Chapter 12 At Least This Time It Turned Out Alright
Lugia turned to Ash, a successful smile on his face, He shall try it out a while...
Ash grinned, "Really?"
But you had better try hard to be smart in your technique choices or he will no longer obey. Don't try too hard to impress Charizard, but don't look like a total...
"Loser?" Misty offered.
"Hey!" Ash glared at her.
I rolled my eyes at them, exchanging an exasperated glance with Lugia.
"It couldn't hurt to train your Pokémon a little more, Ash," Brock suggested.
"Yeah. Would you like to have battle, Brock?"
I noticed with amusement that Misty looked slightly perturbed at his not asking her.
"Sure. How about a three-on-three battle?"
"Sure!"
They looked like they were ready to go to it right then, but Misty spoke up in a condescending voice, "Don't you think we should have Mew Teleport us out of here first?"
"Oh. Good idea," Ash looked at me.
I sighed, "Mew."
With a flash we were in a big open field near Indigo Plateau. A perfect spot for a Pokémon battle.
Lugia wasn't conceited, but he was straight to the point, Ash. Mew, Pikachu, and I are strong enough as it is. Perhaps you should work with Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and possibly Charizard?
"Okay."
Brock and Ash spaced themselves apart, then they both threw a Pokéball and shouted out their Pokémon's names simultaneously.
"Bulb!" Bulbsaur growled out challengingly.
"Onix," rumbled Brock's large Rock Pokémon.
"Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!"
"Onix, Bind!"
Bulbasaur's vines came out and slashed across Onix's face. It roared in pain, and attempted to wrap the Grass-type up with its snakelike body.
"Bulbasaur, watch out!" Ash warned.
Bulbasaur jumped out of Onix's path just in time.
"Onix, Rock Throw!" Brock ordered.
With a low rumble, Onix sent a cascade of rocks upon Bulbasaur's head.
"Bulb!" it whimpered, and it was buried beneath them.
"Use your vines to get out!"
"Saur!" it pushed at the rocks weakly, and managed to get out from under them.
"Sleep Powder!"
"Tackle!" Brock ordered.
Bulbasaur sent a large shower of sparkling dust towards Onix, just as the large Pokémon threw itself at Bulbasaur in a Tackle attack.
Onix roared, then its eyes slowly began to close as it tried to keep them open.
Bulbasaur gasped under the weight of the huge rock-snake.
"Bulbasaur, return!" Ash held out a Pokéball that Bulbasaur disappeared into as a red ray of light.
"Onix, come back!" Onix was recalled as well.
Ash and Brock threw more Pokéballs, and this time Vulpix and Charizard came out.
"Two Fire-types," Misty said dryly. "Wonderful."
"Prii?" Togepi questioned.
Pikachu yawned, and I smiled at him. He waved at me happily.
Lugia finally settled down from his area in the air that he had been lightly flapping in, watching the ensuing battle.
"Char-iz! ...Zard chaar zard."
[It'll be easy to beat that rat! ...Provided my trainer actually instructs me to do some effective moves.]
"Vul!" laughed Vulpix.
[Don't be so sure!]
"Charizard! Dig!"
Charizard complied, digging deep beneath the soil.
"Vul?" the fire-fox looked confused.
"When did Charizard learn that move?" Misty wasn't expecting Ash's Fire-type to know a Ground move.
I grinned, I had an extra TM I gave him to use...
She didn't say it, but I could see the question sparkling in her eyes, 'One you had, or one you stole?'
Charizard finally blasted up from the ground, the technique hitting Vulpix and knocking it aside like a limp doll.
"Pix!" it cried, and tried to get to its feet.
But it was too weak.
"Vulpix, return!"
Brock looked determined to give Ash a difficult battle, "Geodude, go!"
"Dude! Geodude!"
"Geodude, Rock Throw!"
"Charizard, Fly!"
Charizard attempted to quickly fly up into the air, but was brought back down to the ground when its weakness was hit by Brock's Pokémon. It was a critical hit, so Charizard was out of the battle.
"Go, Squirtle!"
"Squirtle!" it gurgled, smiling.
"Squirtle, Water Gun!" Ash told it.
"Squirt," it growled, and before Brock could order Geodude to use a move it was hit by a powerful water blast.
"Dude," it moaned.
Squirtle continued its water move, preventing the other Pokémon from escaping.
Geodude fainted.
Brock held out his Pokéball, and called back Geodude.
"Great battle, Ash," Brock held out his hand.
Ash shook it, and turned to high-five Squirtle.
But Squirtle was glowing.
Yes.
It had evolved.
"Wartortle!" it called out joyously.
"Wartortle?" Ash was excited, but wary.
The shelled Water Pokémon held its hand up for a high-five.
With a sigh of relief, Ash clapped his hand against Wartortle's paw.
"Yeah!" he laughed.
I looked towards Lugia. He smiled.
Lugia turned to Ash, a successful smile on his face, He shall try it out a while...
