Chapter 20 Thundering Battle
Pikachu was not surprised Emolga passed out from her fourth attempt at the mighty and always useful on any special type focus Pokemons, the electric attack Thunderbolt. Pikachu thought she was near the peak to use Thunderbolt without it exploding in her face or dissipating before landing on its mark. Sonic who lazily watches the Pikachu train the Emolga grasshopper with his most used attacks behind Quick Attack. The Charizars rose to his thick lizard feet and stomp over to the passed out electric flying squirell and electric mouse
"So outside of it being a hilarious show I think she approved a lot and has promise."
"Can't disagree with you on that Sonic."
Sonic picked up Emolga like she was an action figure, she basically was in terms of size specially in Sonic's claw. The duo decided that it was time to head back and check on the young couple, aka Ash and Misty for you not paying attention. Sonic and Pikachu found Ash and Misty who were still near the docks where we last saw them chapter. Currently as we catch up with them in this chapter Ash has got his team settled on so he and his team can face the electric soldier of war.
"So how was your date on the docks-"
"WE WEREN'T ON A DATE!"
The duo said in sync with each other, maybe they can battle bond evolve. Sonic laughed at their reaction but the fire type lizard still had more to say to the two trainers.
"You're blushing faces tell a different story."
The two trainers looked away annoyed with the former hedgehog and tried to cool their faces so they stopped blushing. The four with Emolga in Sonic's claw return to the Pokemon center to get all the Pokemon healed up and call it a night for the day, so they can wake up at the dawn of the next one. Sonic placed Emolga gently down on a pillow that was just big enough to act as a bed for her. Pikachu decided not to sleep with Ash like normal but near Emolga in case she wakes up and wanted to wake him up to continue their training on the Thunderbolt move.
Pikachu theory was correct as he felt two small paws press against his side trying to wake his ass up.
"Hey old man are you awake."
"No I am not awake."
"Don't give me that."
Emolga whined to Pikachu as he got up and stretched so he could be fully awake and energized to deal with the Emolga teen. The duo exit the Pokemon center and find an open area so no one gets hurt in the process of the training. Pikachu pulls a small box from a pile of garbage which smells too bad for me to explain to you. Once all is ready they begin to train as Pikachu coach Emolga through mastering the mighty electric attack.
And she was getting down the amount of electricity needed to not explode, but the attack itself kept fading before landing its mark. Emolga was getting her attack closer and closer to the attack each attempt she made. After 64 attempts she finally landed a Thunderbolt on the trash box though it was not far away from where she was standing, let alone landing on a moving target. Pikachu did not want to lessen her small but important victory.
"You did amazing Emolga."
Pikachu said patting her cute head that lacked her hat on since who sleeps with a hat on in their legit bed? I mean come on. Emolga blush at his pats on her small skull, but she was not giving the larger electric mouse sas for what he was doing. The two small creatures full of electricity had heard clapping behind them so they turned to face the source of it. The clapping came from an early awakened Misty and next to her a slightly sleepy Ash Ketchum.
"That was an amazing feat Emolga."
"Don't patronize me, human."
Emolga said with her sassy tone. Pikachu let a chuckle escape his lips.
"I got to say kid you are so good that your Pikachu can teach her a move that should have taken weeks for a Pokemon to master."
Said the battle hardened gym leader Lt Surge who arrived bright and early so he can face the kid that beat his Raichu with a Pikachu, a frickin Pikachu. Ash suddenly got awake eyes hearing Surge's voice.
"Surge! how was the event you went to?"
"It was nice to see some old war bodies and friends. Now kid give me a few hours before I will be ready to face you and your Pokemon for your Prism League badge."
Ash nodded as Surge called Emolga to his side and the two headed to the gym to prepare for Ash's arrival. The heroes return back into the Pokemon Center to heal up and get his team sorted out to face the electric gym leaders. Misty was curious who Ash will pick since as far as she knows that he does not have many ground type Pokemon so it's going to be an interesting battle. Ash got the six Pokemon he was going to use, the duo heads towards the gym to face the soldier of thunder.
