Chapter 4- Pokemon Battle, Ready, Set, Go!!!

=======

The last time we left Seth he saved Lake Feebas a lake filled with a lot of Feebas and a beautiful Milotic, which Seth saved from being taken by Team Aqua. We now see him walking by a stream as he proceeds to Cascade Town.

"We should almost be their guys," Seth said to his Pikachu and Torchic. The group walk for about 5 minutes when the heard the shout of a Pokemon from downstream. Seth took out his binoculars and looked. He saw an odd colored Feebas swimming as fast as a Gyrados. Waves flew behind the Feebas. Seth stopped and waited for the Feebas to catch up.
"Feebas Feebas FEEBAS," The Feebas shouted in a frenzy. Seth looked down to examine the Feebas and noticed it was different from the normal. Instead of being brown it was a magenta color.

"Why is this Feebas different," Seth questioned to himself. He pulled out his PokeDEX.

The PokeDEX said: Shiny Pokemon are very rare in the Hoenn region. Shiny Pokemon have different colors than its normal self.

"Feebas Feebas," the Feebas said. It then attempted to jump into Seth hands.

"You want me to be you trainer?" Seth asked it. The Feebas nodded its head. Seth took one of his pokeballs from his belt and tapped Feebas with it. The shiny Feebas was transported into its new home.

"Yeah! I caught a shiny Feebas," Seth shouted with excitement.

"Feebas I choose you!" Feebas jumped into the water.

"Feebas think you can go upstream and check to see how far we are from Cascade Town," Seth asked his Feebas. Feebas bolted upstream in a matter of seconds and return a minute later.

"Whoa Feebas your one speedy fish," Seth exclaimed. The group started walking once more. Humming a Pokemon tune to pass the time they finally at Cascade Town.

"Guys we made it," Seth said to his Pokemon "Time to get into your pokeballs" Instantly all his Pokemon returned back into their balls. Seth started to explore his surroundings.

Cascade Town is basically a fishing town. Cascade Town is also the home a Pokemon League Gym. All around water Pokemon help their owners from washing clothes to searching for fish. Now that you got the info lets get back to Seth.

"Ugh, what is that horrible smell," Seth exclaimed holding his nose. He turned his head to see a barge loading fish into a crate.

"Well that explains the smell," Seth snickered. Seth continue walking, holding his nose of course. He saw water Pokemon doing all sorts of task from watering flowerbeds to fishing off the pier. He then came across a huge building called the Pokemon Center. He walked through the sliding doors. The interior inside was excellent.

"We had one of these in Bigroot but I've never been inside. I think it heals injured and sick Pokemon," Seth thought to himself. He proceeded to sit down at a table. A very attractive lady with pink hair came up to him.

"Hello, I've never seen you around here before, my name is Nurse Joy," she told to Seth.

Seth started to blush. "Uh hi my name is Se-Se-Seth, nice to meet you Nurse Joy," Seth stuttered.

"Would you like to order anything to eat free of charge cutey," Nurse Joy asked. Seth entire face turned a beet red.

"Man what do I say she's hot!" Seth thought to himself "I just have a few rice balls for my Pokemon and me. Nurse Joy scribbled down his order and left for the kitchen.

"Come on out guys," Seth said to his pokeballs. One by one each of his Pokemon appeared on the bench in front of him. Nurse Joy then appeared again and placed down plates with rice balls in front of Seth and his Pokemon. They started chowing down.

"Pikachu pass the soy sauce," Seth munched with food spitting out his mouth "munch munch munch. Seth and his Pokemon ate alike, eating like savage madmen. "Burp" "Excuse me" Torchic took the hot sauce and sprayed it on his rice balls.

"Be care Torchic don't burn yourself. Wait you're a fire Pokemon you should like hot stuff" Seth said. The group had finished eating.

"Wow that was delicious. Lets go," Seth told his friends "Good-bye Nurse Joy have a good day" Nurse Joy waved back to Seth. Then Seth saw it a poster on the wall. It was about the Pokemon League.

