Chapter 17: Team Aqua vs. Team Magma pt. 1
The sun gleaned heat and radiated it onto the serene blue ocean, sparkling in a rainbow of multi-colors on the beautiful and peacefully Orange Island Ocean. The small waves broke softly on Lapras' leathery fins as the Transport Pokemon hummed along the ocean sound in it's own language.
Dustin read his PokeGear with the map generated on the screen. "Mandarin Island is next and after that is Trovita Island! And my third gym badge!" he winked. "Dude I'm so psyched!"
"Soon you'll have all four badges," Tyson remarked. "And you'll be able to compete in the Orange League for the League Trophy."
"Trophy?" he questioned.
"Please Dustin tell me you knew about the Trophy!" Kamme sighed as Dustin drew a blank conclusion. "When you earn all four badges you go to the last island, where you challenge the head of the Orange Crew, defeat him and you win the League Trophy."
"You don't battle other trainers?" Dustin asked.
"Nope," Tyson remarked. "Just the leader of the crew, defeat him and you get your foot prints in the Walk of Fame. It's a true honor because the leader of the Orange Crew is the most talented trainer in the whole islands!"
"Tyson lost to him," Kamme inserted.
"Next year will be different though!" Tyson countered Kamme's negative remark. "I needed some training, I've learned that and I now know what to do! My Pokemon know better moves and I've trained with the G-Men, so there's no way I'm losing next year!"
'Why is moves and skills all Tyson cares about? Doesn't he know how to be a friend to is Pokemon?' Dustin thought but decided to remain quiet.
"We'll stop at Mandarin Island and take a break," Kamme informed the two boys. "Then we'll head out to Trovita, so Dustin can try and win his third badge."
-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-
Lapras was engulfed by a red light and withdrawn into Kamme's Pokeball after the three humans walked up on Mandarin Island beach. The beach was empty, no tourist, and no trainers, no one except for the trio.
"This is strange," Tyson noted. "Mandarin Island is one of the top tourist attractions, but no one seems to be here..."
"This is a first," Kamme added. "Mandarin Island always has some one on the beaches...but where are they?" she looked up at the crystal blue sky. "No storm is coming, the sky is as blue as a Marill, so where is everybody?"
"Maybe there is a town meeting or something..." Tyson hypothesized, "Maybe the mayor needed to talk to everyone, or maybe something important like a contest is being held..."
"Lets just head into the city," she pointed to the large buildings past the beach. "I'm sure everyone will be there."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The three teenagers walked into the town of Mandarin Island. The city was huge! Full of tall skyscrapers and tourist attractions out the yin yang, however no tourist or any human life was present.
"No one is here..." Kamme dully stated.
"But the lights in the buildings are on!" Dustin pointed to a skyscraper. "So someone has to be here...right?"
"What could have happened that made everyone go?" Kamme pondered.
"Hey you!" a sharp voice pierced the silence.
The three turned around to see a Magma Grunt and his loyal Mightyena by his side.
"Are you with Team Aqua!" he demanded an answer.
"No..." Kamme answered. "Why is everyone around here gone?!"
"Foolish little girl," the Grunt laughed. "Mandarin Island has been taken over by Team Magma! And there's nothing you little Aqua brats can do about it!"
"We're not with Team Aqua!" Dustin tried to explain but was cut off short.
"Mightyena teach 'em a lesson!" the Grunt ordered.
"Go Shelgon!" Tyson chunked an enlarged Pokeball and summoned out the Dragon type Pokemon. "Use Ember!"
"Shel!" the tiny voice called from inside it's protected exterior, it blew out a few ashes of fire at Mightyena, who was hit by the fires. Mightyena cried in pain as the red embers stung into it's black/gray colored fur.
"Quit crying and use Shadow Ball!"
"Counter with Dragonbreath!"
Before Mightyena could stop crying Shelgon exhaled a jet of green and blue flames, burning into Mightyena's already burnt fur and flesh, causing the Bite Pokemon to fall to it's side with crossed out eyes.
The Magma Grunt withdrew Mightyena with strong distaste. "Stupid kids! You better leave this island before our Admin finds out about this!" with the last word he started to run out of the streets.