Ash and Misty enter the gym with Pikachu resting on Ash's shoulder like he does most of the time when they travel down the dirty path to their next gym. Ash saw Surge standing on his side of the Pokemon Battle field wearing a lime green tank top with light brown camouflage pants and last to his attire were combat boots to top off his military look.
"So kid ready to face my hellish storm?"
"Are you ready to pull out a white flag?"
Surge smirks as he pulls the Poke Ball of the Pokemon he will start the battle with. Ash held the ball of his first Pokemon for this battle as well. Surge first of six Pokemon was his also steel type Pokemon Magnezone, a living magnet creature that floats in the air ready to strike thunder down onto all that face it.
Ash's choice was a powerful one, a fire type to metal that steel type Pokemon. It was Quilava and the evolved starter from Johto was fired up to face Magnezone. Ash was allowed to call the first move and he took it and decided to go in swinging with Quilava.
"Quilava quickly hit Magnezone with a Flamethrower attack."
Quilava spit hot fire onto Magnezone which scorches its metal shell doing nice damage but not enough to knock out the living magnet.
"Magnezone hit that fiery rodent with a Thunder."
Electric energy pulse all around Magnezone's metallic body before shooting massive bolts towards the middle stage Johto tried to avoid the attack but the attack stung him and did incredible damage to him. Ash knew as likely you do that Quilava got more inside of him to let out in this Pokemon battle.
"Quilava returned the favor with your Fire Blast attack."
Quilava built up the fire inside his blue and tan color body and fired from his lips a powerful blast of flames in the shape of a Kanji which means big if you did not know what that kanji meant or the fact it was a kanji in the first place. The flaming kanji striked Magnezone square in the face doing critical damage and really put Magnezone on his back leg being one powerful fire attack from falling over defeated.
"Magnezone get in close and give that fire type a hug."
Quilava and Ash were at loss of words as Magnezone got closer and closer to Quilava and started pulsing energy almost like he was about to explode or something.
"Now Magnezone uses Explosion and gets revenge on that fiery rodent."
Quilava got a face full of Magnezone explosion killing itself and doing a lot of damage on the fiery starter. Ash was mad at himself as you are for just letting his Quilava take an explosion head on, he could have had a very healthy Quilava to face more of Surge's Pokemons. Surge's second Pokemon was an Ampharos the thundering sheep. The sheep was combat ready and smiled when he heard Surge's next command.
"Ampharos use your Power Gem attack."
A light blue beam of energy from Ampharos' forward that struck Quilava's side doing incredible damage to him.
"Quilava hang in there. Counter with using your Dig attack."
Ash commanded and Quilava dug into the earth as fast his tiny arms could dig up the dirt. Surge told Ampharos to use its Thunder attack but the mighty electric attack missed due to Quilava now fully into the ground below both trainer's feet. Right below Ampharos came Quilava who gave Ampharos' shocking chin an uppercut or for you Street Fighters fans, shoryuken!
"Ampharos ends this Quilava with a you're Shock Wave attack."
Quilava got shocked and knocked his ass out and forced Ash to pick a Pokemon to face the mighty electric sheep. Ash returned to Quilava and was proud of how he performed against Magnezone and Ampharos. Ash's second Pokemon was Gliscor and the ground type bat scorpion Pokemon. Gliscor was excited and ready to rock Ampharos' world.
"Gliscor hit Ampharos with your Earthquake attack."
Gliscor smiled with glee as he swung his pincer tail up before bringing it down like a mighty hammer into the ground shaking the entire arena launching shockwaves that crashed into Ampharos and did a lot of damage.
"Don't give up, soldier! Hit that stupid aerial ground type with your Dragon Pulse attack."
Energy spew from Ampharos' mouth that was wa many colors, this energy as it got closer to Gliscor formed a dragon's head and bit the shoulder of the aerial ground type Pokemon it did hurt Gliscor doing decent damage but it was not a super effective let alone crtitcal.
