Lats time on Pokemon, Dustin and Shane settled their differences through a battle. Dustin and Shane's battle came down to Larvitar and Hoothoot, after a strange turn of events through harden, Larvitar was succesful, now the two boys continue on they're way to Violet City...

~Monkified!~

"So," Dustin said, him and Shane conitnued down the dirt trail, on the sides they was trees, it was mid-day, dusk would soon creep up on them, "Where do you want to go?"

"A place I once trained," Shane said, "It isnt far from Violet City, in fact if you want extra training before battling my brother, I advise you train here some."

"But where?" Dustin asked, they had came to the end of the road.

"There," Shane pointed, the road had ended, and at the end a huge tower, "Sprout Tower," Shane informed him.

"Whao..." Dustin stared up at the building, "That is where we are going?" Dustin couldnt believe his eyes, how big the tower was, it was older looking, but still strong structured.

"Yep," Shane said, walking to the building. Dustin followed behind him, they came to the door. Shane opened the door.

"WOW!" Dustin said, walking in on two monks training their Bellsprout. Dustin pulled out his pokedex.

"Bellsprout," Devon said, "This grass type pokemon plants its roots in the ground to regain energy, or stop electrical attacks." Dustin closed the pokedex and put it up agian.

"BELLSPROUT!" one monk said, the two monks wore the same clothes, a blue robe and black samurai like pants, this monks was short though, "VINE WHIP!"

"SROUT!" his Bellsprout said, knocking the other Bellsprout with it's feet like vines.

"SPROUTY!" the opposing monk said, he was taller, "GROWTH!"

"SPROUT!" the tall one's Bellsprout said, focusing energy and growing in size.

"SPROUTY USE TAKE DOWN!" the tall monk commanded.

"SPROUT!" it said, slamming down into the other Bellsprout, knocking it out.

"Bellsprout.." the short monk said, "Good job," he returned his Bellsprout, "Take a long rest," the short one walked in a door and went out of sight.

"Hello Shane," the tall monk turned around and directed his attention to Shane.

"Long time no see Doug," Shane said, walking up to Doug, Dustin followed, "This is my friend Dustin."

"Nice to meet you," Doug said, kneeling down, a tradtion at the Sprout Tower.

"Like wise," Dustin said, confused a little by the tradition, "Where can I battle?" Dustin asked, hoping to kick some butt.

"O yeah," Shane mentioned, "Dustin wants to become a Pokemon Master and enter this year in the Golden Conference."

"Very intresting," Doug said, standing back up, "Prehaps a practice battle would be in mind?"

"YEAH!" Dustin said, enthuasticly, the room they were in was perfect for battling, it was battle mat, in the corner was a door to go up to the next level.

"How about one pokemon each?" Doug asked.

"Cool," Dustin said, Shane got back some as Doug and Dustin seperated for a battle.

"Since it is my home I will choose first," Doug said, "I choose Hoothoot!" Doug said, throwing his pokeball.

"Hoothoot!" the owl chirped, coming out of the pokeball and into the battle arena.

"I see where Shane got his now," Dustin said, looking at Shane, "TOTODILE YOUR UP!" Dustin said, summoning his Totodile to the field.

"DILE!" Totodile roared, "TOTO!" it came to the field hopping up and down.

"HOOTHOOT!" Doug commanded, "GUST!"

"RAZOR WIND!" Dustin replied.

"HOO!" the owl roared, flapping it's wings and creating a small twister coming towards Totodile.

"DILE!" Totodile said, roaring strong, a blast of wind came from it's mouth cutting up the twister.

"HA!" Dustin said, "GOOD JOB TOTODILE!"

"TOTO!" Totodile said, jumping still.

"HOOTHOOT!" Doug started, "SHOW THEM THE SECRET OF OUT TOWER!"

"HOO!" the owl chirped, creating a blinding light towards Totodile.

"AW!" Dustin said, trying to cover his eyes, "HANG IN THERE TOTODILE!"

"TOTO!" the gator said, the light getting to bright.

"TOTODILE LEER!" Dustin commanded.

"DILE!" Totodile, it said, it's eyes turn blood red and cutting through Hoothoot's light.

"HOO!" the owl chirped scared.

"WHAT!" Doug said, "Flash has never failed," he looked at Hoothoot, "HOOTHOOT TRY YOUR PECK!"

"HOOTHOOT!" it said with confidence, trusting it self towards Totodile with it's beak.

