Max's Quest: The Tropical League
Chapter 4 - "Bellsprout's Victory!"
Here they were. Max and Vince were nearing the Secta Island gym. Max had been training in many battles for over a week after the incident with the police. His Pokemon were getting really strong. Max was also looking for more Pokemon to catch.
"Hey you should teach your Pokemon this move!" Vince was sort of like a move tutor; he could teach moves to Pokemon and he was pretty good at this skill. Vince taught Max how to teach Poliwag Powder Snow which wasn't the strongest ice attack but it was good for a beginner.
Max was very glad he met up with Vince and they were beginning to become good friends, "Thanks Vince! Your good at these things!"
"No problem!" Vince replied. "My father taught me it before he past away!"
"Oh I'm sorry!" Max grieved for Vince.
"No its not your fault I should have told you," Vince took the blame. "Well enough about that let's get heading to the gym!"
"Don't you think I should train a little more?" Max questioned.
"You've been training like a dog all week!" Vince responded. "You are more than ready!"
"Ok let's go!" Max and Vince started walking towards the gym. It was only about a mile and a half away.
"Hey!" Vince exclaimed. "Isn't that a Bellsprout? You should catch it!"
"Awesome!" Max stopped and noticed the small grass Pokemon. "I know just the Pokemon for the job, Charmander! Use your Ember!"
Charmander leaped into battle shooting tiny balls of orange, red, and yellow balls of fire at the weird looking Bellsprout. It did a lot of damage.
"Watch out!" Vince pointed out Bellsprout's next attack. "It's Sleep Powder!"
But before Vince could point it out Bellsprout unleashed the light blue powder and put Charmander to sleep.
"Shoot!" Max was upset. "Return Charmander! I choose you, Poliwag!" Max threw his next Pokeball into the air. It hit the ground and opened. Then in a beam of red light the tiny tadpole appeared.
Bellsprout was quick to attack and released his two what where like leaves for arms at Poliwag. It hit and did a lot of damage.
"Hang in there Poliwag! Use Powder Snow!"
Poliwag then let out a tiny snow storm at Bellsprout. Amazingly this attack was powerful enough to freeze Bellsprout.
"The match is over Max!" Vince explained. "Once a Pokemon is frozen it can't move and will not be able to escape from a Pokeball," Vince explained the process of battle.
"Alright!" Max jumped for joy. "Pokeball, go!" Max threw the red and white ball at Bellsprout. The ball wiggled a few times but Max already knew it was caught.
"Hey! The Gym is right up the street!" Vince pointed out.
"Great!" Max said. ""I want to heal my Pokemon before I go!"
Then Max and Vincent were off to the Pokemon Center. They arrived with out confrontation and Max healed his Pokemon. Then they headed out towards the gym.
"We'll, this is it Max!"
"Let's go!" Max entered the Gym. It looked different from before; the light brought out the beauty of the Gym. The whole gym floor was grass with a few flowers popping out of the ground. There was also a big tree to the side of the battle field. Max thought this was an advantage to the Gym leader; his or her Pokemon could hide in the tree and attack from any where during battle.
Then a boy with short black hair and a green suit approached Max and said, "Can I help you?"
"Yes!" Max said boldly. "I would like to challenge the gym leader!"
"We'll I am the gym leader!" he said. "My name is Bugsy but I don't think you are worthy of battle!"
"What?" Max questioned the confident remark. "I will beat you any day of the week!"
"Fine we shall do battle!" Bugsy said. "Step into the trainers box. It will be a three on three battle! For my first Pokemon I choose Metapod!"
"I choose you Bellsprout! Use your Poison Powder!" Max sent his newly caught Pokemon into battle and ordered the first attack.
Bellsprout released a blue and purplish powder and sprayed it on the cocoon Pokemon. Metapod was now loosing energy.
"No!" Bugsy screamed. "Metapod use Harden then Tackle!"
Metapod hardened its shell and then rammed into Bellsprout not doing much damage. It then was started to feel the affect of the poison and was loosing power more rapidly.
"Bellsprout use Wrap attack!"
Bellsprout then freed a string from its mouth and wrapped Metapod. It continuously squeezed Metapod and now it was in trouble. Now Metapod couldn't move and was taking damage from the wrap and the poison. Eventually it fainted.
"Metapod return! Beedrill I choose you!" Bugsy sent out the large bee Pokemon. "Beedrill use Twin Needle!"
Beedrill then swooped down from the air and constantly jabbed Bellsprout with its pincers. This did a lot of damage.
"Oh no! Max you've got to switch Pokemon!" Vince shouted from Max's corner.
"Bellsprout Razor Leaf!" Max ignored Vince and ordered his next attack anyway.
"Bell!" Bellsprout released his two leaves and hurled them at a fast speed towards Beedrill. It hit but wasn't effective.
