Chapter 3
As the battle started, all six of Team Dark's pokemon started to charge towards the opposition. The three trainers ordered their pokemon to dodge the upcoming attacks and the pokemon did as they were instructed as they jumped out of harm's way.
The psychotic pokemon attempted to retaliate apart from Samson the masked Machamp who stopped in front of Black Jack and looked at him wildly in the eyes while he coldly looked back at his.
As the stare down continued, with Samson growling, Tyranitar grabbed Samson from behind and forcefully turned him around to pummel him like he was a punching bag.
"Tyranitar," Black Jack said. "See if Blaziken is busy enough to use the double team attack."
Tyranitar looked at his partner, Chan the Blaziken, finishing off his attack on Shocker. Chan signalled that he was ready to use a double team attack against Samson after he hit his opponent on the chest with a double palm shot sending him flying towards the end of the room.
Tyranitar gave Samson a couple more punches to the head and then shoved him towards Blaziken.
"Chan, Blaze Kick," Black Jack said with confidence.
Chan did as he instructed as he gave the masked Machamp his flaming roundhouse kick to the face, knocking him down as the back of his head fell harshly on the steel floor.
"Nice one, boys," Black Jack said with a confident smile.
At Ash's location, he was focusing his attacks on Berserker and Scar Maker. As the enemy charged towards his pokemon he looked round to see what he could do to counter. "Got it," he said, predicting that his upcoming plan would work.
"Sceptile!" he yelled as he turned to the gecko pokemon. "Duck!"
Sceptile did as he was instructed as he ducked down, waiting for further instructions.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled. "Grab a weapon and use Sceptile to launch your Iron Tail attack with it!"
Pikachu squeaked loudly as he quickly grabbed a trashcan lid while running up to Sceptile's back. He leapt on Sceptile's shoulder and leapt of high into the air to dive down towards one Berserker, like a missile, using the lid to slam it on its face.
Scar Maker became distracted was about to attack Pikachu but Sceptile retaliated by slamming his large tail on the back of the mantis's neck, knocking him down.
"That oughta knock them out," Ash said as Sceptile and Pikachu leapt back towards their trainer. But to their shock, Scar Maker and Berserker picked themselves up, momentarily dazed.
"Oh boy," Ash muttered. "Not good."
Meanwhile, Wes was focusing on Mincer and Rottweiler with his Espeon and Umbreon. Both of his pokemon dodged as Houndoom shot out a huge lick of flame towards Wes's pokemon, who barely dodged out of the way.
Mincer was about to slam its head onto Umbreon's body, but Wes saw it coming. "Espeon!" he yelled. "Psychic attack!"
A blue energy began to surround Espeon's body as it focused on a trashcan and used its Psychic powers to float its weapon and tossed it towards the armoured rhino, slamming it on its head, making it momentarily dazed.
"Hit it again!" Wes yelled. "Umbreon! Attack Rottweiler with your Body Slam!"
"Umbre, umbre!" Umbreon cried encouragingly towards his fighting companion as it charged towards the devilish dog.
Espeon kept on focusing its energy on the trashcan and the crazed Aggron as it slammed the trashcan on Mincer repeatedly, but Mincer still wouldn't fall down.
Espeon was growing tired as the blue energy started disappearing; Mincer was about to attack Espeon until Umbreon hit its hind leg with its tackle attack, tripping it over.
Umbreon checked on Espeon to see if it was all right, much to Wes's concern. Espeon gave a nod as it stood up. "Looks like we're gonna be busy for a while," the Snagem renegade thought as he checked to see what was going on Black Jack's side.
Back at Black Jack's location, Black Jack's pokemon were dominating against Samson and Shocker. He took a steel shovel out of the trashcan he was carrying.
"Tyranitar," he called out and Tyranitar turned his attention towards him and he tossed the weapon to him. Seeing what Black Jack's intentions were, he showed a nasty smile and turned his attention back to the pokemon he was mainly battling against… Samson.
Tyranitar held the shovel up, ready to slam it onto Samson's head while he struggled to get to his feet. As he stood straight up, Tyranitar slammed the shovel hard on top of Machamp's skull knocking him down. The impact was so hard that the whole world could've heard it.
Meanwhile, Blaziken was focusing on Shocker as Shocker was unleashing his Thunderpunches but repeatedly missing as Blaziken kept on dodging.
"(You're letting your anger and Team Dark's technology take control of you)," Chan said as he distanced himself away from his opponent. "(My friends and I don't want to fight you this way)."
Shocker let out a loud roar in response. "(Very well)," Chan replied back. "(I did say we don't want to fight you… but that doesn't mean we won't)."
The Electabuzz kept on using his Thunderpunch attacks to inflict damage on the dual fire and fighting pokemon but to no avail as he kept on dodging out of harm's way. Chan eventually landed a kick on Shocker's chest sending him flying until his back hit the steel wall. As Chan expected, Shocker showed no signs of stopping since his powers were increased by Team Dark's underhanded chemistry.
The battling continued until, suddenly, a blackout occurred in the entire base, making everyone confused of what was going on. "Hey!" Ash yelled. "What's going on here?"
"Lawrence!" Wes yelled. "Is this one of your tricks?"
"I have nothing to do with this," Lawrence yelled in a serious tone. "Someone bring the lights back up!"
In no time at all, the lights came back on. But Ash, Wes and their respective pokemon became shocked, as they looked at Black Jack's direction.
Black Jack showed an angry expression while his pokemon looked badly beaten. Tyranitar was still standing but Chan was struggling to get to his feet.
"Black Jack!" Ash yelled. "Has Lawrance…"
"Gartner is telling the truth. He had nothing to do with this," Black Jack snarled. "It was someone else…"
