Max's Quest: The Tropical League
Chapter 2 - "Two New Friends!"
Max was almost there. He couldn't wait until he got to Secta Island. Max had thought of all the things he was going to do on Secta Island; catch Pokemon, battle trainers, and most important of all, battle for his first badge.
The S.S. Trainer finally arrived at the amazing Secta Island. It was full of plant life. The island looked like one huge jungle, with a couple of buildings; houses, apartment buildings and the thing Max noticed that was at the very highest point of the mountain, the Secta Island Gym.
"Well Donphan were here!" Max said to his new Pokemon, Donphan.
Donphan replied with a loud, "Donphan!"
Max pulled out Donphan's Pokeball and recalled it. Max hurried down stairs to the loading dock were he walked down the ramp and stepped onto the beautiful island and he new were he was headed, for the gym. So Max walked up to the directory that is conveniently set up write near the loading docks.
"Hmmm?" Max continued to look for a route to the gym. He found it and started walking.
Max then entered what was like a small jungle with a tiny path leading to the gym. He looked around at his surroundings. Then Max noticed some nearby bushes moving. He thought it could have been the wind or something but it was moving to much for the nice weather it had been that day. So he walked closer to take a peak. Then all of a sudden a Pokemon jumped out of the brush and started growling at Max. It was a orange lizard Pokemon. Max guessed it was a fire Pokemon as its tail was on fire.
"Hey! Isn't that a Charmander?" Max pulled of his red Pokedex to get some more info.
"Charmander the lizard Pokemon," the small red gadget replied to Max's curiosity. "The flame on its tail indicates Charmanders life force. If it is healthy, the flame burns brightly. When it reaches its final stage, Charizard, and it is at a high level even water types have a hard time taking it down."
"Could I have the type and weakness' please?" Max asked very politely.
"Type: Fire, Weakness' include Water, Rock, and Ground!" the Pokedex answered in a robotic voice.
"It must be my lucky day! I choose you Donphan!" Max took Donphan's Pokeball from his Poke Belt and hurled it at the ground. It bounced on the dirt a couple of times and then exploded in a red flash, revealing the elephant Pokemon. "Donphan start this battle off with a Tackle attack!"
"Don...Phan!" Donphan roared into battle, running at Charmander. Donphan lowered its head an knocked it down but Charmander quickly got up.
Charmander gave a couple a loud screeches and started on what looked like to be a Tackle attack of his own. It used the same process as Donphan but it leaped into the air when he did it, diving at Donphan to gain more momentum. Charmander hit Donphan but did not knock it down. Donphan was obliviously much stronger than Charmander.
"Alright Donphan, good work!" Max complimented his Pokemon. "Now use your Rollout attack!"
Donphan roared, then curled up into a ball. Donphan then started rolling, faster and faster until it finally hit its opponent. Charmander was knocked down for a little and then got up. Donphan made a u turn and started back at Charmander again. This time he was going even faster.
Max thought that this would be the last hit and Charmander would be out but Charmander peeked out the corner of his eye and saw Donphan coming quickly at him. Charmander jumped into the air really fast and dodged the attack and then let out a huge stream of fire at Donphan doing a lot of damage.
"Oh no!" Max was worried as Charmander fell back down to the ground on its feet and then continued the bright red and orange flow of fire. "Donphan try to shake it off and use your Earthquake attack!"
Donphan shook its head a little and jumped up in the air and then came back down at the ground with great force making the surrounding area rumble and shake. This attack made Charmander faint.
"Great job Donphan!" Max once again congratulating his Pokemon. Max then took out one of his Pokeballs from his trainer belt. "Charmander, your mine!" Max shouted as he released the red and white ball from his hand.
The ball spun in the air, on its way to Charmander. The ball hit Charmander in the head, opened up, and then a red beam shot out connecting with Charmander's body. The red beam covered Charmander's body and sucked it back into the Pokeball. The ball closed, fell to the ground and started to shake. It shook a couple of times and then stopped. Max had caught his first Pokemon.
"Alright! I caught a Charmander!" Max struck a pose while holding the Pokeball in the air. "And its all thanks to you Donphan!"
"Donphan!" The gray, elephant Pokemon roared in excitement.
"We should get to the Pokemon Center!" Max said to his Donphan worried about his health. "Return!" Max held out Donphan's Pokeball. A red beam came out from the center and connected to Donphan. The beam covered Donphan and then sucked it up into the ball.
Max started walking towards the Pokemon center. The Pokemon Center was located in between the Poke Mart and the Secta Island Gym. After about ten minutes of walking he arrived.
Max walked in the front door and walked up to the front desk for some assistance and a woman with red hair walked up to him, "May I help you?"
"Yeah, could you heal my Pokemon... Nurse..." Max was looking for her name tag and then found it. "Joy!"
