Brendan Seaview finds himself whisked of to the Hoenn region, known for it's vast nature, after his Dad Norman becomes a Gym Leader. Whilst not too keen on the move, he finds that there is a lot to like about this new world. However, the world's ecosystem is under threat, and Hoenn looks to be the epicentre of this disaster. Can Brendan and his new friends save the world?

Chapter 17: Battle under the Bikers

It was time to continue my trek down Route 110. I looked above to see the Cycle Path. The sound of bells felt like ringing to my ears. (That analogy was terrible).

"Mister, time to battle under the Cyclists!" I looked to see a Youngster. "I'm Timmy, and we are going to battle now!" he demanded.

"Go Poochyena!" he shouted as he sent out the black Pokémon. Nuzleaf used Fake Out. It ran up to Poochyena and clapped its hands, flinching Poochyena. It couldn't move. Next, Nuzleaf used Nature Power. It took in its surroundings. It was in Long Grass, so it became Razor Leaf! Nuzleaf fired multiple sharp leaves at Poochyena. It held on. "Poochyena! Tackle!" Poochyena charged its body into Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf used one more Nature Power however. It used Razor Leaf which knocked out Poochyena.

Afterwards, I withdrew Nuzleaf for Marshtomp. "Let's see how you do against Aron!" Timmy yelled. Out came a small grey Pokémon with a metal face.

Aron

070

Steel/Rock Type

Iron Armor Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

132.3 lbs (60 kg)

This Pokémon has a body of steel. To make its body, Aron feeds on iron ore that it digs from mountains. Occasionally, it causes major trouble by eating bridges and rails.

Marshtomp used Mud Shot and fired a stream of mud at Aron. It almost took it down because Aron's defence was so high. "Aron use Headbutt!" Timmy shouted as Aron charged its head into Marshtomp. Marshtomp finished off Aron with Water Gun, spitting some water at Aron and fainting it.

"Time for my last Pokémon, Electrike!" Timmy shouted. He used a green and yellow Pokémon that stood on hind legs.

Electrike

078

Electric Type

Lightning Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

33.5 lbs (15.2 kg)

Electruke runs faster than the human eye can follow. The friction from running is converted into electricity, which is then stored in this Pokémon's fur.

"Electrike! Tackle!" Electrike charged into Marshtomp. Marshtomp used Mud Shot. Electrike didn't stand a chance.

"Thanks a lot!" said Timmy. "Looks like I will have to train more. I know what, I'll take on the Mauville Gym!" He wandered off past a familiar face; it was May!

"I saw how you battled!" she commended. "However, I have gotten stronger to, so I think it is time to see how we fare against each other!"

"Go Wailmer!" said May. She sent out a fairly large round Pokémon which was blue and yellow. It had a hole on its forehead.

Wailmer

099

Water Type

Ball Whale Pokémon

6'07" (2 m)

286.6 lbs (130 kg)

Wailmer can store water inside its body to transform itself into a ball for bouncing around on the ground. By filling itself up with more water, this Pokémon can elevate the height of its bounces.

I sent out Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf started with Fake Out, flinching Wailmer. Nuzleaf then used Nature Power. It used Razor Leaf. The leaves fired at Wailmer didn't knock it out; it's HP was out of this world. "Wailmer, Rollout!" May said. Wailmer came rolling at Marshtomp. It was pretty weak, but Rollout gets stronger every turn. Nuzleaf used another Nature Power. Wailmer was almost down now. Another Rollout came Nuzleaf's way. Nuzleaf took it. Nuzleaf gave one more Razor Leaf knocking out Wailmer.

"Nice one" May commended. "Go Numel!" She sent out Numel and I sent out Marshtomp. Marshtomp used Water Gun. Numel was down in one.

"Interesting. But how about you take on my newly evolved Grovyle!" She sent out a green Pokémon with leaves on its arms. Grovyle looked familiar.

Grovyle

002

Grass Type

Wood Gecko Pokémon

2'11" (0.9 m)

47.6 lbs (21.6 kg)

The leaves growing out of Grovyle's body are convenient for camouflaging it from enemies in the forest. This Pokémon is a master at climbing trees in jungles.

Treecko -Lv 16 Grovyle

"What do you think? The cute Treecko that you battled on Route 103 is now a Grovyle!" I could see that. I sent out Taillow. "Grovyle, Quick Attack!" May said. Grovyle dashed into Taillow very fast. Taillow came back with Wing Attack. This did a fair bit. "Now Grovyle, Quick Attack again!" Grovyle once again leapt forward and hit Taillow. Taillow used another Wing Attack. Taillow was getting weaker, so it was time to recall it. "Not so fast!" May said. "Grovyle, Pursuit!" Just as I was returning Taillow, Grovyle came up and hit it, knocking Taillow out. "Pursuit is a move that hits Pokémon for a mot of damage if they are being recalled" May said smugly.

I sent out Mightyena. "Grovyle, Fury Cutter!" Grovyle cut Mightyena with a blade on its arm. Mightyena used Bite, but it missed. "Grovyle, Fury Cutter again!" Grovyle once again swiped Mightyena even harder this time. "Fury Cutter is a move that gets stronger every time it is used" May told me. "Plus, it's a Bug Type move, so it's very strong on Mightyena." Mightyena used another Bite and knocked out Grovyle.

"That was great!" May told me. "Well, I guess our next destination is Mauville City."

We went there together.
