Squirtasaur and the Icy Showdown
Jay Barial
Chapter One: Ivytortle vs. Ultra
Jay Barial, a new Super Pokémon trainer, Dee, the old gym leader of the Forest Gym, Agua, a water Pokémon trainer, and Ultra, Jay's first Pokémon, walked out of the Mysterious Mountain where they had discovered Team Rocket trying to trick some Puffy into doing their dirty work.
In the mountain, Jay caught one of the Puffy, which helped him and the others bring the other Puffy to their senses and stop helping Team Rocket.
As the group left, a Puffy handed Jay a piece of metal that had a weird picture of a Pokémon on it.
Now, the group head out of the Mysterious Mountain and towards Congeal City.
"Hey Jay!" said a voice. "You finally got out of the Mysterious Mountain, eh?"
It was Jay's archrival, Blake Oak.
"Hello Blake," said Jay. "You're already here?"
"Already here?" exclaimed Blake. "I've already beaten the gym leader of Congeal City. And by doing that, my Squirtasaur has evolved into Ivytortle!" Blake looked at Ultra. "I see your Ultra's still as weak as ever."
"My Ultra's electric powers are unstoppable," said Jay.
Blake raised an eyebrow. "Your Ultra only knows electric attacks? Your Ultra is a psychic Pokémon too you know." Blake grabbed a Super Ball. "How bout a battle. My Pokémon against your Pokémon."
"Alright," said Jay. He threw a Super Ball. "Flame, I choose you!" Out came Flame, but he was sleeping, still tired from the Puffy's song. "Ugh, Flame, return."
"You sent out a sleeping Pokémon?" Blake began to laugh. "Why don't you use your little Ultra?"
"How about it Ultra?" asked Jay.
Ultra nodded happily.
"We'll just stay over here," said Agua. Dee and Agua, shot back away from the battle.
"Ultra, I choose you buddy," said Jay.
Ultra walked out in front of Jay.
"Ivytortle, do your stuff." Blake's Super Ball opened up and out of the ball appeared a larger version of Squirtasaur.
"Tra!" gasped Ultra.
Jay held up his Pokédex. "Ivytortle, a seed-turtle Super Pokémon. This evolved form of Squirtasaur is a mix of Ivysaur and Wartortle. It is now able to use ice attacks and fighting attacks. Evolves into Venustoise."
Blake smirked evilly. "Ivytortle, let's start things off with and ice punch."
Ivytortle walked up to Ultra, and punched it, sending a cold chill in the punch.
"Ultra, use you thunder shocker," ordered Jay.
"Ultra tra ra! Tra ra," growled Ultra. Electricity shocked Ivytortle. "TRAAAA!"
Ivytortle was sparking with Ultra's electricity. "Your Ultra's attacks aren't strong enough. Ivytortle, freeze whip."
Ivytortle's vines shot out and began whipping Ultra with a cold bitter touch.
"TRA!" Ultra cried.
"Now Ivytortle, finish it off, leaf cannon, now!" ordered Blake.
"Ultra, use your thunder attack," said Jay quickly.
"Ult-TRAAA!" Ultra began to spark. All of a sudden, the clouds above rumbled. Then, thunder shot out of the sky, charged up Ultra, and Ultra unleashed his attack.
Ivytortle shot a number of leafs at Ultra, but they just got hit Ultra's electricity. The thunder attack hit Ivytortle hard.
"I wasn't going to do this," said Blake, "but now you've made me mad. Ivytortle, body slam!"
Ivytortle raised itself up in the air, and slammed down onto Ultra.
"TRRRRRRRA!" Ultra cried.
"Grrr, Talon, I choose you." Jay threw a Super Ball, and Talon popped out.
"Talooon," it said.
"Ah, another Pokémon, eh?" said Blake. "Ivytortle return." Ivytortle popped back into it's Super Ball. "Electric Orb, go!" Out came a familiar looking Pokémon, Electric Orb.
"Talon, razor wind," ordered Jay.
"Electric Orb, you can knock it out in one hit," said Blake. "Electric Orb, ultra shocker."
