Jay Barial
Chapter One: The Rare Pokémon
Jay Barial, his friend and former leader of the Lost Forests' gym, Dee, his annoying ally, Agua, and his first Super Pokémon, Ultra, walked towards the next gym. Little did they know trouble was about to show its face.
"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.
"With our secret plan, we'll catch Jay, Dee, and Agua's Pokémon," said Mike.
"And with them," said Nick, "we'll rule the world!"
"And we'll have rare and powerful Pokémon," said Kelly.
"Their Pokémon are rare?!" exclaimed Fire Kat. "I've seen Metapod more rare than those things!"
"Have you seen that Ultra?" said Mike. "He's a powerful Pokémon. His Talon, Double, Flame, and Puffy are strong and smart too. And with his new, Squirtasaur and Bulk, his Pokémon are strong enough to rule Team Rocket!"
"Dee's Fearow and Birdy's power's are stronger than they look," said Nick. "Those two, along with her other rare Pokémon Artic, and Jay's Talon, blew us away in the Mysterious Mountain."
"And Agua's Blob was able to stop a Fire Star," said Kelly, "or so Fire Kat says. Diver is invisible, and quick. It'll make a perfect Pokémon."
"Yeah," said Fire Kat, "a new addition to the team might work. I mean, Gasie and Snake Eyes are kinda sad. But now that we caught that Abra and taught it fighting moves and new psychic attacks. . ."
"Team Rocket will rule," the all said.
Chapter Two: Abra, Gasie, Snake Eyes, and Fire Kat
vs.
Double, Birdy, Blob, and Ultra
Jay, Agua, Dee, and Ultra walked along the path to the next gym, when all of the sudden . . .
A Poké Ball and two Super Balls hurled threw the air.
"And don't forget Fiiiiiire Kat," shouted a Pokémon.
"It's Team Rocket!" exclaimed Jay.
"It's time for the official good guys against Team Rocket battle," said Kelly. "Four Pokémon each."
Out of the balls came Abra, Gasie, and Snake Eyes. Fire Kat walked up to them. "Let's show them what we can do!"
"Alright," said Jay. "Ultra, you ready?"
Ultra nodded. "Ult-tra."
"Double, Ultra, I choose you," said Jay.
"Blob, go!" ordered Agua.
"Birdy, come out," said Dee.
The four Pokémon came before them.
"Fire Kat, handle Ultra," ordered Kelly. "Abra, attack the Double."
"Gasie, poison that Birdy," ordered Nick.
"Snake Eyes, burst the Blob," ordered Mike.
"Blob," said Agua, "use water cannon!"
Blob shot a blast of water into Snake Eyes' mouth.
"Blob," said Agua, "body slam."
Blob began to bounce and then slammed down onto Snake Eyes.
"Birdy" said Dee calmly, "wrap that the Gasie up with fire spin."
Birdy flew around in a circle, and fire surrounded Gasie. Gasie couldn't move. Birdy was wining.
"Birdy, finish it off," said Dee. "Quick gusts."
A number of gust shot out at Gasie.
"Double," said Jay, "transform into a mixture of all the Pokémon that are out."
Double transformed into a strange Pokémon that looked like Abra, Gasie, Snake Eyes, Fire Kat, Ultra, Blob, and Birdy.
"Abra," said Kelly, "teleport."
"Double, hit Abra with your psychic spin," ordered Jay.
A burst of psychic powers surrounded Abra, paralyzing him, and forcing him not to move.
"Pokémon, return." Team Rocket's Pokémon shot back into their balls.
"Fire Kat," said Kelly, "stop the Ultra."
"Ultra," said Jay, "you can handle Fire Kat."
"Ult-Tra," agreed Ultra.
"Eh, that Ultra's cat food," said Fire Kat.
"Fire Kat," said Kelly, "leer attack."
Fire Kat stared at Ultra, making Ultra's defense fall.
"Ultra, thunderbolt," ordered Jay.
"Ult tra ra," said Ultra. Electricity began to charge up around Ultra. "Ra tra. Ul... ultra tra." It charged up some more. "TRA!" It shot a large amount of electricity at Fire Kat. When the electricity was gone, Fire Kat was a wreck.
"Ultra," said Jay, "bite it's tail."
Ultra sunk it's teeth into Fire Kat's tail.
"KAAAAAAAAT!" cried Fire Kat. "Help! Get that rat away from me!" Fire Kat ran to Kelly.
"Ultra, blow them away with a psywave," ordered Jay.
Psychic waves shot out of Ultra's eyes. They sent Team Rocket flying.
"Team Rocket's losing again!" they all shouted.
Chapter Three: The Poison Gym
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra walked over to the next gym.
"This is a poison gym, right?" asked Jay. "So Squirtasaur will have to battle, right?"
"Yeah," said Dee. "And so will Birdy."