Misty and Pikachu were sitting in her lap as they watched Ash face Surge and see that Ash was in the lead still. Gliscor flew towards Ampharos and gave the shocking sheep a deadly Poison Jab to the face doing nice damage and getting the sheep on its last leg.
"Don't go out without a fight Ampharos! Use your Dragon Pulse Once more."
"Gliscor dodge it and hit Ampharos with your Giga Impact attack."
Gliscor soars out the chomping Dragon Pulse attack and dives towards Ampharos coated in energy, becoming a Gliscor size bomb that is about to detonate when crashing into Ampharos. The force of the Giga Impact crack the ground around where Ampharos was and the aftershocks almost knock even the towering Surge off his feet. When the dust settled to the surprise everyone but you reading this story Ampharos was out cold and Gliscor was a bit shaken from the attack beside being drained.
Surge returned Ampharos and said he did well and knew who shot that flying scorpion out of the sky, or rather punch it, due to being his Electivire and the motor powered punching machine cracked his knuckle preparing for the punch fest about to start.
"Electivire hit that Gliscor with the strongest Ice Punch you can dish out."
Electivire was a blur as he dashes towards Gliscor and strikes his ground type opponent square in the face sending him rocketing back crashing the wall of the gym they are inside of incase you forgot. Gliscor peeled himself from the wall and was ready to fight on commanded Gliscor to get his revenge by using Stone Edge. Gliscor formed dagger sharp stones and launched them all towards Electivire which shredded him up and did a lot of damage to the electric type.
"Electivire give that Gliscor another Ice Punch."
"Gliscor hit Electivire with your Poison Jab attack."
Both trainers shouted to their Pokemon as both approached their opponent and got hit by the other's attack. Electivire was shaken up but not with jello legs like Gliscor. Ash decides not to lose another Pokemon. Ash returns Gliscor and picks his only rock type Pokemon, Boldore. The blue rock and red gem creature appeared to battle on Ash's behath.
"Boldore starts your time in this battle with your Earthquake attack."
Slamming a spike arm down into the ground sending shockwaves across the ground that crash into Electivire doing loads of damage to commands Electivire to strike Boldore with a mighty Brick Break attack. Boldre desperately try to get out the way, but it was in vain as he got Brick break down on his stoney head.
But Boldre was still in the fight and responded with using his Iron Head attack which struck Electivire square in the face stunning the electric Pokemon and allowing Boldore to use another move.
"Use your Earthquake attack Boldore once more."
Boldore slammed both stinger arms down creating a mighty shockwave that crashed into Electivire and knocked him out cold, keeping Ash lead over Surge in this thunderous battle. Surge returned Electivire and said to his Pokemon he was proud of him and said he should take a long rest. Surge's next pokemon was the shocking spider Galvantula. Ash was curious why he picked him but was on guard, so was his Boldore.
Misty and Pikachu watch and why they do so Emolga who was watching from the supports on the roof decided to come down and laned near where Misty was sitting.
"Hey old man. Can you teach another move."
"I am a watching my trainer fight so could it-"
"Guess I learned all you got to offer."
Emolga said, pushing Pikachu's buttons so he will teach her another attack, and her button pressing paid off.
"Fine let's go outside."
The two electric Pokemon heads out to do some training. This time Pikachu decides to test her Thunderbolt on a farther target and maybe even a moving target. Her first attempt she was mere inches from landing it. But who gives a shit about this so back to the fight Boldore got a face full of grass energy balls from Galvantula which did nice damage to Boldore.
"Boldore! hang in there and attack Galvantula with your Stone Edge attack."
Boldore did what Ash commanded of him and formed dagger stones around his body before launching them like a minigun to shred up the shocking spider. The attack seriously scratched up the electric bug type. Surge knew his Pokemon still got some energy in him to brawl with.
"Hit that Boldore with another Energy Ball this time with more energy into it."