Talon started to use its razor wind attack, but Electric Orb started spinning around and around Talon, charging up as it did, and then a large thunderbolt hit Talon.
"Talon, return." Talon popped back into the Super Ball. "Alright Blake, you win."
Chapter Two: The Lost Pokémon
Jay ran to the Pokémon Center in the Congeal City as fast as he could. Ultra and Talon were both in bad shape.
"Jay, wait up!" cried Agua and Dee a number of times.
But Jay ignored both the girls.
As Jay ran into the Pokémon Center, he yelled, "I have a Pokémon emergency!"
"Free-Free!" A Butterfree flew down in front of Jay. It looked at his Ultra. "Free-Free!"
A nurse came into the main room with acouple of other Pokémon. "Your Ultra's in bad shape. Let me heal it in the recovery room. Do your other Pokémon need healing?"
Jay nodded and handed her Flame and Talon's Super Ball. "These two also need healing."
"I'll see what I can do." The nurse turned to a Pokémon. "Pidgeot, bring Talon to the bird-type recovery room. Charmeleon, bring Flame to the fire-type recovery room. Raichu, bring Ultra to the electric-type recovery room."
The three Pokémon brought the Pokémon away.
"Hey Jay," said Agua, as she came into the door. "What's going on?"
"I sent Ultra, Talon, and Flame to the recovery room," said Jay. "Why do ya think I'm here?"
"Are you going to wait here all day, or battle this town's gym leader?" asked Dee.
"I'll go with you guys," said Jay. "I just won't be able to use Ultra, Flame, or Talon, that's all."
The three walked out of the Pokémon Center and headed to the gym.
Jay blinked as he said the name of the gym. "'The Ice Gym, home to all ice Pokémon and their trainers.' Look out Ice Gym, my Pokémon and I are ready to defeat your icy Pokémon. With Ultra and his electric attacks, this should be no problem. Along with Flame and it's fire attacks. Talon will be able to blow this guys away!"
"Jay," said Agua, "all those Pokémon are in the recovery room!"
"Oh yeah." Jay frowned. "None of my other Pokémon can beat those ice Pokémon though!"
"Squirtasaur!" All of a sudden, vines hit Jay, Agua, and Dee. The marks the vines left were rather cold.
"Ouchies!" They all cried. "Hey! Who did that?"
There, on its four legs, stood a little Squirtasaur.
"Hey," said Jay, "it's a Squirtasaur! I'll battle it and capture it! Double, Orb, Puffy, go-"
"Hey wait," said Dee. "I think this is a trained Pokémon."
"Why do you think that?" asked Jay.
"I just have a feeling," said Dee. "Squirtasaur knows freeze whip. In the wild, Squirtasaur can only use vine whip. Then, a trainer can teach it freeze whip."
"Maybe it's lost," suggested Agua.
"Squirt ta!" agreed Squirtasaur.
"Hey," said Jay, "maybe he is with the Ice Gym! I mean, Squirtasaur does evolve into an ice Pokémon."
"Yeah," said Dee. She opened the doors.
Jay, Agua, and Dee stepped in.
"Come on little Squirt-" began Agua. "Hey where'd it go?" The Squirtasaur was gone.
"Guess it didn't want to come in here after all," said Jay.
"Are you three may next challenge?" asked a female voice.
Chapter Three: Showdown Time
"Are you three my next challenge?" asked a female voice.
"Yeah," said Agua. "I'll go first."
"Alright." A woman appeared. "I am the Karen, the gym leader. We will use two Pokémon each in our battle. Come, we will go to the arena now."
* * * *
Karen stood on one side of the arena and Agua on the other.
"Alright," said Agua. "Blob, go!" She threw a Super Ball, and out came Blob, the water sack Pokémon.
"Tentablast, go!" Karen threw a Super Ball, and out came a large Pokémon, which looked like a mix between Tentacruel and Blastoise.
"Blob, we can stop this thing," said Agua. "Water blast!"
Blob began to open it's mouth when Karen shouted, "Tentablast, stop it with acid attack."
All of a sudden, Tentablast spat out acid. The acid landed in Blob's mouth.
"BLOOOOOOB!" it cried. It ran around the room, screaming in pain.
