Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures

Chapter 36: Godlier in Every Way

Last time on B&T: Carl made it to the Ancient Temple of a God. Inside, a sadistic omnipresent deity forced our heroes to have raunchy... um, just kidding! Anyways, I'm sure you know what's going on, so back to the story. But before we go on, I need to make a point clear... not every pokemon will be met in the first installment! Come on now, what will I have left to introduce when Carl and Co. go half way around the world... oops, spoiler. (Lucky you! Now onwards!)

We find ourselves at a scene change, HOORAY! Looks like we're back at Pallet Town. You should know what our focus is here. "Nice work Ledyba. You have a nack for this." smiled young Sheryl Garen, the girl who is secretly enamored with Carl. Ledyba mere said its name as it went to work, sorting a few files at Oak's lab. There she, for those who forget, is helping out for some extra cash, and learning experiences. Mostly the second reason though.

But today, she's in for a bit of a shock. A conversation has arisen nearby. "Gee, I just don't understand it. That's the 12th man this week." said an older sounding woman, it was Carl's mother.

"Me neither," replied Sheryl's mother. "But I doubt that these dropping ins are all coincidence..." she had a few suspicions.

Cheryl merely giggled. "They still don't know," She smiled, "but we cant let em know." she said to Ledyba. The bug nodded, "Wait, you can't tell them anyway."

There was unfortunately one listener. "Well," smiled an elderly scientist. Ye olde Oak had heard it all. "This explains why Mrs. Spacro has been visited by many bachelors." he sounded a bit disappointed, but not angry. "I don't know how you did it, so I'm impressed, but why 'did' you do such a thing?"

"For her own benefit. She has been saying that she's been feeling a bit lonely as of late, so..." she never got a chance to finish.

"Well..." he was impressed, "That may be true, but that doesn't give you any rights to do such a thing. It' an invasion of one's personal space, and you did so without consent. Now, I would tell your mother, but that wont help the situation." said the Professor.

"But, but I can explain." she sighed, "I'll tell you everything."

The professor looked to be in thought "Well. I suppose so. Its break time anyways, and I'm in the mood for a good story." he smiled, as Sheryl proceeded to tell the old man all that she knew.

Finally, we're back to the real reason of the story, our main man! Look how confident Carl Spacro is feeling! "Alright there, God, what's 'my' next challenge!"

"'Your' as in all of you, must fight a team I specially designed to overpower every flaw you have. The good news is, there is no scoreboard, the bad news is, you have to beat more than have of these battles. That means you need 4 out of 7! No, you cannot catch anything." he chuckled, as a magical light zapped downwards, creating what appeared to be 7 different pokemon.

In front, a serpentine beast, glossy black with fangs dripping venom, its pointed tail swishing about.

Behind it, standing tall, a large dragon, orange with wings, and a blue body was in waiting.

Next, not quite so intimidating, a small monkey, looking as though it were in a enlightened trance sat there, floating slightly.

Then, a bird, looking small yet fierce. It was definitely not a Sperow, for its wings were black, and its underbelly was red and white.

After that, a strange looking beast, two large swollen back appendages dipped with fiery powers. It looked as though it could survive a desert storm, and never need much water.

Yet not all looked so deadly, for there was then something that seemed almost... too cute, and overly flowery. It almost looked like a dancer, with flowers in its yellow, yet verdant head, and a skirt of the most vibrant variety of leaves.

Lastly, a large, rocky pokemon was chosen. Circular and tough, it looked like a solid rock with legs sticking out, and a face for an appendage.

"The pokemon here can only be fought by a similar kind of pokemon, or in some instances, I will make the decision. Mermaid, this battle concerns you not!" the deity boomed.

Carl and his friends glanced about each other. "Ok guys," said Yetis, "That black serpent is probably going to be for you Carl."

"I know, Ekans goes to war." he nodded at the obvious. "I think you and Primape get to smash a flying monkey. I think Elise has to fight the bird, with Hoot-hoot, or Kim uses Natu. I'm not sure."

"I think I get the Bellosom." Kim said, pointing to the flower dancer "My Chikorita is better trained than yours."

"So, what's the giant boulder going to fight?" wondered Elise.

"I don't know." Yetis said. "You can smash a Dragonite, Charmeleon Style. Don't know about that Numel though."

"We'll have to find out about those 2. Lets just see what happens..." paused Kim,"Come God, show us your training skills!" she gloated.

"You will see my skills, kid. You will see."

A/N: Another day, another adventure. Next chapter, Carl and friends will dish it out with a godsend team. Can you guess who fights the rock, and who fights Numel? Clue, Numel is the 'ground hybrid battle', and Carl might need to use a TM he got from Trite the marine Gym Leader. Remember, Yetis told Carl all about a pokemon of his that can learn it... oddly enough. Remember, use the review button at the bottom of the page. Good news, as soon as the ocean adventure surfaces fully, I start 'Odyssey of a Bully, Journeying with Mark, and some Submitted trainers will be used. Remember the basics, refer to chapter 'Krabtastic Teachers We' for Rules. And don't be afraid to tell your friends to read either. After I reach 100 reviews, good things will happen. Peace!