"Hey wait up!" Kamme started to run but was cut off by Tyson.
"Don't go, we don't know what's going on," he tried to warn.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Kamme pushed Tyson back a few inches and then continued her trail on the Magma Grunt, ignoring Dustin and Tyson's cries.
"Kamme wait!" Tyson called, but it was too late, Kamme had already run out of the two boy's sight.
"Dude we need to go find her! What if Team Magma hurts her or something?" the dark haired trainer asked.
"She can handle herself," Tyson, full of anger, replied. "We need to find out what's going on here and where all the people are being held hostage."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Wait! Wait!" Kamme screamed after running down another alley, hot on the trail of the Magma Grunt. "Wait!" she panted hard and stopped running, placing one hand on the side of a building to hold herself up.
All the running was in vain however, as the Magma Grunt laughed and ran out of Kamme's vision. No telling where he was headed, probably to report in to his Admin leader of something to that effect.
Kamme slowly picked herself back up; she continued to inhale oxygen at a swift motion, trying to catch her breath. She finally gathered enough energy to stand again, with a determined look on her face she began to ponder.
'Team Magma is here...but that Grunt said something about Team Aqua...' she thought. 'Team Magma has all the people hostage...' she began to think again. 'That's a lot of people...and the only place where they could all be is at the Devon Building!'
Luckily for Kamme she had been to Mandarin Island many times with her sister. It was one of her favorite islands! Mandarin was the only island in the Orange Islands to have a Devon Building, which was the largest building on the island.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"No one here either," Dustin said as he walked out of the Pokemon Center. "Not even a Nurse Joy, so the Magmas must have got all the people...somewhere."
"Dude where could they be?" Tyson questioned.
"Stop right there Team Magma!" a female's voice screeched.
The two boys turned around and meet with a female Aqua Grunt, who had an enlarged Pokeball in her hand and a fierce glare in her eyes.
"We're not with Team Magma," Dustin sighed. "Or Team Aqua..."
"If you're not with Team Aqua you're the enemy!" she threw the Pokeball and summoned out a Golbat. "Now surrender!"
"You're turn again Shelgon!" Tyson recalled Shelgon into the battlegrounds. "Use Ember!"
"Dodge with Agility!" she replied.
Shelgon fired off a fireball into the air, however Golbat moved to the left and dodged the move completely. The Bat Pokemon then screeched with joy, it was mocking Shelgon in it's own lingo.
"Now use Aerial Ace!" she laughed.
"Bat!" Golbat went dive bomb, holding it's right wing out and slicing into Shelgon's leather exterior as the Bat Pokemon flew down. Golbat then regained speed and flew back up as Shelgon cried in pain.
"Use Dragon Claw!" Tyson ordered.
"Shel! Shel!" the Dragon type couldn't move. On the top of it's exterior was a huge red gash from Golbat's sharp wing.
"Quit crying and get up!" Tyson shouted.
'He sounds just like that Magma did...' Dustin said to himself mentally.
"GET UP!" Tyson roared, however Shelgon continued to yell in pain from the large cut in it's skin. Tyson's face was bleached a dark red color, a sign of anger. "GET –
"TYSON!" Dustin interrupted.
"What?!" he jerked back at Dustin.
"Quit being mean to Shelgon!" Dustin instructed. "You're being mean! The more you yell the more Shelgon cries in pain! You're not helping by being mean to your Pokemon!"
"...." Tyson was speechless. His red face was erased as his jaw slowly fell; his eyes meet with the injured Dragon type.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to scream..." Dustin apologized.
"No..." Tyson looked down at the ground, "You're right...my Pokemon hate me...I lost to the leader of the Orange Crew because I was mean and not a good friend to my Pokemon...I'm just as heartless as Team Magma and Aqua..."
"Why thank you darling," The Aqua laughed. "But I really need to finish you off so could we please continue our battle?"
A tear rolled down Tyson's cheek and fell to the concrete ground. "I'm sorry Shelgon...from now on I won't be mean to you anymore...I promise..."
"Finish Shelgon off with another Aerial Ace!" the Grunt evilly chuckled.
