Chapter 8
ܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤܤ
"This will be a four on four Pokemon battle. The trainer with the last Pokemon standing wins. No time limit. Let the battle begin!!" Carol rang the small bell provided for the referee.
"Go, Cyndaquil!!" Sari yelled. The tiny fire mouse emerged from its Pokeball, charging up the flame on its back until it burned bright and ready.
They had gone up to one of the battle areas on the 6th floor, a glass enclosed arena, much smaller than the usual ones but still serving its function well enough. Carol was refereeing this match as well, while Kris sat on one of the benches on the sidelines to watch.
"I choose Vaporeon," Lionel said calmly, throwing the Pokeball onto the ground with a flick of his wrist. The sleek aqua blue Eevee evolution seemingly flowed out of her Pokeball, standing alert and ready on the battlefield, her tail held confidently high.
"Going for the type advantage again, cousin?" Sari mocked. "You know better than to underestimate the powers of my little Cyndaquil." Turning to the Pokemon beside her, she said encouragingly, "Remember our training sessions!! Give it everything you've got!!"
"Piii CHU!!" cried the Pichu on Sari's shoulder. "Cynda!!" replied the fire rodent, cousin of the electric one. "Cyndaquil!!"
"Go, Vaporeon!!" Lionel yelled suddenly. "Water Gun!!"
"Cyndaquil!! Dodge it!!" Sari called, throwing her arm to the right.
The little female Cyndaquil pranced effortlessly to the right, effectively dodging the Water Gun aimed by the water-typed Eon.
"Now, Flame Wheel!!"
A ball of flame collected in the Pokemon's mouth, who spat it in the direction of Vaporeon, the ball of fire spiraling as it went.
Lionel called out a command quickly. "Acid Armour, then dodge!!"
The Eon shimmered and disappeared as the Flame Wheel reached her. Unfortunately, being unable to dodge it quick enough, the fire encircled the now-invisible Water-type, causing her to reappear again. She yelped as the fire swirled around her then dissipated into the air above. Although she was a Water-type, and therefore not vulnerable to Fire, she was still hurt. Panting lightly, she turned and faced her opponent defiantly.
"Surf!!"
A wave of water rushed towards Sari's Pokemon, causing the Fire-type to cower and whimper in fear.
"Withdraw your flame and protect yourself!!" Sari shouted. The fire mouse allowed her flame to cool and disappear, then crouched in a protective stance, allowing the water to wash over her. When the water attack ended, the flame flared up again, and the Cyndaquil looked up, weakened but still going fairly strong.
{A/N: Did you notice that in the show where Ash and Co. and their Pokemon take and break and while retrieving the ball which they were playing with, Cyndaquil was actually in the water while they floated on the Snorlax. I wonder why he/she didn't faint. =S }
"Flaming Swift attack, Cyndaquil!!" Sari called, her face grim.
The Cyndaquil squeaked affirmation; flaming stars came shooting out of the fire on her back. The stars hit Vaporeon straight in the face, causing the Water-type to whimper in pain as they hit her eyes. Pawing at her eyes, Vaporeon shrieked frantically.
"Vaporeon is unable to battle." Carol said after inspecting the hurt Eon.
"Vaporeon, return. You did a great job." Lionel picked up another Pokeball after reattaching Vaporeon's to his belt and flicked it into the ring without saying anything. A Jolteon appeared in a flash of light.
"Jolt jolt," the spiky yellow Eon growled.
"Cyndaquil, return and rest!! You did a great job!!" Sari cooed as the fire mouse returned to her Pokeball. "Go on, Pav, you're up."
The little Pichu bounced off her shoulder and stood in the battlefield, smiling cutely at his opponent. Not knowing what to make of this, the Jolteon looked back in confusion at his master, as if to say, "you want me to attack this little thing?"
Taking advantage of Jolteon's momentary confusion, Sari called, "Quick Attack, now!!"
The smiling Pichu turned into a flash of yellow as he streaked across the battlefield to connect solidly with the side of Jolteon's face. The Electric-type Eon stumbled back as the electric mouse bounded back to the other side. As the Eon growled in irritation, Pav grinned mischievously and stuck out his tongue at the now-infuriated Jolteon.
Without waiting for a command, the Eon dashed over and made to Tackle Pav, but the Pichu simply zipped over a bit to the left, causing Jolteon to check himself and stop just before he went over the line, which would mean an instant defeat. Pav snickered wildly, then quickly dodged as Jolteon charged over.
All this time, Lionel was frantically trying to calm his Jolteon down, seeing all the mistakes it made in its fury. "Jolteon, CALM DOWN!!" Lionel shouted. "CALM DOWN, you idiot!! You're letting your anger get the better of you!! You're letting Pav win!!"
Sari laughed as she watched her cousin's infuriated Jolteon trying ineffectually to Tackle her agile Pichu. Pav giggled right along with her.
Lionel, finally having enough, called Jolteon back in a huff. Throwing another Pokeball, he called, "Go, Eevee!! Give it your best shot!!"
"Vui!! Eevui!!" The little Eevee chirped happily. She assumed a stance, staring expectantly at the Pichu across the battle area.
"Go, Quick Attack!!" Lionel shouted, flinging out his arm. His Eevee turned into a blur of brown as it darted across the ground, before hitting the still-giggling Pichu head-on.
"PIICHU!!!" Pav cried angrily, snapping to attention. The electric mouse swiped Eevee's face with his paws, causing red welts to appear on Eevee's face, which quickly disappeared as the swelling went down.
{A/N: After all, Pichus aren't supposed to have Scratch, so I assumed that it wouldn't be very effective. Pichu IS a baby Pokemon, so I suppose the 'claws' aren't very long or sharp. XD }
"All right, Eevee," Lionel called, taking advantage of the Pokemons' close range. "Attract, now!!"