Jay glared at Agua. "And yet again, you aren't battling."
"Hey," said Agua. "Blob, Diver, and Magikarp aren't psychic Pokémon."
"Tra?" asked Ultra.
"Yeah buddy," said Jay, "you won't be able to battle this on either."
Ultra frowned.
Jay threw a Super Ball up into the air. "Go, Squirtasaur!"
"Squirta!" the Pokémon shouted.
"Birdy, come out," said Dee. She threw the ball high into the air.
"Bir-De," the Pokémon said happily.
"Alright," said Jay, "let's head into the poison gym!"
Jay, Dee, Squirtasaur, and Birdy headed to the Poison gym, with Ultra and Agua coming from behind.
The six of them walked into the gym.
"Ah," said three younger trainers, "a new challenge."
One glared at Ultra. "What's the psychopath rat doing here? Poison Pokémon only!"
Ultra began to charge up.
"Ultra," said Jay, "don't attack. You have to control your anger." Jay turned to the trainer. "It's not a psychopath rat, it's my Ultra! And I'm not going to use him to battle! I'm going to use my Squirtasaur!"
"Hey," said another trainer. "Squirtasaur's a water type Pokémon!"
"Yeah," said Jay, "but it's also a plant and poison type."
"But," said the last trainer, "you'll need to use three Pokémon each."
"Three?" asked Jay.
"We have Birdy and our secret weapon," said Dee. Birdy perked on her shoulder.
"Gideon," said the first trainer, "we have another trainer!"
A kid around their age walked up out of a chair.
"Ah, my next challenge," said Gideon. "The only Pokémon trainer I'm proud of is this Blake Oak I just battled."
"Ugh." Jay flinched. "Blake was here?"
"It was a great match," said Gideon. "His Pokémon and his training skills amazed me and the other five gyms."
"He's already been through the Five Gyms?" moaned Jay.
"He's at the psychic gym right now," said Gideon. "But back to our match."
Jay nodded. "Right. It'll be a tag team." He pointed to her. "My Pokémon and her Pokémon will battle your Pokémon."
****WHO'S THAT POKéMON: ERTVOTYIL?****
Chapter Four: Birdy's Challenge
****IT'S IVYTORTLE! "Tortle!"****
"My Birdy will go first," said Dee. "Let's go Birdy."
Birdy flew off Dee's shoulder.
Agua and Ultra sat down to watch.
"As my Pokémon," said Gideon, "I choose, Muk, go!"
Out of the Poké Ball came a large sludge Pokémon.
"Uh, that's a Pokémon?" wondered Jay. "Alright then, Birdy, show it your powers."
"Birdy," said Dee, "peck attack."
Birdy shot down at Muk
"Muk, poison gas," ordered Gideon.
Fumes shot out around Muk. Birdy slowed down, and shot back up.
"Birdy," said Dee, "don't give up so quickly! Leer attack."
"Muk," ordered Gideon, "sludge!"
Muk shot sludge out at Birdy. Birdy quickly dodge the shots.
"That Muk's strong," said Jay.
"Birdy, fire spin," ordered Dee.
"Muk, dive down," ordered Gideon.
Muk slipped through the cracks, and disappeared into the ground.
Birdy was confused about Muk's whereabouts.
"Muk, dig," ordered Gideon.
Muk shot out of the ground and hit Birdy.
Birdy hit the ground.
"Muk," said Gideon, "finish it of with your sludge attacks, tackle attacks, and then use your body slam. It won't be able to last."
"Muk's going to body slam Birdy," cried Jay. "Squirtasaur's going to have to finish the job."
Muk shot sludge at Birdy tackled it a number of times.
All of a sudden, Birdy's flames grew.
Everyone gasped.
"Is it evolving?" wondered Jay. He held up his Pokédex.
"Rage," said the Pokédex. "When attacked, Birdy's attack will grow until it's enemy falls."
"Birdy, razor wing," ordered Dee,
Birdy started slicing at Muk.
"Muk, stop attacking," ordered Gideon. But, Muk ignored him.
"It's about to do body slam," said Agua, "Birdy can't take that attack!"
"Birdy," said Dee, "stop him with flamethrower."
"Bir-Deeeeeeee!" Flame shot from Birdy's mouth and started burning Muk.
"Muk, return." Muk popped back into the Poké Ball. Gideon nodded. "Your Pokémon, but I am not sure about your friend. Bring out your Pokémon."
"Squirtasaur, I choose you." Squirtasaur, who had been waiting next to him, walked in front of Jay.
Chapter Five: A squirt of a Squirtasaur
"A water Pokémon?" asked Gideon. "That wasn't too smart. Poison Pokémon have an advantage of water. You Pokémon handling will mean your Squirtasaur's fall. That squirt of a Squirtasaur can't handle my Pokémon." He grabbed a Poké Ball. "Weezing, come out!"
