Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures
Chapter 5: Great Stone Serpent
Once again, we join Carl as he continues his journey. He stands at the outskirts of Pewter city, waiting and thinking back on the past few days. 'This is great. I'm not just catching Pokemon. I'm making friends.' He said as Kim came up to him and disturbed him from his train of thought.
"Hey Carl, ready to fight at the gym? I hear that the leader, Brock, has some strong stone pokemon."
"I'm as ready as I could ever be." Said Carl, with a happy mood, as he ran down towards the city where victory would no doubt be his, or so Carl thought.
***
Meanwhile, at Somewhere Secret.
"We made a catch today." Said a male voice, feigning cheeriness despite immense fear.
"What did you get for me?" asked a dark voice. The voice had a power behind it, a dark, and scary power.
"A Ledyba," came a female voice, as a poke-ball popped up, and the bug came out.
"Bah! You bring me a worthless catch! William, Bonnie! Your failures begin to sicken me!" came the powerful man's voice as the pokemon was recalled. "I've given you both months to try to get something good. yet this is all you find! I guess it's time you get back to child's play." He sighed as a click was heard. "You 2 will be working with a skilled kid amongst our ranks. He 'might' be able to straighten you out. Now get out of here!" he began 2 yell as the sound of rapid footwork went into play.

Back with Carl, who has just left the Pokemon center with his healed pokemon, continues onwards to the gym. "Lets go fight that leader!" Carl said to his Poke-balls, as if they were able to hear him. Kim nodded as they stood outside the gym, and entered for a surprise.
The inside of the gym was immense. It had a few lights, and there was a dirt floor arena that looked like it was recently dug back up. "Guess nobody's here Carl." Said Kim, as a slight echo picked up.
"Wait!" called a voice in the dark room. It sounded serious "I presume you've come for a gym battle. Well I have but one question." as the mood suddenly changed, "Is he your boyfriend?" he asked as he got some very funny looks from the 2 who had entered. He appeared too, as lights went on, on the ceiling. It was Brock, leader of the Pewter Gym.
"NO!" yelled Kim, in an angry tone, "Besides, he's the one who wants to battle, not me!"
"Very well." Sighed Brock "We'll have a 2 on 2 battle. Are you ready?" he asked, as he threw a poke-ball, "Go Geodude!"
Carl looked at the rock creature, and smirked, "Very well, Bellsprout, you beat Sudowoodo, you can beat this guy too." He said as he threw the poke-ball, and released his plant pokemon.
"Geodude, tackle attack!" called Brock as the armed stone began hovering towards Bellsprout. 'Geo' went the pokemon
"Bellsprout, Vine Whip!" called Carl as a long leafy rope extended and wrapped around Geodude, "Alright!" he cheered.
"You haven't a clue, do you?" smirked Brock. "Geodude, Seismic Toss!" he called to his bramble-covered rock. The rock pokemon knew what to do, and grabbed the vines and began to swing them around. Bellsprout was sent high into the air, as the vine broke off from Bellsprout. "Now, Rapid Spin, & Rollout!" he called to his pokemon.
"Bellsprout, use your leech seed, and hurry!" called Carl as he saw Geodude free of his green prison, as he rolled quickly towards where the plant was. The plant quickly shot a seed out of its mouth, which merely got smashed by the quick rock, which seemed to be more like an indestructible boulder instead. It was powerful as the leafy pokemon was caught off guard by the rock pokemon. But it held its ground.
"Your Bellsprout is strong. It's typical to see trainers use grass or water pokemon when they come here. Geodude, rollout again!" he called as his pokemon continued its assault.
"Bellsprout root into the ground!" Carl said, as Bellsprout listened "Try to clamp the Geodude in your mouth, and when he reaches you, hold on tight!" Carl suggested. 'Bellsprout!' said the pokemon as it got to work readying itself.
Geodude was almost upon Bellsprout, as it continued to roll towards him. The rolling stone wouldn't last forever though, as Bellsprout took a shot, and clamped his mouth on its rocky hide. It used what little suction it could make, and tried to hold on tight, while not losing its roothold in the ground. "Huh?" thought Brock, as he watched in awe what happened. Geodude was slowing down.
