Quest for Life

Chapter four- 'Steel Vs. Ice, Clash of the Gods! Part two of the battle'

As Caryn quickly recovered from the synthetic steel wing attack, she ran towards Silver punching him hard in the gut. He easily recovered from the attack and shattered her wrist bones with a quick ki punch to her left wrist. Silver smirked and tried to slash at her neck. Using her acquired speed, she performed an agility attack to dodge. As quickly as one could blink, she threw out one of her three pokeballs. "Come on out, Seel!" she yelled frantically.
As the small seal pokemon emerged, she clapped her fins and cried out her name happily. Kiru quickly sent Devlis into the battle so that he could gain some slightly needed battle experience. The two Devil's pokemon each stared the other down and finally Seel shot an ice beam at Devlis. Just as the Poochyena was about to be hit by the powerful blast of ice, he disappeared in thin air, only to land behind Seel and clamp onto her small horn with his powerful chomp attack. As Seel began to shake him off, he used an equally powerful slash attack on Seel's face.
As Sapphire, Kaoru, Officer Jenny, and Nurse Joy arrived, one by one, they saw Silver using Devlis's abilities to benefit all of the townspeople within the area, and the two officials, Joy and Jenny, began to change their outlook of the boy. Soon, after another five minutes of successful battling, Caryn's Seel was defeated. As the officers watched, they both began wondering why Silver wasn't simply executing a final blow upon his opponent's obviously injured pokemon. -Why is this Devil acting nothing like the cold, heartless murderer that everyone says he is? - Thought Jenny. -He seems like a very kind young man.-Both trainers returned their pokemon as ceremoniously as they had sent them out to battle. They quickly threw out a pokeball each with no introduction. From Caryn's appeared a very powerful looking Cloyster, and from Silver's appeared his Torchic, Sinless.
"How fitting that the powerful silver Devil would choose a fire starter to forge his power in the Hoenn region," said Caryn. "While all other Devil's keep all of their pokemon from when we had all started in the Kanto area, nearly seven years ago." Caryn stopped suddenly, and ordered Cloyster to attack with her Spike Cannon. Cloyster was about to impale the surprised Devil and his Torchic, Sinless, when Silver jumped in front of Sinless, knocking his small fire bird out of the way, causing the large spike to shoot through his right arm, severing it. Realizing the giant mistake that she had just made, she recalled her Cloyster and began running at her top speed. Silver on the other hand (no pun intended), was transforming into a large, PO'ed Charizard, and blasted towards Caryn. Silver easily caught up, by flight, and knocked Caryn to the ground with one of his powerful Iron tail attacks. After that show of the transform attack, he returned to his previous, one-armed self and prepared to leave, when he was shot in what remained of his right shoulder. He turned around and saw Sara-Kinu the Psychic, with a powerful .45 mm colt magnum in her hand.
"Damn you, S-K!" said Silver angrily. Silver rushed her, giving him the battle disadvantage, but she quickly blasted him with a powerful psy- wave attack. Silver began feeling the pain of the psychic's unnatural raw mind powers. Silver felt much more pain as he began to try and battle back with his own telekinetic powers. Slipping into unconsciousness, he began awaiting death's cold grip to overtake him.
Just as he was about to give up all hope of winning the battle and keeping his life, Caryn stood up and slapped SK then started yelling at her. "Dammit, sis! You and I both know that the omnipotent Devil Lord wants 0013 alive and well so that he can use his Devil Transformation ability to the HDG's advantage. Psychically bind him and let's bring the little boy in!" Silver began lifting himself silencing the two sister Devil's, both wondering how anything could stay conscious through all the pain he was enduring and the massive blood loss. Silver drew back and was just about to slam his remaining fist through Caryn's stomach, when S-K teleported away with her, leaving Silver beaten, bloody, and tired. Sapphire, Kaoru, Jenny, and Joy appeared and the second Silver saw the three, fell into the bliss of unconsciousness.
As young Silver awoke in the morning, he noted that he was in a hospital bed, and that his arm had either grown back or been replaced with one of the ever popular 'battle arms'. At closer examination, he saw that he had a quad-blade battle arm, meaning that it was an arm with blades that appeared from the top, bottom, left, and right of the wrist by a spring deployment. Soon Joy came in and took his temperature. It was then that Silver realized why he was so at peace within the room. It was because the building was a pokemon center, and him, having traits of all 351 pokemon could relax and recline within the buildings safe walls. "You seem able to recover at an abnormal rate. I'm guessing that that is one of the perks of being a Devil, Mr. Koranai." said Joy, smiling quite sweetly at her patient. "You will be fully healed in about two hours, Silver. You may then leave and continue your journey. The people of this city wish you good health and god-speed."

"You are fully healed Silver-kun. If you ever need medical attention, say that I sent you." said Joy, helping Silver up. As he walked out of the treatment area, people crowded around him, thanking the boy for saving them all from the powerful and evil Devil. Knowing by now not to argue with praise, he sat there and told the people that it wasn't really something to go completely crazy over. Nevertheless, they continued thanking him.
Finally, he said, "If you all really want to repay me, just come to my battle against the gym leader of this town, Roxanne. I believe she uses rock Pokemon I believe, so it shouldn't be too hard to win." As he walked out, he was greeted by his traveling partner, Sapph, only to see her in a state of depression. As he walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder she turned around and instantly became jubilant. She hugged him like there was no tomorrow, that is, until they toppled over. Both blushing, they headed towards the gym, in hopes of a good battle.
