Disclaimer: Pokémon and the characters aren't mine, blah.
As he climbed the mountain many different people had challenged Steve to a fight. After his thirteenth battle he wished Zack wouldn't bug him so much.
(What kind of an attitude is that for the future champion? Come on Steve. Show me how tough you are.)
"Even I have limits. I might not have found them yet, but my pokémon are getting more tired every time I have to fight someone. As if that weren't everything I have to face, you also force these people to fight their pokémon as hard as they can some to the point they can't move after a match. I have to be careful not to kill any of them. For being so protective of the pokémon as you are, you shouldn't be making it so hard on them to beat me."
(It's not me that fight you. It's the trainer. I might get them to fight you, but I no longer control them once the fight begins. If the trainer has some compassion, he will stop the battle as soon as it becomes clear that you will defeat him. If it's a harsh trainer, they won't stop until their pokémon can't fight anymore. As you can see this isn't safe for the pokémon. These people are dangerous. My plan will eliminate these types of people. Do you not see my side now?)
"Sorry, but you threaten my mom, me and all my friends. I can't let you get away with that. Zack, here I come!"
After this conversation Steve continued to climb up the mountain. Near the top an aerodactyl swooped at his head.
"Who's there? Why are you attacking me?" Steve yelled at whoever could hear.
"Steve, I told you not to expect mercy. This battle will take place now. We will see who is better and who will fight Zack! Prepare yourself!"
With that, Joseph told his aerodactyl to attack Steve again. Steve let out his blastoise and got ready for the battle ahead. The blastoise shot both his cannons at the aerodactyl. The aerodactyl fought against this with his hyper beam attack. Both collided together making the water spray everywhere. The blastoise took the opportunity and used a blizzard on the awaiting aerodactyl. As the ice shards gathered around the aerodactyl, it gathered heat around it's body to help melt the ice. Both pokémon backed away from the fight and stared at it's competitor. Instantly the fight was back on.
(This guy's good. How can I beat him? He counters every attack I make. Damn. There's got to be some way of… okay… I see it.)
"Blastoise, create a solid ice pillar on the ground into the air."
As the blastoise started using ice beam, ice was freezing in the cold air and started to collect together. The pillars were in a systematic order. The blastoise started moving around the pillars ad using them for cover while looking for a spot to attack aerodactyl from.
"Nice try, Steve, but it won't work. Aerodactyl use your hyper beam to break those pillars apart."
As the aerodactyl charged up his hyper beam the blastoise attacked with hydro pump from behind. The aerodactyl noticed the attack, but had no time to evade the attack before it hit. The aerodactyl fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Damn, you are good. You won't beat that old man though. Your pokémon are too slow. Anyway, you took too much time. The battles will be over soon. You have five minutes to reach the summit before he leaves. Looks like I win in the end. You'll never make it in time." Joseph started to laugh at Steve who had started running up the mountain.
As Steve reached the summit he saw the old man flying away.
"Your pokémon are too tired to battle me now. I'm moving to a different town. Just try and find me. I'll guide you there, of course, but I won't stay stationary for too long. I'll give you a week to find me and defeat me in a match. Good-bye for now, Steve."
"Bastard, I'll catch you. If you can't wait for me then I'll knock you out of the sky. Go fearow!"
As the fearow appears, a different pokémon appears and seems to be holding it in place, yet it never touched the fearow.
"What is that? I've never seen that pokémon before."
(Don't fear me. I will not let you attack my master, unless he allows you to in a fight. Since he is flying away he can't do much to stop your attack. However, I can. If you persist in trying to attack my defenseless master I will be forced to destroy your fearow.)
"What are you though? I should know what you are. I will leave your master alone if you will tell me."
(Fine. I am a mew. I am the only one in existence. Now I have told you. Leave this place now. Good-bye.)
As the mew floated out of sight, Steve felt a new emergence of hatred. (He expected me to try and attack hi while he was leaving. I guess I'm just as dishonorable as he thinks I am. I've got to beat him now, but that mew is one strong pokémon. Stopped my fearow just with a look. I'll find you and defeat you, Zack.)
