Max's Quest: The Tropical League
Chapter 5 - "Scyther! A Thing or Two About Pokemon!"
Max and Vince crossed the deep, blue sea on the SS Trainer and were on Simplicit Island. It was just a normal average day; Sunny as usual with a small breeze. Max was thinking of going to visit Professor Maple to tell him what he has been up to.
Max and Vince were walking towards Maple's Lab and Vince pointed something out, "Hey that kid is battling a Scyther!"
"Let's go check it out!" Max ran up to the kid.
"I choose Bulbasaur!" a small kid with a white cap on backwards on threw a Pokeball forward. He had blue eyes, brownish hair; sticking out of the front of the hat, and a black shirt and blue jeans.
"Are you crazy kid?" Vince asked the little kid.
"What do you mean?" the kid obliviously didn't know what he was doing.
"Well first of all Bulbasaur is a Grass type!" Vince started out. "Scyther is a Bug and Flying type. The strongest Grass attack won't leave a scratch on Scyther."
"I'll show you and Scyther!" The kid said. "Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!"
Bulbasaur preformed the sharp leaf attack but it had no effect on Scyther.
"I don't get it?" The kid questioned the last sequence of events.
"Don't get what?" Max asked. "Scyther isn't affected by Grass attacks."
"Scyther!" Scyther then swooped its right scythe and slashed Bulbasaur's face. This did a lot of damage.
"Bulbasaur!" The kid called out. "Use Mega Drain!"
Bulbasaur released a seed from its bulb and it connected with Scyther's face. It sucked up a little bit of HP. Scyther then used a Quick Attack to finish Bulbasaur off.
"No! Bulbasaur!" The kid fell over to his fallen Pokemon. "It's ok Bulbasaur!" He then returned it to it's Pokeball.
"Max you should catch it! Unless that kid wants another go at it!" Vince exclaimed.
"Well. . . Um. . ." The kid didn't know what to say. "Do what you want!"
"Fine! I choose you Charmander!" Max threw the Pokeball containing the fiery lizard Pokemon. It hit the ground and exploded in a flash of white light releasing Charmander from its ball. "Charmander use Ember!"
"Charmander!" Charmander roared into battle unleashing the tiny fireball attack. This did a good deal of damage considering it's the weakest fire attack.
"Scyther!" Scyther became infuriated and used a quick attack on Charmander doing a surprisingly great deal of damage.
"Charmander use Flamethrower!"
Charmander released a stream of fire and hit Scyther right in the torso. The fiery attack did a lot of damage and Scyther was running out of health.
"Max!" Vince sort of yelled, "Switch Pokemon and use Bellsprout's Sleep Powder! it's a guaranteed catch!"
Max couldn't argue, "Charmander nice job! Return, go, Bellsprout! Use Sleep Powder!"
Scyther then quickly use a quick attack preventing the attack.
"Damm!" Max was angry for a second but then had an idea, "Bellsprout Wrap and then Sleep Powder!"
Bellsprout then unleashed a sturdy string and it wrapped around Scyther; trapping it. Bellsprout then opened its mouth a second time and released a blue spore. This put Scyther to sleep.
Max then pulled the fifth Pokeball from his trainer belt, which was empty and hurled it at Scyther. The ball flew across the air as if it was in slow motion; everyone wanted to know the outcome. The ball hit Scyther on the head and opened up. A red beam came from the ball and covered Scyther's body. Scyther was then sucked into the red and white ball and the ball shut. The ball fell to the ground and bobbled a couple of times. Finally the ball stopped and Scyther was caught.
"Alright!" Max ran up to the motionless ball and picked it up. "I caught a Scyther! Great job Bellsprout!"
"Alright Max!" Vince was happy for his friend.
"Congratulations!" The kid said. "Oh yeah. . . My name is Joey!"
"My name is Max and this is my friend Vince!" Max introduced himself.
"Hey," Vince said.
"Hey kid do you want to battle?" Max asked Joey.
"Sure!" he relied. "Three Pokemon?"
"Fine with me, go, Donphan!" Max sent out his most faithful and strongest Pokemon.
"I choose you Bulbasaur!"
"This should be an interesting match!" Vince watched from the side of Max and commented.
"Donphan, Tackle!" Max commanded the first orders.
Donphan charged at Bulbasaur with great speed and tackled it doing a little damage.
"Bulbasaur use your Razor Leaf!" Joey said his first command.
Bulbasaur retaliated with the sharp leaf attack. This attack did a lot of damage.
