RS: Voidmoon: Andy's acting like who? I'm making him like any ordinary trainer. Smart. Handles situations well. Hates complaining. Oh. He's probably acting like Chad huh? Fine, I'll make him a little bit more optimistic and friendly. A LITTLE bit.

Sorry for not updating sooner. I had a lot of homework. I also had to do some stuff over the weekend.

Fishing for a Battle

It's been 2 days since the battle with the Shade. The three have entered a slightly wooded area. They met a traveler that told them about a lake in this direction. Celia wanted to check it out. But right now, she's having a bad hair day.

"Hey Celia, what's that thing on your head?" "What thiAAAAHHHHH!" A Spinarak was on top of her head, playing with her hair.

"KROC! HELP ME OUT!" The little crocodile looked at Celia for one moment, then burst out laughing.

"KROC! YOU EVIL LITTLE CREATURE! I SWEAR I'LL KI-AHHHHHH! GET IT OFF ME!"

"Celia, now you know how Claws treats me." Claws released himself and was about to slash Brian when he saw the Spinarak dangling on Celia's head. A split second later, Claws and Kroc were rolling around on the floor laughing at Celia. Andy just sighed. He walked over to Celia and tried helping her. But Celia was so panic-stricken she flailed her arms out and slapped Andy, leaving a red handprint on his face. He then charged, but was shot in the face with string shot.

"Ok, that's it. Blaze, Go!" Blaze came out.

"Blaze, use Ember now!" Celia screamed even louder. "I DON'T WANNA BE FRIED!" Blaze was about to fire the Ember, but then collapsed out of laughter when he saw Andy's face covered in web.

Brian was just standing there, staring at the pandemonium. (ooh, big word. Learned it in English class.) Kroc finally came to her senses and Water Gunned Celia. The Spinarak flew off and Celia was left there dripping wet. Blaze Scratched Andy's face, ripping off the web and leaving a scratch mark on Andy. Celia then turned around and stared at Kroc, who was still laughing with Claws. When she stared, Claws slowly backed away and returned himself. Kroc finally turned and saw Celia. She didn't look happy.

Long story short, after this scene Kroc will be in constant pain for a long time.

After leaving a couple of shoe prints on Kroc, Celia and the others went on. After walking for a couple of hours, they finally reached the lake.

Celia gasped at its beauty. The lake was glittering, with a little Pokemon and some people taking a sunbath or swimming a nice swim.

"Wow, it's hard to believe that something as beautiful as this can exist under a dark lord."

The three walked to the shore. A cool breeze blew through Celia's hair.

"Kroc, go take a swim. You too, Flash!" The Totodile and Pichu popped out. Flash had to drag the injured Kroc to the lake.

Zeck was sitting on a branch. Claws was catching some Z's under him. Blaze stayed by Andy while Nidor buried himself in the sand.

(switching to Pokemon language. In other words, the Pokemon will be talking in English. Any humans talking will be italicized.)

Kroc was swimming for a while with Flash clinging on to her tail.

"Ouch! Celia sure does kick hard." "Hey, you earned it. But I have to admit, that was kinda funny." Flash got tired after a while, and climbed onto Kroc's back. They swam for a couple of minutes before a Water Gun almost hit Flash. Kroc turned and saw a Squirtle glaring menacingly.

"Look at the BABY! He has to get carried around!" Kroc glared back. "HEY! He is a toddler! And what was that attack about?" The Squirtle grinned, then charged Totodile.

Kroc acted immediately. She fired Flash back onto the shore with a Water Gun and faced the Squirtle. But it was too late. The Skull Bash connected with full force. Kroc went under. She struggled, then finally came to. She tried a Water Gun, but only a rush of air blasted out.

"Oh yeah! I'm underwater!" "Duh, you retard!" Squirtle charged Kroc again. But this time she was prepared. Her eyes grew red, then she swam toward Kroc. Squirtle again used Skull Bash, trying to knock out Kroc. But she stopped abruptly before getting hit and swam up. Squirtle turned around and used Skull Bash again. But Kroc was quicker. She sped toward him then slammed her tail onto Squirtle's face. He flew out of the water and hit a tree. The tree just happened to have a sleeping Treecko in it and a sleeping Linoone under it.

When Squirtle got up, he found two very annoyed Pokemon staring at him.

"What do you think you're doing!" "I'm gonna shred you like a BBQ pork!" The Squirtle was frightened, but not out of control. He used Rapid Spin, trying to hit Zeck and Claws away. Zeck Bullet Seeded him until his shell was dented. Claws rushed in and Headbutted Squirtle back into the water where an angry Totodile was waiting.

"Serves you right!"

"Hey! What do you think you're doing to Sheller?" Zeck looked up and saw a skinny boy with a straw hat, blue jeans, and a red shirt. He snorted in disgust.

"What a wimpy trainer." "He's about the with of a straw!" Claws charged at him. But then a Thunder Wave coursed through his body. Zeck jumped up and pushed off a tree to try to hit the trainer. But another bolt of lightning hit him and paralyzed him as well. The 2 paralyzed Pokemon lay there on the ground.

(back to normal)

Celia, Andy, and Brian walked over to the trainer. Brian was shocked to see his Pokemon.

"My Pokemon!" Brian returned them. Kroc got out of the water and stood by Celia's side.

"Toto Toto Dile!" "Squirt Squirt!" "Chin Chou Chin!" A fish with 2 yellow antennae was floating in the water.

Brian exclaimed, "A Chinchou!" Celia looked at the trainer.