"Blob, return." Blob popped back into the Super Ball. Agua grabbed another Super Ball. "Diver, your turn!"
The invisible Pokémon popped out of the Super Ball.
"Ah, Diver." Karen smirked. "Tentablast, return now." She grabbed another Super Ball. "Ivytortle, go!"
A Super Ball hurled through the air, and out came Ivytortle.
"Uh oh," said Jay. "Agua might loose."
"Yeah," said Dee. "You lost to Blake's Ivytortle, so Agua would surely lose to a gym leader's Ivytortle."
"Gee, thanks for the helpful info guys," said Agua. "Diver, water wall."
"Ivytortle, brake through the wall with razor leaf," ordered Karen.
"Agua," said Dee. "Ivytortle has the advantage. Ivytortle's a ice/water and plant/poison Pokémon."
All of a sudden, Ivytortle's razor leaf attack broke through Agua's Diver's shield.
"Ivytortle, vine grip," ordered Karen. "Crush that thing."
Ivytortle's vines shot out, and tried to rap them around Diver, but it couldn't.
"Ha," said Agua. "Diver is made of pure water. You can't get a grip on it."
"Fine then," said Karen. "Ivytortle, growth!"
All of a sudden, Ivytortle grew larger.
"Diver, water wave!" ordered Agua.
"Block it with grass shield," ordered Karen.
A large amount of grass surrounded Karen's Ivytortle.
"Ivytortle, stun spore," ordered Karen.
Ivytortle shot out a strange powder onto Diver. Diver became paralyzed.
"Diver, return." Diver popped back into the Super Ball.
****WHO'S THAT POKéMON: STVIUNOE?****
Chapter Four: The Pokémon's Revenge!
****IT'S VENUSTOISE! "VEEEEN!"****
"Diver, return," ordered Agua. The Pokémon went back into the Super Ball. "You win. Dee, it's your turn. I'll be in the Pokémon Center. Jay, Flame should be healed by now, and maybe Talon and Ultra too."
Jay nodded. "You can handle defeating Karen for us Dee?"
"Sure can." She smiled. "Fearow and Birdy should be able to handle Tentablast and Ivytortle."
Jay and Agua walked out of the gym. As they did, Jay noticed the Squirtasaur.
"Hey little guy," said Jay. "Why didn't you want to come into the Ice Gym? I mean, you may be a plant type, but you're also a water type. Then, when you evolve into Venustoise, you'll learn ice attacks."
"Squirt," it said flatly.
"I don't think it wants to go back in there," said Agua. "I think Karen use to be it's trainer."
"Saur," it answered.
"So Karen left Squirtasaur, so it could be lost," said Jay. "Squirtasaur, do you want to show Karen you are strong by battling her? It'll help you and me. But you don't haveta be my Pokémon, you just have to help me. Okay?"
"Squirtasaur." The little Pokémon nodded.
* * * *
Jay, Agua, and Squirtasaur walked into the Pokémon Center.
"Jay," said the nurse, "your Flame has fully recovered. But Talon and Ultra still need to be recovered." The nurse handed Jay Flame's Super Ball.
"Thank you," he said.
"My Diver and Blob just got beat up by Karen's Tentablast and Ivytortle," said Agua.
"You mean the two Pokémon that Karen didn't raise," said nurse. "She's not the best Pokémon trainer. She caught those Pokémon wild, and they don't know some of the attacks Squirtasaur and Tentacle know. She just lets the Pokémon fight. She doesn't teach them any new moves. She only cares for the Pokémon until it evolves into it's-"
"Strongest stage," finished Jay. "Squirtasaur, let's show them how 'weak' you are."
* * * *
Jay and Squirtasaur walked into the gym.
"Birdy, finish it off, fire spin," ordered Dee.
Her Birdy spun around Ivytortle, surrounding it with fire.
"Ivytortle, break through the fire," ordered Karen. "Use your hydro pump attack!"
All of a sudden, water started bursting through the ground. The water hit Birdy, and the Pokémon went flying to the ground.
"Birdy, return!" The Pokémon popped back into the Super Ball. Dee ran out the door heading to the Pokémon Center. "Good luck Jay!" she called back.