Galvantula formed an Energy Ball as big as himself and then some and then let it loose and sore towards Boldore who had not even a prerier of dodging it. The grass attack was enough to make Boldore unable to fight more in the battle between Ash and Surge. Ash returned to Boldore and said he did an incredible job and enjoyed a long rest. Putting Boldore's PokeBall away, Ash grabs the ball that contains his next Pokemon. That next Pokemon was his Combusken and she looked fired up and ready to turn this electric spider into ash, not the trainer the thing you become when you're burned up.
"Combusken attack Galvantula with your Fire Punch attack."
Combusken smiled as she dashed towards Galvantula and struck the electric spider straight in the face knocking him back and clearly did a lot of damage. Surge commanded Galvantula to use his Thunderbolt attack which electrocuted Combusken doing nice damage to her.
"Combusken! hang in there. Use your Aerial Ace attack."
Combusken gives Ash a nod before taking to the ait and soar through the air and slam into Galvantula knocking out the spider Pokemon. Surge was worried since he only had two Pokemon left, though one is his mighty Raichu. Surge is not sure he can take on four Pokemon even with the Pokemon he is about to come out. It was his dangerously powerful Eelektross, the hovering eel like pokemon appearing to short circuit the Combusken.
"Eelektross you got to turn the tide to our side. Use your mighty Acrobatic attack."
Eelektross dash from side to side before crashing into Combusken with a powerful flying type attack. Ash knew Combuskeen got more in her. She got up sent right to Eelektross stupid face a toxic Poison Jab. The attack causes the eel Pokemon to be poison which really pisses Eelektross off.
"Eelektross to hit that Combusken with a Thunder Punch."
Using one of its arm heads to strike Combusken with a shocking strike. Combusken had jello for legs and Ash decided she had done enough and returned her to her metal sphere and picked his next pokemon. It was Ash's best Unova Pokemon with no real debate in this author's opinion, Krookodile the sunglasses wearing dark ground type.
"Krookodile use your Stone Edge attack."
Ash commanded and Krookodile will deliver he forms razor sharp stones before sending them all towards Eelektross doing massive damage really putting the pressure on him and likely one last effective attack will take him out for good. Surge commands Eelektross to use Drain Punch, Ash will not let that Pokemon heal itself, so Ash tells Krookodile to use his Dragon Claw attack. Both charge at each other and Krookodile ducks out of the way of the punch and slashes the side of Eelektross and with it knocks him out leaving Surge with one Pokemon left to possibly change the tide of this battle. Surge's trusted Raichu and this mighty thundering rat was ready to do battle.
"Raichu it's all up to you, use your mighty Brick break attack."
Raichu nodded to his old friend and hopped into the air and brought one of his paws down on Krookodile's face doing good damage due to being a dark type.
"Krookodile hit Raichu with an Earthquake attack."
Krookodile slammed a foot down sending shockwaves towards Raichu doing an insane amount of damage to him. Raichu had been through hell so it will take more than a simple earthquake attack to take him down. Surge commanded Raichu to do another Brick Break but to crank it to eleven.
"Krookodile don't take it without a fight. Use your Dragon Claw attack."
Krookodile nodded towards Ash before covering one of his claws in green draconic energy and the two Pokemon traded blows and while Raichu's attack was super effective, Dragon Claw still hurt Raichu a lot. The two still had more to give in this fight. Ash commands Krookodile to use Earthquake once more and Raichu was seriously wounded and on his last leg.
"Krookodile uses Stone Edge."
"Raichu attacked back with Brick Break."
Raichu head first through a barrage of sharp rocks and it was too much for Raichu and he caused him to fall over and fainted and he felt he failed his master. Surge sighed and walked to Raichu and comforted him before returning him to his Pokeball. Ash gave Krookodile a hug before returning him as well.
"You did well kid here your badge."
Surge hands Ash a golden version of his Vermillion City badge. Ash thanked him and Misty went over and gave Ash a pat on the back for his good performance. But how are Pikachu and Emolga doing on their training? Found out next chapter.