"Just a bit longer." he said as he commanded Bellsprout, "Bellsprout! Absorb, then spit him out!" commanded Carl. Bellsprout made a strange sucking noise, and began to look much healthier and it spit with a great force. Geodude began to roll again, but it had lost control, and slammed right into a wall.
"Clever thinking. Geodude return! Now, lets see you beat this! Onix, go!" said Brock as a huge snake came out of a poke-ball.
"Wow! What is that?" asked Carl to his Pokedex. 'Onix,' Said the Pokedex 'the rock snake. One of the largest known pokemon, it is every bit formidable, and most attacks hardly dent its thick, rocky hide' "Bellsprout, be careful." Said Carl, as the little plant knew that it couldn't let fear get the better of it. "Start off with Vine Whip!" suggested Carl, as it threw its leafy rope to strike the giant serpent.
Onix didn't move though, it just stayed unmoving, and if it felt pain, it sure was straining to not show it. Brock merely smiled, for he knew what to do. After a bit more whipping, which lasted a few more seconds, Brock began to speak, "Onix, bide!" he called as the snake began to go on the offensive, and lunged at the little plant with an immense force
Carl knew well the Bide attack. It was one of the moves that Bellsprout had used to often save his life. "Bellsprout! No!" he called. This time, Bellsprout was knocked back and didn't get back up. "Return!"
"Hah!" went Brock, "Bide is a simple attack. It take dam-"
"I know what bide is! My bellsprout has it. Lets fight snake with snake, go Ekans!" went Carl as he unleashed the purple being. "Ekans," went Carl in a lower tone, "If you can get past its hide, maybe we can poison it. Ready?" he asked the snake, as it nodded its purple head, "Bite attack, now!" commanded Carl, who was surprised to see that the attack managed to break passed its stony skin. The giant snake yelped in pain.
"Onix, use harden!" he commanded, as the larger serpent began to get a stronger skin, which Ekans teeth could no longer grasp, as it fell off.
"Don't give up, use an acid attack!" he said as his pokemon began to produce a great venomous spray from its mouth. It headed right for the large snake, and left a burn.
"Onix, give it a body slam." Commanded Brock as his large snake began to lunge towards Ekans.
"Ekans, dig a hole underground." Commanded Carl, but it was unfortunately a bit too late, as he was caught by the slam of the giant snake. Nonetheless, the smaller snake managed to dig its way into the soil below, and escape Onix.
"Onix, don't try to follow it. Just wait until it comes back up." Went Brock, as he thought of a plan.
"Ekans, surface now." Commanded Carl, as his snake popped out of the ground only slightly, and bit Onix on the tail. Its fangs made their way deep, and Onix began to look sick. 'Groan!' went Onix as it weakly began to fall.
"Onix," went Brock, as he looked on with worry. "Self Destruct!" he shouted suddenly as his Onix began to glow and Ekans looked on in horror. It quickly took up hiding in the soil it had dug, hoping to avoid the blast.
BOOM! The explosion was finished, and Onix had fainted. Ekans was nowhere on the field though. "Oh no," thought Carl, as he watched with horror. 'Ekans!' came a loud hiss from the ground as a head popped out. "Ekans, you did it!" cheered Carl, as he hugged his snake pokemon as it licked his face.
"Well done Carl," came Kim's voice behind him. She almost sounded flirty.
Brock walked over to Carl. He was smiling, and had something in his hand. "Here, it's the Boulder Badge. You earned it. You have some pretty strong pokemon there." He commented, and looked at Kim, "Are you sure you don't want to." he said, but never finished as he got slapped in the face.
"No thanks!" she said, and with that she walked out of the gym.
Well, even with the flow of time changed, and Ash nonexistent, Brock is still a hopeless horn-dog beyond belief. Carl has attained his 1st badge, and is now well. Remember, review with thoughts, opinions, ideas, suggestions, tips, even flames.