"Whoa isn't this what my dad did when he was a teenager?" Seth asked himself "I gotta do this so I can become a Pokemon master" Seth and his Pokemon walked outside and the scent of fish filled their noses again. "Great"

Seth pulled out his video cell phone and called his father, Jason.

"Hey dad hows it going I'm in Cascade Town now and guess what Im joining the Pokemon League just like you," Seth exclaimed.

"That's great, Seth you should be a great trainer just like your old Pop good luck," Jason wished Seth.

"Jason, is that my boy Seth?" a voice said in the background. Jason nodded and she charged toward him to get the phone.

"Seth I'm so proud of you! I hope your remembering to change your socks and your UNDERWEAR!"

After to hearing that Seth fell over*anime surprised fall*.

"I will mom!" "Bye honey!"

Seth turned his cell phone off and began looking for the gym. Eventually he finally found it. Cascade Gym a sign read. It was a gigantic building with pools filled with Pokemon all around it. Seth walked through the iron bar gates ad opened the door. A gigantic pool with platforms in it sat idol. Lights flashed on startling Seth out of his wits. A figure appeared from the shadows.

"My name is Doug of the Cascade Gym. In order to get your badge you must defeat me in a Pokemon battle" Doug yelled across to Seth. Doug had clothes similar to Seth's outfit. He had on black jeans, a dark blue t-shirt, and a pair of blue and white shoes.

"Each trainer may use 3 Pokemon each. The Gym Leader Doug cannot switch but the Trainer Seth may switch. The field is water based so choose your Pokemon carefully. Pokemon battle BEGIN" shouted the Pokemon official.

"I choose you Poliwag," Shouted Doug as he threw in his pokeballs. Seth then pulled out his PokeDEX.

The PokeDEX said: Poliwag has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the Pokemon's spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.

"I choose you Torchic," Seth shouted as he threw his pokeball. Torchic stared down its opponent. "Torchic be careful". Torchic charged toward Poliwag jumping from platform to platform.

"Poliwag jump into the water," Doug commanded "And don't come out until you see Torchic"

"Torchic lay down in the middle of a platform so Poliwag can't see you," Seth commanded Torchic. It laid down so that the Poliwag could not see it from the depths above.

"Poliwag reveal yourself and use Water Pulse," Doug yelled. Poliwag revealed itself and shot circles of water toward Torchic.

"Torchic roll out of the way and direct an Ember attack at its eyes." Torchic did as it was told and the Poliwag's vision became blurry.

" Poliwag dive under the water," and heal yourself. Poliwag jumped back into the waters depths.

"Ok, Torchic are you ready to attempt this task?" Seth asked Torchic. Torchic nodded its head "Torchic cause the pool to evaporate!"

"WHAT?!" Doug yelled. Torchic directed his fire toward the pool causing the pools water level to dwindle down until it became mere puddles. Poliwag was revealed.

"Poliwag try your best to dodge all of its attacks," Doug commanded. Torchic ran toward Poliwag and tackled it. Poliwag was hit hard and was banged up against the pool's wall knocked it unconscious.

"The victor is Torchic," said the Official.

"Poliwag return"

"How did it do that?" Doug asked.

"It ate the hottest hot sauce while we ate at the Pokemon center," Seth snickered.

"Return Torchic"

"I choose you Squirtle" Doug said out loudly. Seth pointed his PokeDEX toward Squirtle

The PokeDEX said: Squirtle's shell is not merely used for protection. The shell's rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in water, enabling this Pokemon to swim at high speeds.

"Well in that case, Pikachu go!" Seth smirked as he threw the pokeball in. Pikachu appeared ready battle. Electric sparked out of its cheeks.

"BEGIN"

The two Pokemon charged toward each other. Hitting each other one hit after another.

"Squitle water gun!" Doug said to his Pokemon. Squitle shot a torrent of water toward Pikachu.

"Pikachu thunder shock the water torrent," Seth told Pikachu. The electric ran through the water and struck Squirtle but in the process Pikachu was hit directly in its face but the Water Gun. Both Squitle and Pikachu were dazed, but Squitle was able to stand up declaring it the winner.

