Ch 9: The Awesome-est Battle EVAH!! [cuz you're hyper right?] (nod nod)
........................................................................................
How can I win with only Cyndaquil and Bagon? None of them know ANY attacks effective against Rock Pokémon.
Of course, Brendan kept his exterior calm and collected. He was in his realm. No one, especially a schoolgirl, was gonna break his win streak.
"Ready to battle?"
Screw it, I'm gonna get my butt handed to me.
"Yes."
"This match will be 2 vs. 2 Pokémon battle! The challenger may switch his Pokémon, the leader cannot! BEGIN!"
"Nosepass! I choose you!"
"Bagon! Show your stuff!"
Both the Pokémon emerged from their balls at the same time. Bagon growled at the Rock Pokémon with the big orange nose, while Nosepass looked on with a bored expression planted on its face.
"Nosepass use Tackle!" Nosepass ran forward with an unusual speed for Rock Pokémon.
"Dodge it and use Bite!" At the last second Bagon sidestepped and clamped down as hard as possible. It was a good thing that Bagon have some of the strongest set of teeth of all Pokémon, because it definitely would have lost a few if its teeth were any weaker. It let go immediately, the pain shooting up through its mouth too much to bear.
"Magnitude!" Nosepass jumped just a few inches from the ground, and slammed down as hard as it could. Magnitude: 9.
The ground split, and cracks raced towards Bagon. The attack slammed into Bagon and the force of the attack threw it ten feet away from its previous position. The shock wave caused by the attack made Bagon slam against the ground again, and again, again . . .
"Come on Bagon don't give up!" The attack stopped, Bagon still lay there. The referee ran over to the baby dragon.
"Bagon is una––"
Bagon's body twitched, and slowly and very painfully stood up. The attack had clearly shaken it and it was currently eyeing down about 15 Nosepass.
"Yeah! That's right Bagon! We ain't gonna give up just because of some wimpy crack attacks! Use Headbutt!" Bagon shook its head to get rid of the other Nosepass, and once it did it sprinted forward.
"Brace yourself, Nosepass!" Nosepass lowered its rocky body and leaned forward slightly. Bagon lowered its head . . .
And connected. The force of the blow sent Bagon flying head over heals back to near the same place it started, while sending an unfazed Nosepass back about seven feet. As they say, every action has a reaction.
"Magnitude again!" Another quake shook the gym. Magnitude: 8. Bagon was unable to get back up from two Magnitudes and a backfiring Headbutt. It was pronounced unable to continue, and Brendan returned it.
"This isn't good," May's shoulder-perched Torchic nodded in agreement. She watched as Brendan sent out his starter Pokémon: Cyndaquil. "There's nothing we can do to help either." They winced as Cyndaquil was slammed against a rock. It slowly got up. Brendan ordered a Quick Attack, but it did nothing to damage Nosepass. She and Torchic watched as Nosepass was ordered to do another Magnitude. That wasn't a good thing since Fire Pokémon are weak against Ground attacks. It was unable to avoid the Magnitude 6 attack. Greatly weakened from the double-damaging effect of Magnitude, it struggled to stay up and not let its trainer down. Suddenly May thought of something.
"Brendan!" He glanced over to May and looked back to his struggling Cyndaquil. "Nosepass can't do anything during the attack!" He looked back at May and stared at her. Realization came to him and he nodded.
"Cyndaquil Quick Attack!"
"Use Magnitude and finish this match!"
"Jump now Cyndaquil! Land on Nosepass!" He watched Cyndaquil as it jumped just as the Magnitude 9 quake started. Time seemed to slow to near a halt as Brendan watched his Pokémon sail through the air, closer and closer to Nosepass. It landed with a thud on Nosepass' head. Wherever that was.
Let's hope he's had enough training, Brendan thought.
"Use your strongest Flame Wheel!" The flames on Cyndaquil's back flared as a ball of flame engulfed the two Pokémon. The fire spread out around the field, crawling up and over the many rocks, big and small, that littered the field. Everyone looked on as the flames steadily weakened Nosepass.
"Cyndaquil run around and absorb the fire!" Cyndaquil used Agility and sped around the field, its Flash Fire ability taking effect immediately, powering up Cyndaquil and healing it at the same time.
"He can use his own flames to trigger his Flash-Fire?" May asked to no one in particular.
"Use Flamethrower!" An intense blue and white stream of fire shot forth from Cyndaquil's mouth and slammed into Nosepass. Although the attack didn't damage Nosepass too much, the heat was too much for it. It fainted.
"Great job Cyndaquil!" Cyndaquil barely acknowledged its trainer as it crouched low to the ground, awaiting its next opponent. The flames on its back changed with a flicker from its normal colors to blue and white.
Oh yeah, training paid off.
"Sudowoodo! It's your turn!" The tree-looking Rock Pokémon came out from the ball.
"Flame Wheel!" A blue and white fire surrounded Cyndaquil and it shot off towards Sudowoodo.
"Dodge it!" A split second before Cyndaquil would have connected, Sudowoodo bent its body back, going so far it would make Neo jealous. A surprised Cyndaquil flew past it. It hit the ground on all fours and slid to a halt in a sideways position to Sudowoodo.
"Flamethrower!" Brendan ordered. Another blue and white stream of fire shot out of Cyndaquil's mouth and towards Sudowoodo.