"Uh..." Dustin thought, "HIT IT WITH YOUR TAIL!"

"DILE!" Totodile said, Hoothoot came in for the kill but Totodile turned around and smacked it with it's tail, throwing Hoothoot to wall.

"FINISH!" Dustin commanded, "WATER GUN!"

"TOTO!" the gator said, unleashing a spray of water, knocking Hoothoot out.

"Hoothoot..." Doug frowned, "Good try," he returned his pokemon, "Take a rest," Doug walked over to Dustin and put out his hand, "Good battle."

"You too," Dustin said, shaking Doug's hand. "Totodile, good job," Dustin withdrew his Totodile.

"Amazing," Shane said, walking up to the two, "Doug has never been beat," Shane looked over to Dustin, "What a lucky guy."

"I call it skill," Doug said, smirking to Shane.

"I think," Dustin said, "Me and my pokemon are friends."

"You havent even known them that long," Shane said.

"I make friends fast," Dustin smiled.

"Now," Doug said, "That you have beat me," Doug pointed to a corner of the room, with stairs, "We go up a level."

"SWEET!" Dustin said, Shane rolled his eyes.

"This way," Doug said, walking towards the stairs, they started walking up the flight of stairs.

"Whoa..." Dustin said, looking at the carvings of Bellsprout and other pokemon on the walls, "How old is this place?"

"Very old," Doug said, and the three had made it to the last flight, "Here," he opened the door, they walked in.

"COOL!" Dustin said, this room was about the same as the other, there was one monk in the corner.

"HASU!" Doug called the young, short monk over here, "Hasu, this is Dustin, he wishes for a battle."

"I do..." Dustin said, confused. Shane nudged him with his elbow, "O yeah, I wanna battle!"

"Fine," Hasu said, "Shall we call it a dual battle?"

"Um..." Dustin said.

Shane whispered, "That means two."

"O YEAH!" Dustin said. "Thanks Shane," he whispered back.

"Very well," Hasu walked to the end, so did Dustin.

"This will be good," Doug said, he and Shane walked over the edge of the battle area.

"I shall summon Bellsprout!" Hasu said, gently throwing his pokeball.

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout cried, as it was released from it's pokeball.

"Ok.." Dustin said, figuring each monk had a Bellsprout, "TEDDIURSA!" Dustin threw his pokeball.

"RU!" Teddiursa shouted, being called into battle.

"BEGIN!" Doug shouted.

"Bellsprout," Hasu said so calmly, "Sleep powder."

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout shouted, spraying blue powder from it's mouth.

"FAINT ATTACK!" Dustin shouted.

"RU!" Teddiursa said, disolving into the air.

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout said, confused, it's powder missed.

"RU!" Teddiursa reappeared behind Bellsprout and slashed it.

"Bell..." Bellsprout cried in pain, falling down some.

"Bellsprout," Hasu remained calm, "Leech seed..."

"BELL!" Bellsprout said, turning around and shooting two seeds at Teddiursa.

"DODGE!" Dustin commanded.

"RU!" the bear said, jumping into mid-air, Bellsprout's seeds missing.

"BODY SLAM!" Dustin shouted.

"RU!" Teddiursa said, coming down, slamming on Bellsprout hard.

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout said, Teddiursa slamming into it.

"Bellsprout," Hasu still was calm, "Vine whip!"

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout said, it's vines thrusting Teddiursa into the air.

"Wha..." Dustin said, confused, "TEDDIURSA FURY SWIPES!"

"RU RU RU!" Teddiursa said, laughing.

"Huh?" Dustin was confused.

"Bellsprout is tickling Teddiursa," Shane informed Dustin.

"Not good," Dustin said, looking up at Teddiursa laughing.

"Now that we got it Bellsprout," Hasu said, "CONSTRICT!" Hasu's voice was now stern.

"SPROT!" Bellsprout said, squezing the traped-air-caught Teddiursa.

"RU!!!!!!!" Teddiursa cried in pain.

"What!" Dustin felt a lose coming a long.

"RU RU RU!!!!!!!!!" now Teddiursa's laughs turned into cries of pain.

"CONTINUE!" Hasu commanded.

"SPROUT!" Bellsprout said, continuing it's move.

"RU RU RU!!!!!!" the bear cried in extreme pain, Bellsprout's vines squeezed harder.