"Ah, my next challenge," said Karen. "Ivytortle, return!" It popped back into the Super Ball. "You know the rule. Two Pokémon only. Tentablast, go!" The large mix between Tentacruel and Blastoise came out of the Super Ball.
"Flame, here we go!" The Super Ball hurled through the air, and out came Flame.
"Grip it with your tentacles," ordered Karen. "Make sure that Flame doesn't attack."
Tentablast's tentacles shot out, and rapped around Flame.
"Flame, bite them," said Jay. "Bite 'em hard!"
Flame's sharp teeth bit down onto Tentablast's tentacles. The Tentablast screamed in pain.
"Tentablast, ice beam," ordered Karen. "Freeze that Flame!"
Chapter Five: Squirtasaur, and the Icy Showdown!
Tentablast's tentacles all moved down, so the tip of the tentacles were in the middle of it's chest. Then a blast of ice shot out of them.
"Flame, melt the ice with your fire beam attack," ordered Jay.
"FLAAAAAAAAME!" Fire bursted out of Flame's mouth. The beam of fire hit the beam of ice. The ice began to melt.
"Flame, raging fire!" ordered Jay. "Finish it off."
Flame opened it's mouth and a large amount of fire, ten times stronger than flamethrower, hit Tentablast. When the fire cleared, Tentablast was fried.
"Tentablast, return," ordered Karen. "You're Pokémon are strong. But their no match for, Ivytortle, go!"
A Super Ball hurled through the air, and out came the large Ivytortle.
"Squirtasaur, I choose you," said Jay.
Squirtasaur walked out in front of Jay. "Squirta."
All of a sudden, Ivytortle began to glow and grow.
"It's evolving," said Karen. "Yes Ivytortle, it's time to show them your true power. You've evolved into Venustoise."
A large Pokémon with the mix features of Venusaur and Blastoise appeared where Ivytortle stood.
"Your wimpy Squirtasaur is no match for it's evolved form," said Karen.
"She caught those Pokémon wild, and they don't know some of the attacks Squirtasaur and Tentacle know," the nurse has said.
"So Squirtasaur does have a chance," said Jay.
"Squirt?" wondered Squirtasaur.
"Venustoise, start things off with freeze whip," ordered Karen. "I know, you usually don't use that attack, but hey, might as well try it out on this wimp. Venustoise, freeze whip!"
"Venus?" wondered Venustoise. Vine whip?
"Squirta! Squirta!" laughed Squirtasaur. "Squirtasaur, squirt squirta!" You never learned freeze whip!
"Squirtasaur, freeze whip," ordered Jay.
Squirtasaur's vine shot out and started whipping Venustoise.
"Grrr," growled Karen. "I was going easy on you. Venustoise, arctic freeze! Stop that Pokémon in it's tracks!"
Venustoise opened it's mouth, sending a cold blast of air at Squirtasaur.
"Squirtasaur, use your burn powder," ordered Jay.
A strange powder shot out of Jay's Squirtasaur's bulb. The heat melted the Venustoise's arctic freeze attack.
"Squirtasaur, water blast!" ordered Jay.
Squirtasaur's head popped into it's shell, as did it's tail, legs, and arms.
"Venustoise, body slam," ordered Karen.
"Now, blast!" shouted Jay.
Where the arm, leg, tail and head hole were, water starting shooting out at Venustoise. Doing that, Venustoise's attack missed.
"Venustoise, tackle attack," ordered Karen.
"Stoise?" wondered Venustoise. "Venus?" Tackle attack? Huh?
"You caught an Ivytortle, so it doesn't know the attacks it could have learned in the Squirtasaur stage," said Jay proudly.
Chapter Six: The Finale
"Squirtasaur, quick attack," ordered Jay.
"Again," said Karen, "body slam."
Squirtasaur came running at Venustoise at top speed. Venustoise raised itself up high, then Squirtasaur came running at him, and knocked him over.
"Grrr," grumbled Karen, "Venustoise, arctic blast! Stop the Pokémon!"
"Venus," growled the Pokémon. All of sudden, a beam of ice shot down into Venustoise's plant on it's back.