"GOL!" the teal colored bat flew down with it's right wing out. As it drew closer to Shelgon the Dragon type roared and blew out a jet of hot red and yellow flames, completely enwrapping Golbat and burning every asset of the Bat Pokemon!
"SHELGON!" Tyson's tears increased and fell from his cheeks.
"GON!" Shelgon cried; blowing out more flames and burning even more of Golbat's hide. Shelgon then stopped burning out flames as Golbat hit the ground with crossed out eyes and burnt black skin.
"...N-n-no...H-h-h-ow?" the Aqua stuttered as she withdrew her knocked out Golbat with a red flash of light from her Pokeball.
"Friendship!" Tyson answered. "A strong bond with your Pokemon is much more powerful than really strong moves!" he looked at Dustin, "A close friend and good trainer taught me that!"
Before another word was spoken Shelgon was overwhelmed by a bright white light. Shelgon was evolving...His small body morphed into a larger figure, the exterior unfolded into a huge pair of crimson wings. The final form reared up it's newly developed neck and roared it's name, "SALAMENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Where is that Devon Building?" Kamme asked herself as she walked around a part of the city. "I know it was around here somewhere..." she looked up at a few skyscrapers. "But where is it...?"
"Might! Might!" a Mightyena barked from behind Kamme.
She did a 360 and came face to face with a Mightyena, who had it's fangs showing. By the Bite Pokemon's side was a male Magma Grunt with a grin on his face.
"Hello little girl," the Grunt laughed. "So you're looking for the Devon Building, I'm afraid I can't let you go there."
"You're not going to tell me where I can and can't go!" she enlarged a Pokeball. "Go Milotic!" she chunked the red and white ball and called forth her newest Pokemon, who formed on the ground and cheered happily.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"DUDE!" Dustin's eyes went star struck. "Shelgon evolved!" he pulled out his PokeDex and scanned.
"Salamence," Devon the dex began, "The Dragon Pokemon, Salamence has finally achieved the ability to fly and can now fire off more powerful jets of flames from it's mouth, Salamence is a fierce Pokemon and rivals the power of a Dragonite." Devon finished and Dustin put up the dex in his bag.
"Awesome job!" Tyson congratulated his Pokemon. He then turned his gaze at the Aqua Grunt. "Where is everyone!" he demanded.
"I'll never tell!" she smirked.
"Sala!" the Dragon Pokemon gave a slight roar.
"-Uh?!" she jumped back with fear and unease. "Team Magma...and Team Aqua...are at the Devon Building...but that's all I'm saying!"
"Fine," Tyson grinned.
"I'm out of here!" she started to run the opposite direction of the two boys. She ran with all the might in her leg muscle until she reached out of Tyson and Salamence's sight.
"She'll get caught later," Tyson told Dustin. "But we need to get to the Devon Building! The only thing is it's on the other side of the city..." he grimly remarked.
"Mence!" Salamence offered a ride to it's trainer and friend.
"Oh yeah!" Tyson smiled. "We can ride of Salamence!" he walked up to his Pokemon, "That's ok right dude?" he smiled when Salamence nodded. Tyson jumped on the Dragon Pokemon's back.
Dustin also got on Salamence's back behind Tyson. "Dude!" he cheered, "This is so going to rock!" the dark hair trainer had never ridden a Salamence before.
"Mence!" Salamence flapped up it's blood colored wings and drew a strong gale, blowing up some pieces of loose concrete from the ground. With a quick run Salamence jumped into the air, his wings out high and kicking hard.
Salamence flew high above the buildings, almost touching the clouds. From his point of view the oceans and sea life looked like spots on a blue chalk board, the buildings hardly looked huge from this far up in the air.
"To the Devon Building!" Tyson pointed to the largest building in the city. His shaggy hair was being blow in the wind as he latched onto Salamence tightly, as did Dustin.
"Dude!" Dustin shouted as his hair was also blown in every direction of the wind, his grip got stronger and tighter on Salamence's leathery skin, "THIS TOTALLY ROCKS!"
DONE! Well partly, lol. Next chapter will be the conclusion of the Magma vs. Aqua. Anyways Tyson finally got Salamence! I love Salamence! Anyways I'll do reviews next chapter.
