Chapter 2
"Tyranitar, take on Tombstone!" Black Jack instructed. "Chan, take on Darkfire!"
"My thoughts exactly," Damien thought to himself while showing his evil smile.
Tyranitar did as he was ordered as he grabbed hold of Tombstone and pushed him until his opponent's back hit the rocky mountains while Chan and Darkfire engaged in a martial arts type of combat.
"Tyranitar! Mega Punch!" Black Jack yelled. Tyranitar, while holding Tombstone's neck with one lifted his clenched paw, as he was about to slam it on Tombstone's face.
"Tombstone! Dodge his attack!" Damien ordered.
Tombstone responded as he quickly slipped out of his opponent's grasp and skid past him. "Now, Hyper Beam! Up close!" Damien yelled.
Tombstone breathed in and quickly shot out a huge and powerful light beam at Tyrnaitar but missed as Tyranitar ducked and the beam hit the mountains, causing it to crumble and fall on top of them. It didn't take them to break out of the rubble; despite dirt and bruises on parts of their bodies they showed no signs of pain.
As the battle ensued between the two Tyranitar, Black Jack and Damien focused on their respective Blaziken. Chan and Darkfire grasped paws harshly, putting their strength against each other.
"(So)," Blaziken said. "(What's your fighting style?)"
"(Wouldn't you like to know)," Darkfire replied as he shoved his opponent away.
As they distanced away from each other, they both stood in their fighting stance. "Darkfire," Damien said. "Ember attack."
A small purple fireball appeared on Darkfire's paw as he tossed it along the ground, sending it towards Chan at the speed of a bullet being shot out of a gun.
"Chan!" Black Jack yelled. "Jump to dodge his attack!"
"Predictable," Damien thought with a smirk.
As Chan attempted to leap over, the dark ember shot out a huge pillar out of the ground towards him. Chan and Black Jack never saw this coming as the fiery pillar struck the red fighter from underneath; Chan fell harshly to the floor as the result of that attack, now surrounded with dark flames all around him.
"Chan!" Black Jack yelled. "Get up!"
"Blazi!" Chan cried loudly, which meant, "I can't!"
"Why can't you move?" Black Jack asked in a confused tone.
"He became immobilised," Damien replied. "Thanks to one of the techniques I taught to Darkfire."
Black Jack gave a small, frustrated growl in response. "But don't worry," Damien continued. "It's only temporary… unless he's unconscious or dead."
The eyes of Black Jack and Chan became widened, predicted what Damien's next attack would be. "Darkfire!" Damien yelled. "Kill!"
Darkfire smiled sinisterly as he leapt into the air and shaped his paw like a knife, attempting to stab Chan in the neck.
"Tyranitar!" Black Jack yelled. "Chan needs your help!"
Tyranitar nodded as he heard Black Jack's command as he shoved Tombstone away and proceeded to help his friend by quickly ramming Darkfire into another mountain. While Tyranitar dealt with Darkfire the flames that surrounded Chan began to fade away making him able to fight again as he quickly stood up.
"Tyranitar! Chan! Get ready to double team!" Black Jack yelled.
Tyranitar held Darkfire by the wall of the mountain and gave him some slow but hefty punches to the face. He quickly turned round to see if Chan was ready as Chan breathed in deeply as he got into another fighting stance with focus in his eyes. Seeing that he was ready, Tyranitar pushed the dizzied dark Blaziken towards his partner.
"Chan, Blaze Kick now!" Black Jack instructed.
"Dodge!" Damien instructed calmly.
Darkfire suddenly came round as he ducked underneath Chan's trademark flaming kick, which was aiming for his face. Chan turned round to perform the attack again but Darkfire grabbed him by the face and slammed his head into the rocky grounds, causing an explosion and engulfing him in dark flames. Chan quickly rolled along the ground to put the fire out before standing up and looking at his opponent, who showed a small confident smirk.
Despite having aches, bruises and burnt marks on parts of his body, Chan showed no signs of giving up. He spotted Tombstone walking up towards Darkfire, glaring maliciously at Tyranitar. Noticing this, Chan moved his eyes towards Black Jack and Tyranitar; he motioned his head, signalling Black Jack to get Tyranitar to fight Tombstone. Knowing Chan's desire of defeating a tough opponent, they nodded in agreement.
