Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures
Chapter 19: Them Bones, Them Battles!
"Welcome back! We rejoin our battle as Carl and Luis's pokemon dish it out! It's all or nothing, and it's only round one! Man, I love my job. but I want a raise." at this point, the crowd makes awkward silence. "I have to learn to work this thing better!" he embarrassedly remarks.
Now, on with the battle, Drowzee has had some meditation time, meaning stats go up, and Cubone is raring to go! Carl makes his move first, "Drowzee, use Pound!" Carl commands, as the strange taper lifts its hands, and lunged towards the pokemon with its legs first.
"I think not! Head-butt!" Luis retorted, as both pokemon clashed at the same time, but Drowzee seemed to go out a bit more bruised. "Now, Bone Club!"
"Ok Drowzee! Detect!" Carl ordered. At this command, Drowzee began to focus, aim, and keep its eye fully on the club of bones. As it came down, there was a loud 'WHACK!' But.
"What!" Luis was stunned, for Drowzee caught club in its hands, before it could strike.
"Drowzee, finish it with Hypnosis!" Carl commanded, at this pointblank range! From this distance, there was no way that the bone warrior could escape naptime, and it didn't!
"Well, Cubone is unable to battle, Drowzee is the winner!" went the announcer of this tourney.
"Alright!" Carl cheered, "You did great Drowzee, return!"
***
"Well," Yetis commented from off the battlefield, as Carl approached, "That was some pretty neat battling Carl. I can't wait to see what happens next."
"Yea, well, good luck in your battle."
"Don't say that!" Yetis yelled, "I don't need luck, it's just a useless substitute for true skill."
"Yea you're right," our main man sighed in relief, "Give them heck!"
Yetis merely smiled and nodded.
***
Back on the battlefield, we see 2 new contestants revving up for combat. I guess we missed the second battle. Oh poop! Well, we'll make it for round 3. One of them looks familiar, like a young kid, younger than our main man by a few years.
"Now, let's hear it for Hino!" as the crowd applauds, "And." the announcer continues, "Jay Cass!" At that, there is a great pause. (Yes, he did give a false last name, because it's a prank!)
"Let's do it!" Jay says, as the judgment of the pokemon he will stick with goes into effect.
"Well folks, it seems that young Jay Cass has chosen a Fearow and Clefairy, but can these winged warriors beat Hino's Golduck and Tangela! Let's watch folks."
***
In the audience, we can see Kim beginning to think, 'He looks familiar. could it be? Them 'again'!' she sighed inwardly feeling extreme discomfort. "Wonder what kind of combination that is."
***
"Fearow, you have the edge here, lift Clefairy with your talons, and use Drill Peck on that little weed!" Jay smirked, "Clefairy, when we get close enough, use Psy-Beam!" From that order, the powerful Fearow gave Clefairy the lift, and readied itself for a piercing Drill Peck. Meanwhile, Clefairy used its new ride to its advantage, preparing a nice wave of psychic force.
Hino wasted no time however. "Golduck, use Hydro Pump!" he commanded. From that, many tons of water hit the arena, creating a few inches of water depth. "Tangela, use this water to your advantage! Growth!"
It was quite strange, but from the growth ability, Tangela began absorbing the water, and became a bit larger in size. This didn't help it avoid the Drill Peck, but did reduce its affects slightly." Fearow, use Double Edge, you can release Clefairy now too!" Fearow complied, and the fairy began to fall towards the ground, "Land on that Duck, and use Pound!" he commanded, and boy did it work. Clefairy made quite a landing, and smashed right into the psychic duck. As for Fearow, lets just say he put some edge on Tangela, as he smashed his birdlike body right into the walking overgrowth, causing a bit of recoil to himself, but a bit more to Tangela.
"Golduck, use Cross Chop!" Hino's duck nodded to his Trainer's will, and gave the fairy a nice powerful swipe, and sent it flying backwards in pain. "Tangela, knock it out with your Slam Attack."
"No you don't!" Jay countered, "Clefairy, use Minimize, and Fearow, use Sky Attack, with Clefairy safe on your back." Before the weed fiend could smack into the pink moon beast, it became small, very small, but Fearow has bird's eye vision, and was easily able to see the shrunken Clefairy. After that, Fearow flew up into the air, and began glowing somewhat orange, as its body pulsed with energy.
"This is not even nearly over yet. Golduck, Ice Beam! Tangela, use Vine Whip, and try to hold them still so they get hit with that Ice Beam!" Vines, and icy forces began to torpedo towards the winged duo, but would it be enough?
"Clefairy, use that Flamethrower attack I taught you!" but it wasn't quite on time, for a beam of ice went head on with Fearow, and he began to froze. but it wasn't the end of this mighty bird, for the faerie fire was beginning to burn, as it melted some of that ice, and the vines were crisped before they could hit, and even ever so slightly, a bit managed to hit Golduck, who really felt no pain from it. "Now Fearow, attack!"