"Wait a minuted," Dustin though about one of Teddiursa's strongest moves, "THRASH!"

"RU!" Teddiursa said, going in an uncontralable rage, it slashed Bellsprout's vines with it's claws.

"Huh?" Hasu questioned.

"BELL!" the grass pokemon cried in pain, it's vines now being slayed.

"TED!" the bear shouted, now running to Bellsprout, "RU RU RU!" it said, slashing up and down Bellsprout's body.

"SPROUT SPROUT SPROUT!" Bellsprout yelled in pain.

"Enough," Hasu said, "Bellsprout return," Hasu took back his now injured Bellsprout.

"RU!" Teddiursa calmed down.

"Good job," Dustin rewarded his Teddiursa.

"I summon Hoothoot," Hasu said, gently revealing his owl pokemon.

"Hoohoo!" Hoothoot chirped with glee.

"Ok," Dustin said, returning his Teddiursa, "LARVITAR GO!" Dustin threw the ultra ball containing his Larvitar.

"LARV!" Larvitar cried with joy.

"Hoothoot," Hasu said, "FLASH!"

"HOO!" Hoothoot emited a blinding light.

"LARV!" Larvitar cried, trying to cover it's eyes.

"AH..." Dustin said, trying to see, "Larvitar...."

"Quick attack!" Hasu commanded.

"HOOT!" Hoothoot disappeared into the flashing light, it reappeared hitting Larvitar.

"LARV!" Larvitar said, being thrusted back from the impact.

"LARVITAR," Dustin said, "LEER!"

"LARV!" Larvitar said, it's eyes glaring through the light.

"HORN ATTACK!" Dustin shouted.

"He has style," Doug informed Shane, viewing the battle.

"I guess you can call it that," Shane replied.

"LARV!" Larvitar said, thrusting it's horn into Hoothoot.

"HOO!" Hoothoot took the attack hard, being threwn to the ground.

"Hoothoot," Hasu said, "Hypnosis!"

"LARVITAR!" Dustin said, "DODGE!"

"LARV!" it said, too late the waves of psychic had allready rendered Larvitar.

"AH!" Dusitn said.

"We have it now," Hasu smirked.

"What do you call that?" Shane asked Doug.

"Just watch," Doug said stoicly.

"LARV!" Larvitar shouted in it's sleep, creating a ball of fire to appear.

"Huh?" Dustin said, pulling out his pokedex.

"Sleep Talk," Devon said, "Sleep Talk allows a pokemon to use random attacks in the sleeping condition." Dustin put away the dex.

"Hoothoot," Hasu said, "Take Down!"

"HOO!" the owl said, running towards Larvitar.

"SLEEP TALK!" Dustin said.

"LARV!" Larvitar shouted in it's sleep, the fire ball hitting Hoothoot.

"HOO!" Hoothoot shouted, falling to the ground burned.

"AGIAN!" Dustin commanded.

"LARV!" Larvitar said agian, still asleep, static appeared around Larvitar and was shoot at Hoothoot.

"HOO!" the owl said, being shocked until turning dark.

"Enough," Hasu said, "You win," Hasu returned Hoothoot.

"Told you," Doug smirked.

"GOOD JO LARVITAR!" Dusitn said, running to Larvitar and hugging it.

"Larv..." Larvitar said happily.

"Good job," Doug said, he and Shane walked towards Dustin. "Now," Doug started his sentence but was interupted by a scream.

"What?!" Hasu said, running up the stairs, following the scream.

"Larvitar," Dustin returned his Larvitar.

"Come on," Doug said, the three run towards the stair case.

"Ghas..." a ghost pokemon appeared in the way.

"Huh?" Shane said.

"Dont tell me you forgot about me," Kym said, appearing behind the three boys.

"Wha?" Dustin said, turning around, "Not you agian." Dustin was getting tired of running into the two, "Your not getting Larvitar."

"We have what we want," Kym smiled.

"What do you mean?" Shane asked.

"BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a huge explosion came from the right side, making a door way.

"Good bye," Kym blew them a kiss as Ghastly appeared behind her, she jumped out the exploded door.

"What!" Doug said, he ran over to exploded wall and looked down, "They are getting away on an air ballon!" Doug saw a small air ballon, a little basket and a black ballon with a big A on it.

"What did they take?" Dustin asked.

"THE HEAD MONK IS GONE!" Hasu said, running back down to the level Dustin was on.
