Ball, then moved again, and shot another, then another, then, another, by the time the first Shadow Ball was about to connect their was over fifteen coming at him in a circle.
"Protect!" The move surrounded my Wolf, as a massive explosion rang out as over a dozen attacks slammed into his shield. No matter what it said in the games, Protect wasn't a Normal type move, it was one of the very few in existences in this world that didn't have a type. Which meant that each hit against Lycanroc's protection was draining more and more of his energy.
It wasn't just the initial attacks either, this Ghost type some how has apparently near unlimited energy themself, as over the next twenty seconds over forty more Shadow Balls slammed into his Protect. He couldn't keep it up for much later, out of everyone the only one on the team who had more trouble with Protect was Charizard. I sighed as I focused my attention on the almost clear pattern the banette was following, before biting the bullet as I called out.
"Left! Outrage!" His reaction was instant as he dashed out of the Protect almost before it even got the chance to drop fulling as Dragon type energy rushed around his form as he charged to his left, slamming into the banette, taking a good six or so attacks before he made contact, that's when the Ghost almost slipped away, I say almost because I've just spent the twenty seconds studying the shadow pattern the very fast Ghost type had.
"To your right!" I had to hope he could hear me properly from inside his attack and mind as he spun on his heel and dashed forwards at the Ghost once more, who tried and failed to escape into their shadow as they were ran into my Lycanroc, being thrown around as I called out where they would be heading every single time they tried to escape into a shadow.
As I watched on, Lycanroc seemed to be getting a hang of where to head next, as I watched the banette, who at this point could barely stand, it was then that I noticed a faint purple light surrounding the Pokemon, something was wrong. Looking over towards Agatha for the split second I allowed myself to, I saw she was grinning. No, no, no NO NO.
"STOP!" With that my calm snapped, because I could tell it was to late, Lycanroc was only a foot away from the Ghost, no where near enough space to slow down his momentum as I listened to the old woman's voice as she called out, the exact second before my Wolf slammed his Dragon type energy covered form into the Ghost body.
"Destiny Bond!" I let out a breath as I watched as both Pokemon on the field slumped over unconscious. Frowning I sighed as I reached up and returned my last Pokemon, looking up at her, as she seemed to be waiting for something, I shook my head before turning and walking out of the stadium, ignoring the look on her face as she realized that she just defeated my last team member, in the most infuriating way possible.
He lost. I wonder how many people think he was going to go all the way, it certainly seemed like he wasn't going to lose, that destiny bond was a dirty trick that even I feel a little bad about. And I'm the one who made it happen. When I started this story, I wanted the Si, Kyu, to be just ridiculously strong, I mean unrealistically strong to a stupid degree, but I didn't want him to win. Why? Because plot, and it is one of the few key points I still have to do. That's how I write, I map out about five to six concepts that I want to use and I write a story around it. This was one of them. Anyway, I leave you all to read what most of you assumed would be the battle against Lance, See ya.