"Use Mimic!" Sudowoodo's body started to glow, and much to Brendan and Cyndaquil's surprise, from Sudowoodo's mouth came its own Flamethrower. Red and orange met blue and white as the two fought fiercely in their own version of tug-o-war. Not surprisingly enough, Cyndaquil's Flamethrower overpowered Sudowoodo's, and was only inches away from a direct hit when Roxanne ordered a Rock Smash. It jumped to the side just as its Flamethrower gave way. The only thing Cyndaquil burned was a hole in the wall of the gym. Oh yeah, and the three rocks that were in the way of Cyndaquil and said wall.
Cyndaquil was quite surprised when it saw Sudowoodo running toward him, with its arms held up high over its head. Without even being ordered, Cyndaquil performed a Quick Attack to get itself out of the way. It was a good thing it did that, because Brendan wasn't able to get the command out quick enough, and the 10-foot crater that Sudowoodo left behind told everyone that Cyndaquil would probably not be standing had the attack been successful.
Sudowoodo looked around, trying to find out where its opponent had gone. He had killed the flare on his back and, using the rocks to his advantage, Cyndaquil made his way to a rock near Brendan, which happened to be strategically placed so that neither Sudowoodo nor Roxanne could see the little fire rodent.
Keeping his eyes straight ahead so Roxanne wouldn't guess where Cyndaquil was by looking at him, Brendan issued a series of commands to Cyndaquil. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Cyndaquil nod and run off, making sure not to be seen.
Cyndaquil stopped at a rock near Sudowoodo, still unseen by both Pokémon and trainer. It looked back to its trainer, who gave a slight nod. It nodded and turned back to the rock. It concentrated on breathing for a few seconds, trying to calm his 100-mile-a-second beating heart. Then it jumped onto the top of the rock, startling Roxanne and her Pokémon. Its blue and white flames flared on its back, and it jumped.
As soon as it was right above Sudowoodo Cyndaquil fired off another blue and white Flamethrower. Caught off guard, Sudowoodo was furious as the vicious flames scorched its entire body. Enraged, Sudowoodo brought its hands to its side, in a sort of pre-Kamehameha position. Then its arms shot forward, from its hands came one of the strongest long-range Ground attacks: Mud Shot. The attacks connected with a mini-explosion. The incredible power from both of the attacks kept Cyndaquil suspended in the air, as the two continued their relentless assault, neither giving way to the other.
"Cyndaquil's so powerful," May said with awe as she and Torchic watched the battle, astonished. Still facing the battle, May shifted her eyes to Brendan, who stood there with his arms crossed and a look of solid determination. I never woulda guessed he was this talented. He's one helluva trainer. She looked back at Cyndaquil and Sudowoodo, who seemed to be in a battle to the death.
Two minutes later and the two Pokémon were still going at it. Without warning Sudowoodo increased the power in its attack. The attack steadily pushed back Cyndaquil's Flamethrower.
"He's not going to last much longer," May said. Torchic looked at her, puzzled. "Ground attacks are much stronger than Fire attacks. Cyndaquil has had to put twice as much energy into his Flamethower to keep the attacks in a dead lock." Torchic looked back at Cyndaquil. Looking closer, it noticed that Cyndaquil was indeed struggling to keep up with Sudowoodo. All Torchic got from Sudowoodo was a look of deep concentration. This angered Torchic to no end. How could Sudowoodo not even look like it was trying when Cyndaquil was steadily losing the energy to fight?
"-Cyndaquil you can't give up!-" Cyndaquil averted its eyes to Torchic. "-But you need a new strategy!-" The Flamethrower flickered from blue and white to orange and red and back again. "-Brute force won't win this battle!-" Cyndaquil gave May and Brendan a look that seemed to ask what to do. "-Brendan won't be able to give you orders! You have to think of it on your own! Don't give up, you can think of something!-"
Cyndaquil turned its attention back to the battle, its face showing serious signs of fatigue. 'What can I do? There's nothing I can—' Just then an idea came to Cyndaquil. In a startling move it called off the attack. Then it used Quick Attack to get to the ceiling of the gym. Seeing the Mud Shot race towards him spiked his adrenaline to its full extent. It flared its back as much as possible, and a familiar ball of fire surrounded Cyndaquil just as the Mud Shot slammed into Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil! NO!" It heard its master and best friend call to him, and with a renewed strength, burst out of the Mud Shot, still engulfed in the flame.
"Cyndaquil was using his Flame Wheel as a shield," May said to Torchic. "Incredible."
Cyndaquil raced around the field, trying to avoid the Mud Shot trailing right behind it. Suddenly it stopped and back-flipped as the Mud Shot went right under it. As soon as it landed it mixed its Quick Attack and its Flame Wheel into one attack. Sudowoodo saw its opponent's strategy and called off its own attack. Bringing its hands back to its side, it shot off another Mud Shot, slamming into Cyndaquil head-on. Still using its Flame Wheel as a shield, it ran through the attack like a hot knife through butter. No one could see anything that was happening, except that Sudowoodo was using a Mud Shot and that they knew where Cyndaquil was by looking at the bulge in the Mud Shot due to the attack sliding off the Flame Wheel and going right past it.
"Come on Cyndaquil you can do it!" May cheered.
"Torchic! Tor tor!"
With a final scream the fire on Cyndaquil's back changed back into the blue and white flames as it put on another burst of speed. Once it was five feet from Sudowoodo it fired off its most powerful Flamethower up to date. The close range of the attack killed off the Mud Shot immediately and got the most direct of direct attacks. The heat waves given off by the Flamethrower were more than enough to cause Sudowoodo to faint.
"Sudowoodo is unable to battle! Cyndaquil is the winner!" Cyndaquil sighed, then collapsed.