Out of a Poké Ball, came a Weezing.
"Squirtasaur," said Jay, "tackle attack."
Squirtasaur ran up and tackled Weezing.
"You think that's going to stop Weezing?" Gideon laughed. "Weezing, poison gas attack."
"Squirtasaur, vine whip," ordered Jay.
Squirtasaur's vines shot out and started slapping Gideon's Weezing. It started spinning around in the air. It shot out a puff of gas here and there but nothing deadly.
"Squirtasaur," said Jay, "freeze whip."
Not only did Squirtasaur's vine whipping get harder, but it felt cold as the slapped Weezing, sending him spinning.
"Grrr," growled Gideon. "I wasn't going to use this, but now you've done it! Weezing, POISON BITE!"
Weezing bit one of Squirtasaur's vines.
"SQUIIIIIIIIRT!" cried Squirtasaur.
"Does Squirtasaur know rage?" Jay asked his Pokédex.
"Squirtasaur does not know the attack, rage," it answered.
"Weezing, slam," ordered Gideon.
Weezing slammed down onto Squirtasaur.
All of a sudden, Squirtasaur tackled it again.
"Squirtasaur, return," ordered Jay. A red beam shot at Squirtasaur, but he dodged them.
"He doesn't want to quit," said Dee.
"Squirtasaur!" cried Jay.
Squirtasaur decided it was time for a stronger attack. It did razor leaf.
Weezing dodged the leafs.
"Squirtasaur," said Jay, "you're going to need to use a stronger attack! Squirtasaur, leaf rain!"
"Weezing," said Gideon, "get prepared."
Leafs from Squirtasaur's bulb shot up straight into the air. Then leafs started raining hard onto Weezing.
"Weezing!" cried Gideon.
"Squirtasaur, finish it off," said Jay, "leaf cannon!"
Squirtasaur shot leafs at Weezing.
"Weezing, return!" ordered Gideon. He grabbed a Super Ball. "Who's your next Pokémon?"
Squirtasaur was too tired out to battle, but then, it started glowing and began to grow.
"Squirtasaur?" wondered Jay.
"It's," began Dee. "It's evolving!"
Chapter Six: Ivytortle vs. Smoggie
When Squirtasaur stopped growing, it had evolved into Ivytortle.
"Ah," said Gideon, "so that's your third Pokémon, eh?" He threw the Super Ball, "Smoggie come out!"
Out came a large ugly mixture of Muk and Weezing.
Jay held up his Pokédex to Ivytortle. "What is Ivytortle's type?"
"Ivytortle is a fighting, poison, plant, and water Super Pokémon," it replied.
"Alright then," said Jay, "Ivytortle, poison punch!"
Ivytortle punched Smoggie and number of times. Poison gases shot out of Smoggie's mouth as Ivytortle punched.
"Smoggie, toxic," ordered Gideon.
"Ivytortle," said Jay, "leaf shield!"
Leafs shot from the ground, shielding Ivytortle from Smoggie's toxic attack.
"This is hardly a battle," said Jay. "Ivytortle, body slam!"
The leafs surrounded Ivytortle dropped, and Ivytortle slammed down onto Smoggie.
"Ivytortle," said Jay, "it's time for your special attack! Leaf storm!"
Leafs shot out of Ivytortle's back and into the sky.
"Smoggie," said Gideon, "poison screen!"
Smoggie shot gas in every direction so nobody could get through him without being harmed by his poison gases.
"You forget," said Jay, "Ivytortle's a poison Pokémon! Ivytortle, LEAF RAIN!"
Leafs shot down from the sky and hit Smoggie, cutting him in a number of places. He fainted.
"Yeah," said Jay. He turned to Dee. "We beat the poison gym!"
"Ultra!" Ultra gave a peace sign with his small fingers.
"Tortle," agreed Ivytortle.
"De-de!" cowed Birdy. "Bir-De!"
"Hmmm." Agua smiled.
Chapter Seven: On to the Water Gym
Jay, Agua, Dee, and Ultra walked out of the poison gym, proud that they had made it through.
"It's too bad that I can't help you guys battle," said Agua.
"What do you mean?" Jay stopped, as did Dee and Ultra.
Agua flinched. "I mean, I can't help you guys, because I don't have the right Pokémon."
"Tra?" wondered Ultra.
"Yeah," said Jay. "Really?"
They're catching onto my secret, thought Agua. "So Dee," said Agua changing the subject, "what's the next gym we're going to? The evolution gym or the psychic gym?"
"The water gym," Dee answered.
Agua flinched.
"It's faster than heading towards the evolution or psychic gym."
Agua sighed. "Fine then. I guess I could battle there."
"Yeah!" said Jay happily. "On to the water gym!"
What is Agua's big secret? Why is Agua against going to the water gym. What new challenges lies away? All your question will be answered in The Five Gyms - Part 3: The Water Gym.