"Beedrill Pin Missile!" Bugsy called out.
"Bzzz!" Beedrill struck Bellsprout five times in a row with its pincers.
"Bellsprout don't give up!" Max encouraged but Bellsprout just couldn't match Beedrill's power.
"Ha!" Bugsy laughed from his side of the field.
"Return Bellsprout! Go, Charmander!" Max returned Bellsprout and threw another Pokeball onto the grassy Gym floor. The ball popped open and revealed the lizard Pokemon in a flash of white light.
"Beedrill Poison Sting attack!" Bugsy new he had to do something to stop this fiery Pokemon.
Beedrill swooped down from the air and tried to poison Charmander with its stinger but Charmander leaped out of the way.
"Good job Charmander! Use Ember!" Max said.
"Charmander!" Charmander growled then spat tiny fire balls at Beedrill. The balls of fire connected and did a lot of damage to Beedrill.
"Toxic, Beedrill!" Bugsy commanded.
Beedrill flew over Charmander and released a huge ball of purple slime on top of him. This poisoned Charmander very badly.
"Now Beedrill hide in that tree!" Bugsy had a plan; he would let Beedrill wait in the tree and let Charmander faint from the poison.
"Shoot!" Max had to think of a plan. Charmander was loosing energy. He had it, "Charmander use Flamethrower on that tree with your full power.
Charmander then opened out his mouth and let a huge stream of fire out and aimed it at the bug tree that Beedrill was hiding in. The whole tree caught fire and Beedrill was in trouble. After a couple of seconds Beedrill fell from the tree and fainted.
"Yes!" Max jumped in the air but then he noticed that his Charmander had collapsed.
"Ha!" Bugsy laughed, "Forgot about Toxic huh?"
"I choose -," Max was cut off.
"Wait this battle will have to be stopped in till the fire is out.
Then a bunch of men ran out from the back room and extinguished the fire. "Ok its all set Master Bugsy!" one of the guards or whatever they were yelled out.
"Ok!" Bugsy said. "Now you may send out your last Pokemon.
"I choose you Donphan!" Max threw his Poke ball into the field. The half-red, half-white ball opened and showed the elephant Pokemon.
"For my last Pokemon I choose Yanma!" He sent out a Pokemon Max had never seen before. It was red, had clear wings, green eyes, and six legs. Also had had what seemed to be a long stinger as a tail. "Use Wing Attack!"
"Try to dodge it Donphan and then use Rollout!"
"Donphan!" Donphan tried to move out of the way but he was not successful. Yanma then swooped down and stuck its two left side wings out. It then struck Donphan in the face. It didn't do that much damage because Donphan was very strong and had a good defense.
"Now Donphan!" Max continued.
Donphan then started to roll on the ground. It picked up speed jumped in the air and struck Yanma once doing good damage. Max thought if Donphan could keep hitting Yanma it would be out in no time because of its huge weakness to Rock type attacks.
"Yanma try to stop it with a Swift!" Bugsy was running out of time.
Yanma shot about six or seven stars out at Donphan quickly. The attack didn't slow Donphan down that much and it didn't do a lot of damage either.
"Yes I know what to do!" Bugsy shouted. "Double Team and then Supersonic!"
Yanma doubled its self into four. Donphan was rolling faster and tried to hit Yanma again but missed witch stopped the Rollout attack. Yanma then sent confusing waves into Donphan's body and confused Donphan.
"Oh no!" Vince was worried that Max was going to loose.
"Try a Tackle attack!" Max was now on the wrong side of things.
Donphan was so confused that it charged into the nearby tree witch was toasted and did a lot of damage to its self.
"Yanma Wing Attack!"
Yanma swooped down and hit Donphan again doing a little damage. Donphan was no longer confused.
"Donphan," Max had come up with an idea. "Use your Rapid Spin on Yanma's wings."
Donphan leaped into the air in a spinning motion and hit Yanma's left wings. Then did the same to the right side. This didn't do much damage but Yanma fell to the ground and couldn't fly any more.
"Oh no!" Bugsy screamed.
"Now use Earthquake!" Max knew the battle was over.
Donphan jumped in the air and came down with great force. This created a crevice in the grassy field. Yanma fell in and fainted.
"Ok, ok," Bugsy said while returning his Yanma. "Here take this! Its the Secta Island Badge!"
He handed Max the Yanma shaped badge and Max replied with, "Thanks! Good job Donphan!"
"Oh yeah and here is your prize for beating me!" Bugsy took out a half-white and half-black Poke ball with two Yellow stripes on both sides of the black part.
"What is this?" Max asked.
"That's an Ultra Ball!" Vince answered Max's question.
"It is stronger than Poke Balls and Great Balls!" Bugsy explained. "It is good for catching tough Pokemon and Pokemon with a high level!"
They then said their goodbyes and were off to Simplicit Island.