It was time. Fearow and his mighty glow came to be, and he dived forward at amazing speed, smashing right into Tangela, giving it the big finish, (not to mention, a slight haircut) and even hit Golduck, but he was still in this match.
"Golduck, use Screech!" Hino ordered, causing it to begin to break the sound barrier, with uh. sound! Duh! Anyways, it was a very forceful sonic noise, and it sent the shrunken, lighter, and no longer bird bound fey flying right into a wall.
"Clefairy, hang in there. Use your Perish Song on Golduck, and be careful!" Jay ordered.
It was a strange melody, and one of eerie proportions. As Clefairy sung, Jay had some other plans too. "Fearow, use Mud Slap! With all that dirt and water, it should be easy!" he smirked, and he was right too. It was muddy hell for Golduck, but also muddy/muddy vision to. The bad news was the lack of mud pies, but we can do with out those, and Golduck began to lose sight of everything.
"Golduck, use Foresight!" Hino gave the order. Foresight, as you all know, allows normal/fighter moves to hit ghosts, but it also removes evasion builders, and its eyes began glowing a burning red, and the mud was no longer fogging them up, but Clefairy still remained a bit small.
This however, took too long. "Fearow, use Peck! Clefairy, use Rest!" commanded Jay with confidence. "We should be able to win this guys!" he smiled. Oh yea, victory for Jay was inevitable, for even though Golduck tried to take them down, the song of perish caught up to him, and Clefairy, as they both fell, leaving Fearow alone.
It was enough, because "Jay's team is the winner!" the announcer commended, as the audience began to cheer.
***
Now, we see a few rounds later, it's our good pal Yetis! Hooray! "Meet our next match, between Yetis, and Jena! Who will these 2 young trainers choose?" Yetis, and his competition, a girl, began to decide which pokemon to battle with.
'I hope I'm making a good choice.' he let fate go from there, and released his pokemon. "Swinub, Golbat, I have faith in you guys!" he told the 2 mammalian pokemon that he sent into battle.
Jena at about the same time chose as well, "Let's show them what we've got." She said in a rather calm, and undemanding voice, as if she was asking her Pokemon to do what has to be done, instead of just giving orders. Out from the pokeballs came an odd looking cat with fiery nature, and a horned fish with orange scales. "Persian, Seaking, lets go." She smiled. "Seaking, let's use Rain Dance." And from here, we speed things up a bit as Swinub begins with Powdered Snow, and Persian attacks with Thunder, but Swinub uses his ground type to soak it up and protect Golbat.
Golbat then follows up with Steel Wing, and Seaking uses counter, causing Golbat almost worlds of pain. From there, Persian uses coinage OWNAGE with Pay Day, but doesn't do too much pain.
***
Scene change, oh boy! Complains your one and only sarcastic narrator! Look, it's Jay! Hey, there're those Team Rocket freaks... so it really 'is' them! Well, let's listen in like the good eavesdroppers we are. "Prepare yourself, for we shall gloat!" began the female member.
"And make it double when we get on that boat!" went the male.
"Can it you two!" Jay sighed. "William, Bonnie. You guys really shouldn't get too excited yet, but I 'will' win. Good thing we gave the boss those ghosts we found."
"Yup!" smiled William, "He's not angry at us any more. We earned a vacation, now win those tickets!"
"Don't worry Wilbur, I will!"
"Don't call me WILBUR!" shouted an angry Wilbur- I mean William.
***
"Looks like Yetis and his pokemon were just too much for the kindhearted Jena, as Swinub manages to clutch victory with Endure!" The scene is Yetis with Golbat fainted, and Swinub hanging on, but the last standing! Don't worry, this is on local TV, we'll catch it again later. maybe. unlikely. actually never!
**
Back off the tournament. where competitors still remaining stay, we see Yetis and Carl chatting together. "Carl, I made it!" as these two friends slapped each other high-five!
"Alright! We're going to get us some tickets!" smiles our main man. "I can't wait! With our Pokemon, we will win."
***
And the battles do continue, as our old friend Cory easily manages his first victory. He uses an infernal snail, Magcargo, and the muscle- bound freak, Machoke! The strategy. teamwork bowling! But let's not give it all away.
***
"Now, our 16 remaining finalists are in their 2 round finals!" that lucky announcer just how to make them cheer. "And in round 2, the battles are not so regular! Now, they battlefield is bigger, obstacle covered, and tougher to handle at times. Are you ready?" he shouts.
"Yea!" almost everybody cheered.
"Good, then you'll find out next episode!" the announcer finished, as the crowd awed in sadness. Oh suck it up babies!
AN: Well, another chapter done, we're getting to the remaining 16 of this event. Who will win: Carl, Yetis, Jay, maybe Cory or someone else. Stick around and find out, oh yea, don't forget to review.