"How sweet," Damien said in a sarcastic tone. "But sweetness will not save your life."
"Tyranitar! Get Tombstone!" Black Jack yelled, ignoring Damien's comment.
"So be it," Damien said. "You two, destroy!"
Tyranitar let out a loud roar as he charged towards Tombstone, running past the confident Darkfire, and knocking him down with a tackle and started pummelling like he was a punching bag, but Tombstone countered as he rolled on top of Tyranitar and started punching
As the two Tyranitar exchanged blows, the Blaziken stared maliciously at each other in the eyes as the stood in their fighting stance.
"Chan." Black Jack said. "Use your taunt."
Chan did as he was instructed as he beckoned Darkfire to attack him. "Allowing me to attack first I take it?" Damien asked. "Very well then. Darkfire, attack with Mach Punch!"
Darkfire, like a speeding bullet, zoomed towards Chan, attempting to land his attack on any anatomy. Both Black Jack and Chan focused and attempted to predict where Darkfire would hit. "It's aiming for your face," Black Jack warned instinctively.
Chan nodded in agreement as he ducked down from Darkfire's attack and landed an elbow on Darkfire's midsection. He then grabbed Darkfire's furry chest and tossed him over his shoulder, making him landed harshly on his lower back on the concrete floor.
Darkfire slowly got up to his feet, holding his hurt back. "(Pathetic)," Darkfire grumbled.
"(Pathetic)?" Chan questioned. "(Didn't I counter your Mach Punch? A punch that can never miss)?"
"(You dare insult me)?" Darkfire muttered angrily. "(You'll pay)."
With that said, the two Blaziken continued fighting their fierce battle.
Damien looked into Tombstone's direction and saw that Black Jack's Tyranitar was at a losing end. Tyranitar was struggling to get his feet while his opponent was stalking him. "Snatch him by the neck, Tombstone," he ordered as he saw Tyranitar standing up.
"Tyranitar! Watch out!" Black Jack yelled.
But Tyranitar was too dizzy to focus as he turned towards Tombstone and got grabbed by the neck. "Now, Body Slam him," Damien ordered. Tombstone nodded obediently as he lifted him up as high as he could and slammed him viciously on the ground, which seemingly knocked him out.
"You're Tyranitar's finished!" Damien yelled triumphantly.
"I don't think so," Black Jack replied, showing a confident smirk.
To everyone's shock, Tyranitar quickly sat up, somehow recovering from the devastating Body Slam that Tombstone delivered. He slowly got up to his feet until he fully stood, much to Tombstone's shock.
"Tombstone! Mega Punch!" Damien yelled, not allowing a moment of hesitation to come over him.
The clenched paw of Tombstone vigorously glowed as he aimed his punch towards Tyranitar's face.
"Counter attack," Black Jack instructed.
Tyranitar quickly grabbed Tombstone's paw and gave him a punch of his own, staggering him.
Knowing that Tyranitar would fight well against Tomsbstone, he turned his attention back to Chan's battle against Darkfire.
"Darkfire, use your Ember again," Damien commanded.
Darkfire shot out a small fireball along the floor. It sped through the floor like a speeding bullet. "That's the same attack he used before," Black Jack thought. "Who do they think I am?"
"Chan!" he ordered. "Jump to your right!"
Chan leapt to his right and high into the air upon hearing that command. "Predictable fool," Damien thought smugly.
Darkfire, focusing his opponent's movement, waved his left foreleg sideways, guiding his fireball. The fireball moved towards Chan and it shot out a huge pillar underneath him. Chan and Black Jack never saw that coming as Chan got caught by the fiery pillar, making him immobile.
"Chan's in trouble," Black Jack thought in a desperate tone.
"Darkfire… now for the grand finale," Damien said in a sinister tone.
A dark and evil energy surrounded Darkfire as he sped towards the immobilised Chan. Upon catching his prey, Black Jack watched desperately as Darkfire slashed viciously and mercilessly on Chan's body while Chan screamed in pain.
Black Jack looked at Tyranitar's direction, looking to see if Tyranitar would be able to help Chan out. Unfortunately, Tyranitar was held back by Tombstone as Tombstone held him by the arm and got distracted as he fought back.
