Hey people, here's the next two chapters! Don't own Pokemon, similar ideas not plagiarized; don't assume unless it's true. I've just returned from a band banquet and seeing my high school musical, but luckily I've updated! Enjoy!
Chapter 19: Glitter Lighthouse Return
After Angelina and Jeremy re-boarded the tourist boat the next morning, they were heading back to Olivine City so Angelina could challenge Jasmine to a gym battle. They arrived at the Pokemon Center and sat down at one of the tables as Nurse Joy held their Pokemon in the back.
"So what's your plan for the gym battle?" Jeremy asked, "Steel types are one of the strongest types, all most resistant to everything."
"But not fire," Angelina smiled, "Charcoal is gonna burn through all those steel types."
"You're most likely gonna have to fight two Pokemon," Jeremy corrected Angelina, "I seriously doubt your Charmeleon can handle them all."
"Have some faith," Angelina replied, "With my Pokemon that badge is as good as mine!"
"Don't get too ahead of yourself," Jeremy warned. "Remember Jasmine won't fight anyone unless her Ampharos is back to healthy condtions."
"Oh that's right," Angelina said just a light sound went off.
"Your Pokemon are healed, let me go get them," Joy smiled and walked behind the counter, then returning with two trays of Pokeballs, they took them and thanked the nurse. They arrived back to the lighthouse, but upon walking inside, they were in for a big surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Angelina saw her rival, Seamus Nichols, standing in front of her and Jeremy.
"Well, for your information, I was here to try to solve the problem so I could battle the gym leader." Seamus informed. "But once a weakling, always a weakling…. kind of like you, Angelina. Your Pokémon suck, and you know it! I bet you don't even know what type of Pokémon the gym leader uses, do you?"
"Yeah, I actually do!"
"Well, they probably give you badges out of pity, not because your Pokémon are strong! I bet you can't beat me, could you?" Seamus sneered. "Let's go, Angelina. I challenge you! Go, Kadabra!" he threw out a Pokeball that revealed the evolved form of Abra but taller and with long whiskers.
"Shadow, go!" Angelina threw out her Pokeball, revealing her Dark-Disaster Pokemon. "Use Quick Attack!" Absol charged at Kadabra and went to hit it, but Kadabra teleported away. "Absol, that's okay, use Headbutt!" Absol saw Kadabra out of the corner of her eye and turned around fast enough to make Kadabra take a blow in the stomach. "Okay Shadow, use Quick Attack while it's distracted!" Absol rammed into Kadabra again, doing mediocre damage.
"Kadabra, Psybeam," Seamus commanded. Kadabra held its spoon out, and shortly after a beam came out, aimed towards Absol.
Absol came back with a Bite, which Angelina knew was super-effective against Psychic Pokemon since Bite was a Dark-type attack. "All right Shadow, another Bite!" Absol ran up to Kadabra and bit it again.
"Your Absol's so stupid! It's pathetic, too!" Seamus growled, returning his fainted Pokemon. "But somehow you won…. just…. somehow…. well, no matter. I will win. I will win!" he threw out another Pokeball. "Come out, Feraligatr!" A monstrous alligator-like Pokémon emerged, intimidating Absol.
Absol was so scared by this that it didn't want to fight and ran back towards Angelina and hid behind her.
"Scary Face, Feraligatr!" Seamus ordered as his Feraligatr stared at Absol some more and then made a hideous face.
"Abbb!" Absol screeched.
"Return, Shadow. You can't be scared of something while you're in your Pokéball." Angelina reassured, then grinned at Pichu on her shoulder. "Let's go, Sparkette!" the electric tiny-mouse jumped down, ready to defeat its opponent no matter what it is. "Thunderbolt!"
Pichu launched the electric shock at Feraligatr, but it took it as if it were nothing.
"But, how can that be?" Angelina was shocked and yet confused. "Feraligatr is the final evolution of Totodile, right? That would make Feraligatr a Water-type Pokémon. But, it took Thunderbolt like it was a Ground Pokémon. How could that be possible?"
"My Feraligatr is so well trained, it could beat anybody. I train it more than any other Pokémon I have," Seamus said proudly.
"Is that why all of your other Pokémon suck?" Angelina asked, snickering.
"What?" Seamus grits his teeth. "You will pay for this…. Feraligatr, Ice Punch!" Feraligatr's fist turned to ice and was in a punching frenzy. Angelina knew that, if Seamus wasn't lying, none of his Pokémon stood a chance.
"Sparkette, Thunder!" Angelina ordered.
This was a very advanced attack, and Angelina wasn't sure if Pichu could pull it off. Pichu did not want to let Angelina down, and so she gathered as much electric energy as she could, and then released the electric-attack upon Feraligatr.
