Vs Electabuzz
Surge glares down at Red and his pokemon as the electric pokemon behind Surge continue to fire random sparks in the air giving them an impressive look. "You're going to wish you had never been born when I'm finished with you…first question why are you here?" asked Surge as a Magnemite shocked Red.
The Magnemite stopped shocking as Red began to speak "You have been stealing pokemon from the trainers of Vermillion city and I'm here to get them back."
"Stupid kid cant you see I'm helping these pokemon away from this boring place, they never battle, they never feel the exhilaration of victory or defeat. I'm saving these pokemon after all battling is what pokemon are made for" laughed Surge in his booming voice.
"That's not all pokemon are for and anyway you still have no right to steal them and I'm going to beat you and take them back" said Red a he defiantly got to his feet.
"You have no chance against the pokemon I've got guarding my liner, I believe you already met" said Surge as he motioned to the door and the huge silhouette of a pokemon Red had seen in the darkness of the room earlier stepped into view. The pokemon in about the size of Red and is bright yellow with black stripes and an evil look on it's face.
"Electrabuzz!" screams the pokemon as it hurls a thunderpunch at the boy, Red rolls out of the way with Poli only to find a smoking hole on the floor where he had been previously sitting. Red feels the wetness of his pants and notices a small puddle of water extending slowly towards Surge and Electrabuzz, he looks down to Poli who winks at him and continues to slowly bubble water towards the two.
"Time to finish this…Electrabuzz Thunder!" orders Surge as Electrabuzz powers up Its most powerful attack.
"Ice beam" orders Red as Poli jumps to life and freezes the water beneath their enemies feet. Surge and Electrabuzz scream in horror as they slip and land on the floor. Red and Poliwhirl explode into the corridor and begin to sprint away from the gym leader who tries to get to his feet only to fall again.
…
"I think the coast is clear, there's only a few Magnamites scouting around" said Red as he poked his head out of the crate full of pokeballs he and Poli had hid in. Surge smiles as his Magneton unleashes a sonic boom on Red from behind making him cover his ears in pain. When the noise stops and Red looks up he sees Surge holding his struggling Poliwhirl by it's leg while Electrabuzz threatens it with a charged attack. Surge grins as Electrabuzz unleashes it's attack and Surge hurls the limp body into the ocean from the deck of the huge liner. Red bolts towards Poli but is stoped as three Magnetons unleash an electric field to trap him. Red is helpless and can do nothing but watch Poli hit the water hard below him.
"Maybe this will remind you not to get involved in other peoples business" laughs Surge as Electrabuzz unleashes another attack on Red knocking him out. "Throw him overboard" orders Surge to his Magneton who float overboard and release Red and he drops silently into the waters of the Vermillion ocean.
…
Red sinks deeper and deeper while he dreams about his Poli whirl…
(Flashback)
A young Red who is wearing his usual cap rushes through the woods screaming as a happy looking Caterpie who looks like it wants to play follows him, Red continues to scream as he trips over a tree root and goes headfirst into the river which ran through the woods. He screams but no words come out and water rushes into his lungs, he is just about to pass out when he feels something grab him from below and pushes him to the surface. The boy coughs up some water and watches as a Poliwag climbs ashore drops him on the floor and fires a water gun at the Caterpie.
(Present)
"That's the end of that" growled Surge as he watched Red's body descend into the dark waters "I still better tell the boss." Surge turns his back on the water and takes a few steps when suddenly there is a loud thud behind him. He and Electrabuzz turn coming face to face with a coughing Red and his newly evolved Poliwrath, Poliwrath carefully puts Red down before glaring at Surge and Electrabuzz.
"Thunder!" orders Surge, Electrabuzz powers up but before it can unleash it's attack the fist of Poliwrath crashes into the face of the electric pokemon causing it to stumble back in pain. Surge looks at his tired pokemon and begins to run, Poli grabs Electrabuzz who looked like it was charging for another attack and began to spin round and round, Poli hurls Electrabuzz into Surge with a Seismic toss attack knocking both over the deck and into the sea.
…
Red smiles at the police officer from under his huge towel as the last of the sailors is put in the back of the police van, Surge couldn't be found but all in all it is a happy ending. Red looks at all the pokemaniacs who are hugging their pokemon and welcoming them back.
"I had immense fun with your Pikachu and your Poliwrath looks so good after evolving…have you seen my Abra?" asks Howard fervently as he looks for his little psychic pokemon.
"There are no Abras aboard but perhaps this can help you" said Red with a smile as he hands the one unclaimed pokeball to Howard, Howard looked bemused as he released the pokemon inside, the Alakazam smiles at Howard and hugs its trainer as Red begins to laugh at Howard's shocked expression.