The little Eevee smiled sweetly at Pichu, little hearts floating out of her eyes and surrounding the unfortunate electric mouse. Pav's eyes glazed over, then erupted into two large hearts (maybe 'erupted' isn't the right word to use...oh well). The Pichu snuggled up to Eevee, who giggled coyly.
"Pav!!" Sari cried frantically. "Snap out of it, buddy!! Come on!! Use your Tackle!!" But it was to no avail.
Finally, Carol called, "Pav is unable to battle." Sari sighed exasperatedly, then went into the field to haul the lovesick Pichu out of the battle. Placing him firmly on her shoulder and leaving one hand up to support him, she took another Pokeball from her belt and threw it into battle.
"Bellossom!! Go!!" The Oddish evolution burst out of her Pokeball, then stood ready for battle, grass skirt rustling quietly.
"Eevee, Headbutt!!" Lionel called. Eevee loped towards the Bellossom, head lowered.
"Bellossom!! Jump and flip!!" The Bellossom jumped up agilely, then flipped over as Eevee passed below, landing perfectly behind Eevee, who looked around in confusion. "Petal Dance!!"
Bellossom twirled around obligingly, grass skirt flaring out and the petals flying at Eevee, who tried to dodge but got hit anyway.
Eevee cried out in pain as the petals assaulted her. Twirling the other way, Bellossom unleashed another barrage of petals.
"Double Team!!" Lionel called quickly. Eevee stiffened, then surrounded Bellossom with copies of herself.
"Bell? Bello?" Bellossom looked at the copies with uncertainty, swaying like a drunkard from the Confuse effect after Petal Dance. As her eyes followed the Eevee copies, she got dizzy and finally landed with a thud on the ground, eyes swirling. (@_@)
"Bellossom is unable to battle!!"
"You did great, Bellossom. Return!!" The red beam flashed out and 'sucked' Bellossom back into the Ball. "All right, Cyndaquil, you're up again!!" Cyndaquil materialized and chirped happily at the chance of another battle.
"Eevee, Quick Attack!!" Cyndaquil bounced back when the attack hit her, but got back up again.
"Cyndaquil, Rollout!!" At such close range, the Rollout could not help but hit Eevee. As Eevee cried out in pain and stood up shakily again, the curled-up fire mouse rolled around and hit her again from the back, doing twice the damage. This time, Eevee went down and stayed down.
"Eevee is unable to battle!!"
"Eevee, you did a great job. I'm proud of you. Return!! Jolteon, go!!" Jolteon looked properly ashamed of himself for losing control earlier on, and snarled at the Pichu sitting on Sari's shoulder. As he did, Cyndaquil, who had been rolling around gaining momentum after Eevee had fainted, hit him from behind, causing three times the damage the first hit had done. Jolteon turned around, every sense on high alert for the thing that had hit him.
"Agility, Jolteon!!" Lionel called. Jolteon immediately became a yellow blur of constant movement as he darted from place to place, avoiding Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil, stop!!" The fire mouse stopped instantly and uncurled herself, shaking her head to clear the dizziness, then backed up until the line and stopped there, washing herself until Jolteon stopped.
At the same time Sari shouted "Flamethrower!!", Lionel shouted, "Thunderbolt!!" Both attacks hit each other and exploded. Sari, Lionel, Carol and Kris were knocked back by the power of the blast. When the thick, black smoke cleared, both Pokemon had x_X looks on their faces.
After inspecting them and shaking them to make sure that they could not battle, Carol called, "Both Pokemon are unable to battle!!"
"Return!!" Both trainers took back their Pokemon grimly.
"All right, time for a showdown, cousin," Sari smirked and held up one of the two dark coloured Pokeballs on her belt.
"Sure," Lionel replied, smirking back. "Go, Silver." Silver trotted into the ring confidently, head and tail held high.
"Go, Tsuki!!" An Umbreon with green rings flashed into the battlefield. "Bre bre," Tsuki threw a challenge at Silver.
"Breon!! Umbre!!" Silver snarled back. {A/N: I love the way Umbreon sounds in the anime!! So...nice!! ^___^ }
Carol stepped in. "The winner of this round wins the match!! Begin!!" Ping!!
"Tsuki, Double Team!!" Sari shouted. The Umbreon nodded, then split himself up into many images, surrounding Silver.
"Silver, don't be fooled!! Use your ears and attack Tsuki with a Faint Attack!!" Silver twitched his ears, stepped quickly to the side and disappeared.
"Tsuki, remember what we practiced? You know what to do!!" The Umbreon images all nodded, then all disappeared. Silver appeared suddenly where one of the images had been standing, and tackled nothing. The blue ringed Umbreon looked around in bewilderment.
"All right, now!!" Tsuki appeared and bit Silver in the shoulder, springing away after he did.
"Jump and kick!!" Lionel yelled. Silver growled and leaped, landing on Tsuki and kicking off, causing Tsuki to fall forcefully to the ground. Tsuki was up in a flash, panting heavily. Silver was also tired out.
"Quick Crunch!!" Both commands came at the same time. The Shiny Umbreons leapt at each other with teeth bared, and both came down with teeth locked in each other's shoulder, Silver biting Tsuki's left, and Tsuki biting Silver's right. As both Umbreons stood there, HP drained away like sand in someone's cupped hands.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BWAHAHAHA!! Aren't I evil?! *looks pleased* Please vote who will win!! I have no idea. Heh. The Umbreon with more people wanting him to win will win. The people who gave me Lionel and Sari CANNOT vote!! Too biased...Ok then, expect a chapter in maybe two weeks, I DO have exams, you know. Remember to review!!