"Squirtasaur, harden!" ordered Jay.
Squirtasaur popped into it's shell for protection, and then it glowed and grew thicker.
Venustoise shot the beam of ice attack Squirtasaur. The room was filled with ice and mist. Neither Jay nor Karen could see what happened to Squirtasaur.
When the mist finally cleared, Squirtasaur was hiding in it's shell.
"Yeah!" cried Jay. "Squirtasaur's still here!"
"STOISE?!" exclaimed Venustoise.
Squirtasaur popped it's head out of the shell. "Squirta squirt!"
Venustoise glared at the little Squirtasaur.
"Squirtasaur, leaf rain," said Jay.
Squirtasaur nodded. Leafs shot out from it's bulb. Then, the leafs shot down at a fast speed hitting Venustoise.
"Venustoise, ice beam," said Karen.
Venustoise's eyes glowed. Then, an inch of ice shot out of Venustoise's eyes. "Venus?"
"You're Venustoise is too tired out too use ice beam," said a voice.
Jay turned around to see Dee, and Agua walking up behind her.
"And," said Agua, adding on to Dee's comment, "your Venustoise is out of ice. None of it's ice attacks will work!"
"Venustoise, recharge," ordered Karen.
"Squirtasaur, use your ultimate attack," ordered Jay. "LEAF STORM!"
Squirtasaur's leafs shot up. Then, clouds seemed to form in the gym. Then the leafs shot down, stronger and harder than before. They hit Venustoise rather hard.
"Venustoise, body slam," ordered Karen.
Venustoise lifted itself in the air, but was too weak to do the attack, and just fell down on the ground.
Chapter Seven: Team Rocket's Attack!
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Squirtasaur walked out of the Ice Gym. Jay had the Freeze Badge pinned onto the inside of his jacket.
The four walked back to the Pokémon Center
"Tra! Ultra!" came cry, as the four walked into the center.
"It's Ultra!" said Jay happily
Ultra jumped up into Jay's hands.
"Squirta," murmured Squirtasaur. "Saur." He began to walk out of the Pokémon Center.
"Tra!" Ultra hopped out of Jay's arms, and walked over to Squirtasaur.
They had a little talk and Squirtasaur and Ultra walked over to Jay. Ultra said, "Ultra Tra!"
"You want him to come with us?" asked Jay.
"Squirt!" agreed Squirtasaur.
"Touching, but unfortunately, Squirtasaur, your Ultra, and the rest of your Pokémon, are ours," said a female voice.
"And the rest of the Pokémon in this center," said a male voice.
"So get ready," finished another male voice.
"Prepare for trouble," said Mike.
"And you can make that double, double," said Nick.
"To protect the world from devastation," growled Kelly.
"To bind all bad guys within our nation," said Fire Kat.
"To announce the evils of truth and love," continued Mike.
"The extend our reach to the stars above," continued Nick.
"Mike!"
"Nick."
"And Kelly."
Then Fire Kat hopped up and said, "Fiiiiiire-Kat, that's right!"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light," said Kelly.
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight. . . ," began Fire Kat.
"All of us!" they finished.
"Squirtasaur, this should be easy," said Jay. "Squirtasaur, water cannon."
Squirtasaur shot a large amount of water at Team Rocket, and sent them flying.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they all cried.
"Squirtasaur, you're going with us," said Jay. Jay threw a Super Ball, and in popped Squirtasaur.
"Alright Jay," said the nurse. "Your Talon is back to normal health."
The Butterfree at the Pokémon Center flew over to Jay holding a Super Ball. It handed it to Jay.
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra walked out of the Pokémon Center.
"So, where to next?" asked Jay.
"There's a gym near a port that is in a really good city," said Dee.
"Yeah!" cried Jay.
"But to get there, we have to pass through these five gyms to move on," said Dee. "Defeat them, and move onto a forest with many Ultra live."
"Cool," said Jay. "Let's go!"
Will Jay, Dee, Agua, and their Pokémon be able to pass through the five gyms? Only the future can see. Will Jay pass the first gym in The Five Gyms: Part 1 - The Fighting Gym.