"SQUITLE!" Squitle return to its pokeball.

"You fought bravely Pikachu you need a rest now," Seth murmured.

"The score is Trainer Seth 1 and Doug 1"

"Are you ready for this," Dog snickered "Seel I choose you" Doug through in the pokeball and a white seal appeared. Seth's PokeDEX analyzed it.

The PokeDEX said: Seel hunts for prey in the frigid sea underneath sheets of ice. When it needs to breathe, it punches a hole through the ice with the sharply protruding section of its head.

"Feebas I choose you," Seth shout as the odd color Feebas flew out. Sparkles trailed behind it as it entered the ring. Doug started to laugh.

"Haha a Feebas that the best you've got to fight with," Doug laughed "But something's wrong with it is it sick?"

"No, it very rare it a shiny Feebas and stop making fun of it," Seth retorted. The battle began and both Pokemon fought a rough battle in the pools depths.

"Seel use your Headbutt attack," Doug told to Seel, it obeyed and struck Feebas head on. It sank to the bottom of the pool.

"It's all over," Doug said as Seel swam to the top of the pool. Doug started laugh once more "and to think a Feebas that is so hilarious" Seth started to frown.

"Re," but before Seth could finish saying return a whirlpool started to form in the pool. Feebas was using its very own speed and was swimming in circles under the pools surface, thus a whirlpool began to form. Seel was sucked into spinning in circle until it was confused. Feebas halted to the stop and Seel flung on top of a platform. It got back up.

"Feebas use Fin Slap," Seth yelled.

"What the heck is Fin Slap did you just make that up?" Doug asked. Suddenly Feebas swam under Seel who was on a platform above it. Feebas soared out of the water behind Seel and struck him in the back of its head with its fin knocking Seel out.

"HOW could he beat my Seel," Doug complained. Out of know where an explosion occurred on the west side of the gym's wall. From behind the wall emerged Team Aqua along with Mark.

"Snatch that Seel," Mark ordered his grunt. They jumped platform to platform and stole it.

"SEEL SEEEEL"

"Seel noooo," shout Doug as he ran to get back Seel but was tackled by a grunt so Doug couldn't get close.

"Mark stop right there," Seth yelled.

"So its you kid, I see so you think you can stop me?" Mark snickered "Well I'm right here. Try me"

"Torchic I choose you!" Seth yelled and Torchic appeared "TACKLE." Torchic charged toward the grunt and knocked Seel out of his hand. Seel crawl into the water for safety.

"Why you little brat," Mark yelled.

"Feebas use Fin Slap on the water and create a tsunami!!! Feebas obeyed and started making a wave.

"Seel do the same as Feebas," Doug ordered Seel while pinned on the ground by the grunts. Seel surfaced and began to help Feebas make a tidal wave. Seth ran over to Doug and knocked the grunts off him and led him to the other side of the gym. A gigantic wave appeared.

"FEEBAS"

"SEEL"

"TSUNAMI WAVE" Seth and Doug yelled together. The tsunami wave hit all of Team Aqua and washed them away. Seth and Doug ran to their Pokemon and gave them hugs.

"Thank you Feebas"

"Thanks Seel"

Suddenly and bright light emitted from Seel and it changed its shape.

"DEWGONG!"

"Se-Se-Seel you evolved into Dewgong I cant believe it," Doug cried with joy. Seth pointed the PokeDEX at Dewgong.

The PokeDEX said: Dewgong loves to snooze on bitterly cold ice. The sight of this Pokemon sleeping on a glacier was mistakenly thought to be a mermaid by a mariner long ago.

"Seth thanks to you Seel evolved and you taught me an important lesson, you cant judge a Pokemon by its appearance all Pokemon can do anything! I bestow upon you the Spiral Cascade Badge!" Doug congratulated.

"YEAH! I got my first badge a Spiral Cascade Badge!" Seth exclaimed.

Seth walked out of the gym waving goodbye to 2 new friends.

"My journey of becoming a Pokemon master has just began"