"Oh no!" Max cried out. "Don't give up, use Earthquake!"
Donphan proceeded and used the strong ground type attack. This did a great deal of damage.
"Vine Whip!" Joey called out.
Two vines quickly rose from Bulbasaur's back. Bulbasaur then whipped the fines across Donphan's face doing a little bit of damage.
"Double-Edge attack," Max ordered.
Donphan ran rather quickly, gaining momentum in every stride. Finally, crashing into the grass type Pokemon. This attack did a lot of damage to Bulbasaur and was almost knocked out. Donphan also took a little damage from his own attack.
"Bulbasaur use your Double-edge!" Joey mimicked Max's command.
Bulbasaur did as told and rammed Donphan with a lot of force but Bulbasaur hurt itself enough to faint.
"Yes!" Max cheered. "Great job Donphan, keep it up."
"Return," Joey held out Bulbasaur's Pokeball and recalled it. "Now for my next Pokemon I choose Pineco!" Joey threw the Pokeball containing the captive Pineco towards Donphan.
"Donphan you can take a rest, return!" Max recalled his best and most prized Pokemon. "Hmmm. . ." Max thought. "I choose you, Scyther!" Max threw the ball containing his newest Pokemon onto the grass in front of him. The Pokeball bounced of the ground and opened releasing Scyther in a beam of red light.
"Pineco! Take Down!" Joey commanded with a forceful voice.
The bagworm Pokemon leaped towards Scyther and rammed its abdominal. This attack didn't do much damage and Pineco also hurt itself with some damage.
"Scyther, use Slash!" Max ordered.
"Scyther!" Scyther stepped into battle slashing its scythes. Scyther hit its opponent a few time with the sharp attack. It was a critical hit an did and enormous amount of damage.
"No!" Joey was worried for his Pokemon so he recalled it.
"Why did you return your Pokemon so early?" Vince asked from the sidelines.
"It's not as experienced as Max's Scyther is," he pointed out. "It doesn't matter. My next Pokemon can win the rest of the battle! Ursaring! Go! Use your Take Down attack!"
The big bear attack snarled at its trainer and sat down. It obviously wasn't obedient.
"C'mon Ursaring!" Joey begged but Ursaring remained seated with an angry look on its face.
"Huh?" Max was a little confused but continued the battle. "Scyther Quick Attack!"
Scyther dodged at Ursaring at a tremendous speed. Scyther lowered its shoulder and rammed into the large bear Pokemon. Ursaring became infuriated and picked up Scyther with its claws. It then proceeded to jump into the air and throw Scyther to the ground leaving a tiny cloud of smoke. Scyther was knocked out by this powerful move.
"You did a good job Scyther, return! Go! Charmander!" Max withdrew the fallen warrior and sent out the fiery Charmander. "Skull Bash!"
Charmander dived into the big, brown Pokemon with all of its might but it had no affect and Ursaring was actually sleeping now.
"Damn!" Joey pouted. "Return Ursaring!"
"Yes!" Max jumped into the air. "I won!"
"My Ursaring never obeys me!" Joey exclaimed.
"It's probably at to high of a level for you," Vince explained.
"Hey I Have an idea!" Joey screamed. "How about we trade Pokemon Max?"
"Uh . . . What do you want to trade me?" Max asked.
"My Ursaring!" Joey answered. "I love Grass and Bug types. Do you have any grass or bug type Pokemon at a low level that I could trade for."
"You should trade your Bellsprout for it Max!" Vince pointed out.
"Did you say Bellsprout?" Joey said. "I love Bellsprouts! Please trade with me! I don't want my Ursaring!"
"Ok! Ok, already!" Max was getting annoyed by the constant begging. "How do I trade?"
"You link up your Pokedexs and press the trade button," Vince continued, "then a list should come up of all the Pokemon you have in your party. Then scroll down to the Pokemon you want to trade, enter 'Ok' and the trade will be confirmed. Then just hand over the Pokeball to the other trainer."
"Ok," Max and Joey both answered at the same time. They followed Vince's instructions and the trade was legal. Max handed Joey the Pokeball containing Bellsprout and Joey handed Max the Pokeball containing Ursaring.
"Thanks Max!" Joey was grateful for the trade.
"It's nothing!" Max knew that when he was able to control Ursaring it would be well worth it.
Max and Vince bid fare wells to Joey and were off to the Pokemon Center for some rest. Next stop, the Simplicit Island Gym!