"Who do you think you are, attacking my Pokemon in the water like that?"

The trainer replied, "Well, my name is Will, and I guess Sheller can't stand to see pathetic water Pokemon like yours."

"Squirt Squirtle!" The Squirtle stuck its tongue at Kroc.

"PATHETIC? I'LL SHOW YOU PATHETIC! Kroc, lets battle this loser!" Kroc glared at the Squirtle. It glared back.

"How about a double battle, or is that weak Pichu the only other Pokemon you have?" Andy strode forward.

"I'll battle with her. Go Blaze!" The Charmander and Totodile stood ready for instructions.

"That all you fellas got? Shocker, use Thunderwave! Water Gun the Charmander, Sheller!" (I'm assuming you know who Shocker and Sheller are)

"Kroc, use Scary Face!" "Follow it up with Scratch, Blaze!" Before the Chinchou could attack, Kroc glared at it with menacing eyes. Shocker was scared to death. It hid underwater. Blaze then lunged at Sheller with a Scratch, landing a claw mark on Sheller's face.

"SQUIRTLE!" Sheller launched a point blank Water Gun at Blaze, sending it flying back.

"Blaze! You alright? Good, use Rage!" "Kroc, you too!" Both of their eyes grew red. They charged the unsuspecting Squirtle.

"What kinda wimpy attack is that? Sheller, Bubble the Charmander!" "He's got a name you know!" "Does it look like I care?"

Blaze jumped out of the way of the attack. Kroc slammed into Sheller.

"Sheller, use Skull Bash on the Totodile!" Sheller flew toward Kroc. She stood there, taking the attack full force. Her eyes grew redder.

"Well that was a dumb move, girl!" Brian smiled at the big mistake Will was making.

"Let's show that guy how DUMB that move was! Rage again!" Kroc flew at Sheller, using all her body weight on Sheller. He was thrown back at the attack.

"How'd it get so strong! Sheller, Skull Bash! Make sure it doesn't get up!" This time, Sheller's head lowered, and he was focusing energy into a powerful attack. Suddenly, an Ember attack torched his shell. Sheller turned around to see Blaze.

"Take care of that annoying Charmander first! Water Gun!" The stream of water knocked out Blaze.

"Blaze! Return!" "Kroc, Rage again!" The red-eyed Totodile charged into Sheller again, sending him flying. However, Sheller still refused to give up.

Celia, too, was astounded at the resilience of this Squirtle. Will explained. "My Sheller has an excellent defense. Those wimpy attacks won't be enough to take my Sheller out!" Sheller nodded his head in agreement.

"Fine! Use Bite!" Kroc opened her wide mouth and clamped down on Sheller. Unfortunately, Sheller had Withdrawn into his shell and Kroc cracked a couple of her teeth.

"Water Gun, Sheller!" "You too, Kroc!" Both of the contestants sucked in air, then blasted a stream of water. The attacks met halfway. They seemed to be equally powerful. Then Kroc's Water Gun pushed Sheller's back and back.

"Shocker, help Sheller out!" Shocker finally recovered from his cowardliness and used Thundershock on the current of water.

"Kroc, jump out of the way!" "Sheller, keep it up!" Kroc stopped her attack and jumped. Sheller continued the Water Gun assault. The Thundershock coursed through the current of water and zapped Sheller really hard.

"How'd that happen! Sheller, get up!" Sheller slowly rose to his feet. But before Shocker could react, Kroc had driven her tail onto Shocker's face, knocking the wind out of him.

Sheller finally got up and tried to ram his head into Kroc. Kroc nimbly dodged and slammed her tail onto Sheller's side, sending him flying back. He was obviously weakened.

"Kroc, finish him off with Surf!" Kroc concentrated really hard. She then jumped into the air and landed on the ground. A small crack ripped through the ground. Then a wave of water burst through ground and slammed into Sheller. After the attack resided, an unconscious Squirtle was laying there.

"Good job Kroc! Nice Surf attack!" Kroc gave a wide smile. Will was still shocked with his loss.

"I lost? I thought she was a wimpy trainer! I'll beat you…eventually…" With that, he returned his Pokemon with 2 stones, tossed a bit of cash onto the ground, then left.

Brian was surprised with Celia's victory as well. "It was a wonder that Kroc was still able to get up after that attack you onslaughted her with." Celia then flung her foot out at Brian, leaving a shoeprint on his face. She then threw Kroc some fruit, which she munched on happily.

"I have to admit, that was pretty good, mastering the Surf attack." Andy congratulated. "Good job, Celia." She smiled.

Suddenly, Claws released himself. Apparently, the paralysis had worn off. Claws looked left and right, trying to find the one who paralyzed him.

"Claws, the trainer left already. Celia and Andy beat him." Claws looked at Brian questionably, then scratched him for no apparent reason.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Brian started chasing Claws. Everyone was laughing, except Brian.


(nighttime) The three have decided to set up camp right there at the lake. They sat around the campfire again. But this time, Andy was with them.

"We better pick up the training. The Rivet Town noble sounds hard from the info the people we've met have told us. There are probably a lot of Shades in the town square, so our Pokemon have to be ready."

"Yeah, I agree." Celia replied.

"We'll be ready for the noble. He'll get so badly whopped he won't know what hit him!"

Andy then looked at Brian. "Do you remember what happened when the noble's assistant battled you? He almost killed Zeck although you had the type advantage. I'm being serious. We have to be ready."

Brian sighed. "Fine fine. We'll train our butts off." Claws snorted, then slashed Brian again. Everyone had a good laugh, then they all went to bed.