"Now, finish him off!" Damien yelled.
Darkfire clutched Chan by neck and pressed one of his paws on him. Dark energy appeared on the paw that was pressed on Chan's chest and then the energy exploded, engulfing Chan in dark flames.
Chan landed badly on his back but he rolled around to put out the fire that surrounded him, stopping any further damage. After the fire was put out, Chan became badly injured as he tried to get to his feet. His vision became blurry. "(Master)," he whispered as he fainted.
"Darn! I can't lose it now," Black Jack thought turning his attention to the green dinosaur. "Tyranitar needs my help."
Damien and Darkfire turned their attention away from Chan. "Darkfire," Damien. "I allow you to witness what Tombstone shall do Black Jack's pathetic Tyranitar."
"You'll soon see," Black Jack replied as he saw Tyranitar gaining the upper hand. "Tyranitar! Snatch him by the neck!"
Tyranitar did as he was instructed, grabbing Tombstone by the neck, making him to struggle to break free but to no avail. "Now, Body Slam him!" Black Jack yelled.
Upon hearing the command, Tyranitar lifted his opponent up as high as he could. As he was about to slam him hard on the hard rocky ground, Damien saw the moment to counter the move.
"Tombstone! Reversal!" Damien yelled. Tombstone immediately wrapped his arm around Tyranitar's head and slammed it on the ground, much to Black Jack's shock. "Shoot!" Black Jack cursed.
As Tyranitar struggled to get to his feet while shaking off the dizziness off his head, Damien and Tombstone saw this as an opportunity to finish him and Black Jack off. "Tombstone," Damien said confidently. "Use your Earthquake and Body Slam combination!"
"That's my move," Black Jack thought with a shock. "He's been learning a lot."
Tombstone nodded at Damien's command as he walked over to the confused Tyranitar. He grabbed hold of his waist and hoisted him up as high as he could over his head.
"Tyranitar!" Black Jack yelled suddenly. "Reverse it with your Skull Crack!"
As Tyranitar heard his friend's voice, he came round and quickly broke free from Tombstone's grip and kicked him in the gut. He then picked his opponent up and turned him upside down. He looked maliciously at the new enemies of his and Black Jack's life, wondering why they wouldn't help their comrade out. Without needing an answer, he violently dropped the top of his opponent's head onto the ground, knocking him out.
"Impressive," Damien said with an evil smile on his face. "Let's see how you fare well with Darkfire."
"With pleasure," Black Jack replied, with hatred in his tone. "Get him, Tyranitar."
Tyranitar let out a huge roar but neither Damien nor Darkfire were intimidated. "Enough roaring," Damien said. "Darkfire, use your Hi Jump Kick."
Darkfire leapt into the air and performed a diving kick towards his opponent, who dodged out of the way upon hearing Black Jack's command. "Again, Darkfire!" Damien yelled.
The dark Blaziken attempted to perform the same move again, but as Tyranitar dodged out of the way, a foot of a pokemon was slammed onto his face, knocking him out, much to everyone's shock. It turned out to be Chan, who was barely recovering from his injuries. As he finished his attack, he fell to the ground, holding the hurting parts of his body.
The shock on Damien's face slowly turned into an evil smirk again. "You win," he said. "I had no doubt that you are strong."
"You know what this means, don't you?" Black Jack said. "But unlike you, I'm not a murderer."
"Strange," Damien said as he took out two pokeballs off his belt, zapping his two defeated pokemon back into their pokeballs. "For a man who is strong and violent, turns out to be a noble man."
"Besides, I don't plan to be killed today," he said as he and the dark scenery started to slowly disappear. "As long as I exist… you will never be free from me."
"Fine with me," Black Jack said. "I'll be waiting for you so I can torture you even further."
"We shall see," Damien said as he faded away totally, putting Black Jack and his pokemon in total darkness.
"Lawrence!" a familiar voice yelled. "Is this one of your tricks?"
"I have nothing to do with this," yelled another in a serious tone. "Someone bring the lights back up!"
As the lights were brought up, Black Jack and his pokemon found themselves inside Team Dark's base again, this time with his injured pokemon.
"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…"