"No problem just give me the poke balls that contain your Pokemon!"
"Here you go!" Max handed her the two half-red, half-white balls.
"This will take just a sec...," she put the balls into a machine, with six little poke ball holders and Max noticed that he only had two! She accessed her computer and finished the process. "Here you go! All better!" She said in a kind of cute voice.
"Thank you Nurse Joy!" Max thanked her and was on his way out the door but someone stepped in front of him.
"Were are you going?" a kid Max's age, light brown eyes, green shorts, a tank top, and a green hat facing the right way. What really stood out was that he had a net.
"I'm going to the Secta Island Gym!" Max said confidently.
"We'll there's no way you can win if you can't beat me!" the kid said.
"Lets make this a two on two match!" Max said quickly, knowing he only had two Pokemon.
"Fine by me! I choose you Beedrill!"
"Than I choose Donphan!" Max hurled Donphan's Pokeball to the ground. It opened, then in a white flash Donphan appeared. "Donphan use a Tackle attack!" Max gave the first orders.
Donphan roared and then ran at Beedrill. Donphan jumped up a little bit but Beedrill moved out of the way.
"Nice work Beedrill!" the trainer praised his Pokemon. "Now Use your Fury Attack!"
"Bzzzzzz!" Beedrill buzzed. Beedrill used its two stingers on its arm to repeatedly jab Donphan in its head. It hit Donphan five times and did a lot of damage.
"Hang in there Donphan!" Max encouraged his Pokemon.
"Your Pokemon's just to slow for my Beedrill!"
"OH yeah? Donphan Rollout attack!" Max commanded.
Donphan started rolling at a high speed. It hit Beedrill once doing a lot of damage. Donphan continued picking up speed and hit Beedrill even harder the second time. Donphan then turned around again and hit Beedrill Harder then both of the past times put together.
"Bzzzzz!" Beedrill hit the ground and fainted.
"That shows you how slow my Donphan is!" Max said watching proudly.
"No problem! I saved my best for last! Heracross, go!" He threw the Pokeball revealing the dark blue beetle Pokemon.
"What's that?" Max asked his Pokedex.
"Heracross! The Single Horn Pokemon!" It replied. "This powerful Pokemon thrusts its prized horn under the enemies' bellies then lifts and throws them."
"Hmmm? Seems powerful! Donphan return! I choose you Charmander!" Max switched realizing the advantage Charmander would have. "Charmander use your Flamethrower!"
Max's fire Pokemon did as was told. It opened its mouth and blew out a continuous stream of fire. Heracross was engulfed in the flames.
"Hey you two!" A man in a black hat and a black suit with a big "R" on the front said. "Hand over all your Pokemon!"
"Why should we? and who are you?" Max asked.
"My name is James!" he said.(Not the James from the TV show! He was just a little to gay to put in this story!) "I have never been beat so you mine as well hand over your Pokemon!"
"No way!" Max and the other trainer said simultaneously.
"Than you leave me no choice! Nidoking, attack!" James threw the Pokeball and it hit the ground. It popped open in a white flash showing the big, strong Pokemon. It was purple and had a horn and a tail. Also its skin looked very tough.
"I'll take care of him!" Max said. "Charmander use your Ember!"
Charmander jumped into the battle and spat out ball of fire.
"Nidoking!" Nidoking caught the ball of fire in its palm and threw it to the ground, as if he was swatting a fly!
"Now Nidoking! Use Earthquake!"
Nidoking jumped up into the air and stomped on the ground, making a huge earthquake beneath Charmander's feet. Max watched as Charmander fainted.
"Return!" Max returned his Pokemon.
"I know Nidoking's weakness! I choose you Butterfree!" the trainer tossed the Pokeball into the air. It opened in a white flash showing the beautiful butterfly Pokemon. "Butterfree, use Psychic!"
Butterfree surrounded Nidoking in a blue aroma and then sent a huge white flash threw Nidoking's eyes. Nidoking fell to the ground, as it could not withstand this powerful psychic attack.
"Good job Butterfree!" he congratulated his Pokemon.
"I'm outa here!" James withdrew his Pokemon and ran as fast as he could!
"That was awesome!" Max said.
"Thanks! My Butterfree has some pretty powerful attacks!" he showed off a little.
"How about we finish are battle?" Max asked.
"No," he said. "You were going to win any way. There's no way my Heracross could of took any more fire attacks from your awesome Charmander!"
"Hey, thanks!" Max said. "How would you like to come with me on my journey to be the Tropical League Champion?" Max asked hoping to gain a new friend.
"I would love to!" he said. "Oh yeah? I forgot to ask you, what's your name?"
"My name is Max!" Max said. "What's your name?" he then asked the same question.
"My name is Vince!"
"Well, we should get started on our journey!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Vince said and then they were off to the Secta Island Gym.