"Feraligatr, dodge it! Move to your left!" Seamus commanded. For such a massive Pokémon, Blastois could easily move out of the way of Thunder. "Okay, good. Now use Rain Dance to power up your Water techniques!" Feraligatr roared, and then rain started coming down from the roof.
"What a weird attack. You are not honestly going to try to drown my Pichu, are you?" Angelina laughed and resumed her serious battle face. "Sparkette, use another Thunder. I know you can use it, you did just a second ago. Come on Sparkette, I'm counting on you!"
'She's counting on me,' Pichu thought to herself. 'I have to pull this off. I have to!' She charged up again, and then another used Thunder. This time, however, it was impossible for Feraligatr to dodge it. Rain Dance makes Thunder 100 accurate, and therefore it nailed Feraligatr right on the nose (not literally; it's an expression).
"What, no, that can't be! Feraligatr can't lose, it's not a weakling like you and your Pokémon!" Seamus was outraged, yet held out the Pokeball. "Damn you, Feraligatr!" and the Pokemon disappeared in a red beam, Seamus took out another Pokeball and threw it. "Go, Scyther!"
As the Mantis-Bug Pokemon came out, Angelina wondered if Pichu had enough energy left to attack. She did not want to take that risk, and so she recalled the electric Pokemon.
"What? Are you scared that Scyther will beat up your poor little Pichu?" Seamus teased. "Well, hurry up and send out your next Pokémon!"
"Fine then." Angelina threw another Pokeball that contained a red-flame insignia. "Come out, Charcoal! Attack with Flame Wheel!"
Flames rose about Charmeleon, and then surrounded and engulfed Scyther…. or at least, Angelina thought it did.
"Scyther, Swords Dance!" Seamus demanded.
Scyther started spinning around in circles, making the flames do the same. As Scyther was doing this, small swords started spinning around Scyther's head. Angelina guessed, that Seamus's Scyther was like Bugsy's, it was very, very well trained. This could mean that Scyther could deflect any attack as easily as he protected himself from Flame Wheel.
Angelina had to think of something, and fast. "Charcoal, Quick Attack!" the fire lizard disappeared for a second, and then reappeared behind Scyther. Charmeleon went to tackle Scyther from behind when, all of a sudden, Scyther disappeared!
"Good job, Scyther." Seamus grinned. "Now use Slash!"
Scyther had apparently used its Agility to dodge Charmeleon's Quick Attack, and was going to Slash Charmeleon to death! Little did Angelina know, however, Charmeleon knew that Scyther was going to be behind him; it was pretty predictable. Scyther went to use Slash when Charmeleon turned around and used Flamethrower.
"Scyther, no! How did this happen?" Seamus cried, angered. "I'm almost out of Pokémon…. almost…." He brought out a fourth Pokeball. "Come out, Vulpix!" A small, reddish-pink Pokémon with six tails howled in appearance.
"Fighting Fire-with-Fire, huh?" Angelina raised her eyebrow. "Well, if you insist. Charcoal, Flamethrower!"
Charmeleon shot flames out of his mouth at Vulpix.
"Vulpix, your Flamethrower!"
Vulpix's and Charmeleon's fire met in between them, causing an explosion, knocking both Charmeleon and Vulpix out.
"Charcoal, come back." Angelina recalled her Pokemon and threw out her last Pokeball. "Go, Rocky!"
"Fine then," Seamus also returned his Vulpix and brought out his last Pokemon. "Go, Golbat! Use your Steel Wing!"
"Rocky, Rock Slide!"
Golbat dove at Graveler while the Rock Pokemon hurled rocks at it. Golbat dodged them, and then hit Graveler with its metal wings. Graveler recovered from this quickly, and then used Rock Slide again. Golbat was pummeled with rocks, and fainted.
"Damn it!" Seamus cursed, stomping the ground. "You beat me…. but how? My Feraligatr was awesome. It couldn't lose…. but it did…. somehow it did…. oh, well. I concede defeat. You win. Just…. just go away."
Angelina nodded, calling back her Pokémon and headed up the stairs with Jeremy. They finally made their way to the top floor; catching their breath before giving Jasmine the small brown pouch they recieved from the Cianwood Pharmacy and explained to Jasmine it was strong medicine and it would work.
With utmost care, Jasmine gave Sparkle the medicine but it's condition seemed to remain the same as Angelina was about to give up hope until the Pokemon breathed deeply as it began to feel better.
"...Oh, I'm so relieved," Jasmine sighed, smiling as she hugged her Pokemon in a light embrace. She turned her to Angelina and Jeremy gratefully. "Thank you so very, very much."
"You're welcome," Angelina replied cheerfully. "I'm glad Sparkle looks better too! So when can we battle?"
"Tomorrow at my gym," Jasmine replied. "I'm really tired, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Works for me," Angelina nodded, "See you later," she and Jeremy waved goodbye as they walked to the stairs, which they found surprisingly easier than gong up, and left the light house.
